hand, it is commonly considered that an individual's income should be used lavishly because more often than not the future is unknown. To put simply, some people prefer to live in the moment and enjoy life as it comes because they believe the future is unknown and can be terminal. Proponents argue that it is better to enjoy your wage now, rather than save it and take it to the grave rendering it useless to its' owner.
