As you look ahead in life you begin to realize that all of us are going to die someday. In your infancy you look forward to being a child. When you are a child you look forward to being a teenage. As a teen, you look forward to being a young adult. In your days of young adulthood you look forward to being middle-aged. When you reach middle-age you look forward to old age. But when you finally get old you realize that there is nothing more to look forward to in this life. There is no age after old age.

—Letters 213.1

I am not sure if we would all agree with Augustine about looking forward to old age per se. But that misses his point. We are mortals and have a finite life span. We have to live every day like our last because it may be. Where are you building your life’s capital? In a 401 account or in God?
