The thing about that is, delaying gratification is very good. It creates a digital discipline where you and your other children play so you can enjoy long-term games.
But there is a catch, too much of anything is very bad, so when you get into your fifties, delaying gratification is not always wise, this is the time where you enjoy life.
When you get into fifties, bear the yoke in your youth, not when you have your reason to. How much is your life expectancy enjoy that gratification now travel buy or lease that car if you are if you are a widower or a widow and it still works mind for pleasure not for childbearing.
You never came to this life to suffer there are many things you can enjoy in life.
