I think you have to enjoy life. It's too short to squander and take for granted. A friend/classmate last year in August 2007 was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She was 31 years old.
Her wedding was postponed while she is undergoing chemo/radiation. She froze a dozen eggs just in case.
We discussed a bit about finances. Her thoughts? It's nice being responsible (she is/was), but sometimes you gotta enjoy and grab at life. It can end very quickly.
I am much more relaxed about some stuff now. It's a tremendous perspective to be so young and yet examine your own mortality.
