Quote by Harry Browne

If younger people see older people who haven't planned ahead and have to rely on charity, the young will be more likely to provide for the future. Today when someone plans poorly, the only consequence people see is a demand for more government.

If younger people see older people who haven't planned ahead

Summary

This quote suggests that if younger generations witness older individuals who fail to plan and consequently depend on charity or government assistance, it may serve as a motivator for the youth to better prepare for their own future. It argues that the perception of individuals facing negative consequences due to poor planning should inspire younger people to take responsibility for their financial well-being rather than relying solely on government support.
