As Diane Ackerman said: "I don't want to get to the end of my life and find I only lived the length of it.  I want to have lived the width of it as well."

We all start off young and get older, but what we choose to do in between is ever more flexible; we may move in and out of education or employment, even marriages, childrearing and geographies.  Each change impacts psychologically, emotionally and, crucially, economically.  The more flexibility and control you have over your finances, the more readily and painlessly you can make the necessary adjustments.
