I inferred you are to the 2017 TEDx talk "Short-termism is killing us: it's time for Long path" by Ari Wallach.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Wallach, he refers to short-termism as focusing on short-term results at the expense of long-term interests.

In his words, short-termism is a problem because;

"it prevents the CEO from buying really expensive safety equipment"
"prevents teachers from spending quality one-on-one time with their students".

So in summary what Wallach is saying is that short-termism prevents futuristic thinking.

BigorU [14]

I think this is important without a doubt . You might need to use that money someday for yourself but won't have it because you spent it on a HUGE list of groceries. If you put some money aside for yourself, you will have money that your allowed to do anything with (saving, buying clothes, buying cars, etc.) You should always save some of your payment that way you always have extra money in case of any money emergenies or such.
