Time is the currency of your life, money is just ONE of the things that enable you to spend your currency in ways meaningful to you.

coupons

... but we are talking about money, or rather the fruit of your labor.

But it's really the same thing: redeeming coupons of time for things you value.

The smiles laughter and joy of family and friends, the first taste of my saturday morning cafe mocha constitutional, a sunny day in the mountains or walk along the shore, a quiet read by a fire at night.

in your OP you said

In the past week, 3 people on 3 seperate occasions asked me what good is money if you don't spend it.

It certainly doesn't do YOU any good once you are dead.

Certainly you need to plan for costs and future, but that is why you work in the first place.

Re: coupons

... I'm still waiting for that big day when I can call myself a man (aka 30 yr old).

But that's when you can no longer trust yourself ('60's hippy quote: never trust anyone over 30)

Also, I'm never going to die if I can help it.

My goal is to live forever or die trying.

Quote from my dad: you always find time for the things you really want to do. He's 86 and still finding things to do.

Enjoy.
