Therefore they yet have not felt any need for saving. But these turbulent times will surely teach them the importance of financial planing and insuring themselves for the future.

Please save with the intent to never get access to those funds...always save for a rainy day...always plan how much life energy it will take to pay back with interest. And make sure you are taking care of yourself as no one else will. You owe yourself the time and attention and unfortunately money is comfort...that is reality.

Do you think it is related to the concept of envisioning yourself as successful in order to be more successful? Because if you force people to think of themselves in the future, they certainly aren't going to imagine being dirt poor. They are going to imagine being wealthy, and then focus on what they have to do to achieve that. This is definitely an interesting thing to think about.
