Nah. Old people often get very stingy with regard to spending money, even if they have plenty of it. Would you like having Future You bleat <old_woman_voice>YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT! IT'S EXPENSIVE!"</old_woman_voice> in your ear, each time you want to buy an $3 e-book?
I've been hearing that voice all my life. It's only now that I've gotten older that I've decided to ignore it if it's something that I really want.

...and I'm much happier because of it
