Future Value is the idea that, I have a future - and - as a result of that idea, that I can enhance my future for when it comes around. That I can take action Now for a Future Benefit.
This Simple Concept is what a Farmer operates under. An Investment in Crop Sewing now for a Future Crop Reaping Reward later on. The farmer thinks he has a Future and is willing to spend Now Time, Now Money and Now Effort for the reward to come later. A reward which will enhance his future with an abundance of food and some money which can be invested into other Future Reward Programs - more crop sewing as well as monetary investments.
If you are paying off a home, or Saving for a Deposit, or Saving for anything, or working towards anything, you too believe you have a Future and are devoting some of your Now Time, Now Effort and Now Money towards that end.
A little-known part of Future Value is its Intrinsic Link to Capitalism. As much as a Socialist or Collectivist likes to think or wish otherwise, those Socialist/Collectivist systems Deprive people of a Sense of Future. Why work and save and whatnot, when I can Own nothing and therefore not enhance My Future in any way, shape or form?
Capitalism, on the other hand, is All about Future Value. The Free Exchange of Values we Possess, creates a system where we strive for Future Rewards. We exchange our Now Time, Now Money and Now Effort for something we deem of Value to us - Money. We then exchange the Value of money for Goods and Services where we deem the Good or Service has Equal or More Value - to us - than the money we exchange for it. A "Value For Value Exchange".
If we did not believe we had a future, we would not spend years getting a Degree or Trade Qualification or learning an instrument in the Hopes of a Reward in the future. We'd spend no time increasing our skill set or learning new things. We'd spend all our money doing what we wanted, when we wanted, and would most likely not even bother getting a job and would live on welfare. There would be no roads built for Future population growth, no buildings built to house the people or businesses which will come in the future. There would be no products made for people to use. Because no money would be spent with the idea of Waiting for the payoff. Progress would halt.
We'd become little more than subsistence societies. Which would eventually either Wake Up to the idea of Future Value - or - would simply diminish until we vanished altogether. Leaving nothing more than tribal types who hunt and gather what is available as is needed. Relying, like all other animals, on the fortune, or lack of, of mother nature to provide.
The sense, idea, concept of Future Value is what keeps us in inside running warm water, comfortable clothes, advanced medical treatment - and - dwellings with more Mod-Cons than the Royals of Medieval Europe had just a short 200 years ago.
