 not a fan of cliches, you can still see the value of this statement. Too often, many of us dream up big goals--and small ones--but resolve to achieve them at some unknown point in life called "later." As in, later: when learn more money; when I'm I'm  

Contraction of I am.

Our Living Language Speakers of some scattered varieties of American English sometimes use I'm instead of I've or I have in present perfect constructions, as in

If the answer is yes, then maybe it really isn't that important to you and letting it go won't cause you much inner turmoil. But if the answer is no, resolve to get started now. "Later" isn't promised to anyone, and the next time just may be your last chance to make good on those aims.
