When I was growing up my father told me more than once that "if
you do that, son, you aren't going to like the consequences."  
Generally, those words were spoken to me just before I wanted to
do something to fill an immediate desire - such as spending all
my yard mowing money to buy my first car.  It was cool, it
looked fast and it was the first car I saw on the lot.  Nothing
else mattered - that car was mine and I have to have it right
then and there.  I was too young to know it then but I had
fallen victim to the "immediacy trap."  What my father was
trying to tell me, and of course I didn't listen, was what he
already knew - the car was a total piece of crap.  I didn't like
the consequences.  Had I been patient, done my research, and
shopped around for the right opportunity - I would have been
much better off.  Now, I will pass that experience down to my
son - who, most likely, won't listen to me either.  That is the
bond between father and son.  Oil prices  Experience has always
