Created in partnership with Deutsch LA, this hilarious NerdWallet TVC features a rancorous bunch of remorseful oldsters bemoaning their bad decisions in a witty song, “now you still work at a 103, and your boss hasn’t yet hit puberty!” 

Titled Don’t Make Future You Hate You, the musical theatre-style spot was brilliantly directed by Jim Jenkins, through O Positive, and transports us to 2074, when millennials and gen Zers will make up the elderly population. 

The ensemble cast, which includes Jury Duty’s Susan Berger and Community’s Patricia Belcher, bitterly share their many financial regrets. One couple think of holidays they now can't afford – "all the places we'll never go" – rues an old fella, while his wife miserably peruses a photo album "here isn’t us in Mexico!”
