Paying extra so future-you suffers less than present-you would've.

means A quality or circumstance that makes something easier, handier, or less effortful to use or do.

from From Latin convenire, 'to come together, agree, suit' (com- 'together' + venire 'to come'). Something convenient literally 'suits' or 'fits' you — it comes together with your needs. The English word arrived via Old French in the sense of 'fitting, proper,' and only later softened into our modern sense of ease and handiness, with 'convenience store' and 'convenience food' as its 20th-century descendants.
