(FINANCE) a contractual obligation to buy or sell a fixed amount of a thing at a set price, at a specific time in the future.

Same as a futures contract.
SALES AGENT: I have this awesome product made in the USA I want to sell in Europe. It's cheap now, but what if the euro goes down against the dollar? I could lose a lot of money on inventory.

BROKER: No problem, just buy a future for the amount of US dollars you'll need to pay your suppliers.

SALES AGENT: You mean, a futures contract for dollars?

BROKER: Yes, a euro-pegged future for dollars. When the contract comes due, you pay the euros, they pay you the dollars, and BOOM! You're good to go. No risk.

The period of time that hasn't happened yet, that will be as different from today as today is from the past.
Person 1: It would be horrible to live 300 years ago. They didn't have cars or computers or medicine or anything, and the life expectancy was 40.

Person 2: 300 years ago, people said it would be horrible to live 600 years ago. 300 years in the future, they'll say it would be horrible to live now.
