This is used only when speaking, because if you are writing it, you use actual quote marks.
"I'm not making sacrifices for some "future", all right?"
It means that you are using the word "future" with irony or sarcasm, or you are referring to something that someone else said. You are quoting them, so you set it off with quotes. But when you are speaking, no one can see the quote marks, so you say "quote unquote". It really should be "quote future unquote", but "quote unquote" is common.
