    Yeah - and if you think about it, 1 hr/day is about 3 complete years by the time you are seventy. But...if you take out the time you sleep (and the hour a day exercising) it gets more complex. 7 years = 7 * 365.25 * (24 - 8 - 1) = 38,351.25 hours. But...to get that extra time, you have spent 25,267.5 hours in the gym. And it will feel like twice that. Plus there is the time travelling to and from the gym, putting on the silly clothes, taking a shower (again), dressing normally again... You are statistically better off dying earlier and using the time you could have spent exercising enjoying yourself. And you get less exposure to Radio 1 :laugh:

          Does that include grinding with Crusader in Diablo 3 for hours per day (ok ok, "for hours" sounds so "hardcore" max for one hour before and after work). You know, killing hordes of evil zombies and demons isn't an easy task :D

          In my case, this would be feverishly browsing imgur.com. I doubt it counts, though.

                                          Wow, if I eat more fatty foods, stop all my exercise, I lose 6 years, gives me 23 left. I have to work for about 8 more, and I have enough money to last 10 after that. Maybe if I drop the veggies... Thanks... Best retirement planning tool EVER! :-)
