Re: How much free time do you have?
#2I'm 46 with a 3 year old I spend a lot of time with (21-24 hours a week). I love that time but it's a little depressing to only have 5 years of free time left.
Pretty eye opening to see it as a total number.

If you enjoy the time with your kid, you're probably okay :)

This was my first thought. The calculator is fine, but not all free time is equal. If the kid's having a not-great night, and is _finally_ asleep by 10pm, I theoretically have an hour before I have to go to sleep, but I'm tired and realistically I'm just going to click around for awhile before going to bed. Ditto if I'm up at 6:30; I theoretically have 30 minutes, but who knows when the kid'll wake up. Maybe I have 30 minutes, maybe I have zero.
It's as if free time had a half-life.

#5Really depressing. Between work, long commute, gym, and part-time grad school, I have 18 free hours a week out of 168. Makes me wonder what the hell I am doing when I have other hobbies that I would love to be pursuing. Most of the time I simply don't have the mental energy to pursue much of anything in my 18 free hours. Sometimes I just need to turn my brain off.
I find myself to lash out in weird ways when I am particularly stressed. For example, I am much more likely to spend a lot of money on something that seems like it has the potential to make me happy or book a vacation spontaneously. It seems like keeping my head on straight requires so much willpower that I can't save any for other aspects of my life. Who knew life was hard?

#6~70 hours free time/week or 10 per day, wohooo...freelancing all the way baby!

#7I think commute time should count two or three times. I sit in the car for 80 minutes a day and I am totally shot in the evening so I get nothing done even if I have time. . On the days I work from home I work the same amount. After work I relax for half an hour and can do things after. Commuting is a real soul killer in my view.

#8Well I know the author of this certainly has more free time than me. 7 hours a week at the gym? What and incredibly laid back lifestyle.

>7 hours a week at the gym? What and incredibly laid back lifestyle.
What a strange thing to pick at - is there a joke I'm missing? And it's not strictly the gym, it's 'gym/fitness'.
