I don't know if that's how free time works once you have kids. "Parental duties" takes the free time. You get some time when the kids sleep.

I know it's not intentional, but when I scrolled down and saw "parental duties" at the bottom of the list I laughed and said to myself "that's not how this works!". Move that one to the top, above sleep even, when the kids are young.
Feature request for the calculator: if you say you have kids, it asks you what time they are in bed and asleep by and what time you try to go to bed: this window of time is now your chores/maintain relationship with spouse/gym/relax/hobbies/whatever time.

#14I tried to be realistic but it comes out as -7.5. I must be lying about sleep.

#15I'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.
I put 40 for a 2 year old. About 3-4 hours after work each day and full days on weekends.

#16Well 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.
I'd say an average of 30 minutes/day of gym/fitness is the bare minimum, but even double that can be very beneficial in many respects. You should find the time

In addition your own sleep tend to decrease as you "reclaim" some of that play time you're missing for yourself.

Yep. It's hard to resist. I have 12 kids. I sure want time for random stuff... and then I realize the Sun is rising and I haven't slept.
That's with a 40-hour work week, a 3-minute commute, and none of that gym/fitness time.

#1979 as the average life span? Is that worldwide? I fully expect to make it to 90.

#20Working remote at a company with good culture, 0 commute, no children, and minimal housing upkeep. At 32yo I have never had more free time in my life.
I spend very significant amounts of time in the gym (which I love), and in the outdoors. Rarely bored. I sometimes dream of having the 40 hours I work in a week free too.
