What do you think the average person works in a life time? how much free time do they have, over time spent working. [/quote] http://www.whydowork.com/forums/how-many-hours-will-you-work-your-lifetime-t31203.html I've been thinking recently about how short life is and, on average, how much of it we spend working. I decided to do some calculations and see exactly how our time is used. If we consider that an average working week is 40 hours then that equates to 1,960 hours per year once annual holidays are deducted. That's 22.4% of our lives, not including any overtime that we may be required to complete. I took it a step further because I was intrigued how many hours that we spend working in an average lifetime. This is where things really add up. Allowing for school and tertiary education, let's assume that the average person begins their working life at age 21 and retires at 65. That's a career that spans 44 years. If we use the same 40-hour working week we arrive at a figure of 91,250 hours! That's a huge amount of time and accordingly it's a huge proportion of our lives that is consumed in this way. The average human life expectancy in developed countries is 78 years, which means that we sleep for about 205, 000 hours. All our other chores and tasks have to be done in the remaining time which means that there's often very little time left for relaxation and leisure. I could go on quoting facts and figures but I'm sure you understand the point. It all begs the obvious questions: "are we happy with this?" and "does it really need to be this way?" [/quote] God actually warns everyone against the "person" who makes you work all the time - who keeps you so busy "so that you'll have no time for God". It was the Pharaoh, just prior to the Exodus to the Promised Land. [/quote]

What will the statists say?? Probably yes but you have to pay a tax, otherwise you're a criminal!

Your right to resell your own stuff is in peril
It could become illegal to resell your iPhone 4, car or family antiques
Tucked into the U.S. Supreme Court’s busy agenda this fall is a little-known case that could upend your ability to resell everything from your grandmother’s antique furniture to your iPhone 4.
