RE: Quality of Life as Quality of Time
What a great read... what's alarming is how your breakdown of time spent in a day is pretty typical of your ordinary workaday person.
As I see it working hard early on and getting a passive income going is the most effective way of buying time in the future.
I agree about the backward bending curve.... if we spend too long working we end up spending more just to sustain this, which is completely irrational!

I was reflecting on my average work day when I worked in the city; I had about 3 hours travel a day instead of 2. With five work days a week going into the city, there is very little time to do much else. Weekends also tend to get filled with various activities as well. I think in all, it turns out to be less than one full day a week off.
I've found the same.. and if you factor in the time it takes you to work to pay for the transport it gets worse.
Now I've (just very recently) semi-retired I really need to hit the frugality... bit of an experiment for the winter!
