A billion seconds feels like a lot. It’s about 31 years.
I’m in the middle of my 53rd year, which means that I might no longer be a time billionaire.
Let’s assume that my healthspan is 70 (aggressive, but I work on it daily), and my lifespan is 80 (statistically, also a little aggressive). That gives me half a billion seconds of healthy living left and 0.85 billion seconds of total life.
One way to look at this is, “Damn, I used to be a multi-time billionaire and now I’m not. What have I done so far?”
Another is, “Damn, half a billion seconds is a lot of time left. What can I do?”
Still, a third is, “Damn, I’m grateful for the time I’ve had and the time left to come.”
All three are valid.
Either you are or were a time billionaire. The time is yours.
