Laurel's Life Theories Part 5

60/40 Theory

At different stages in life you should always have a balance of 60/40. At a young age, the balance is 60% work (school etc.), and 40% fun. This continues through adolescence, young adulthood, until the age of 40. By the age of 40, a person is well established in their career, they have worked hard to get there, now they should enjoy their success, and the ratio switches to 40% work, 60% fun (stop working overtime, concentrate on family, travel). At the age of 60, the ratio switches again to 60% work 40% fun. Yes you are retired, but now you have to concentrate more on health, and finding ways to make your life purposeful. . The ratios also apply to the type of food consumption during those years (60% healthy 40% decliciousness).
