This entry is part 30 of 36 in the series Deep Thoughts

How clear and obvious is this. If one lives to be 80 years old, you would have 29,900 (give or take a few for leap years). It sounds like a lot, but many cars sell for more dollars than the days you have in your life. Use them carefully, or they are fleeting and cannot be recovered. There’s no “do-over.”
