Most of an adult life
3,500 weeks (67 years and 1 month) sounds like a lot until you net out the parts that aren't free. Roughly a third goes to sleep; a large share of the rest to work. The weeks that are genuinely yours to spend are a fraction of the gross number — which is exactly the argument Four Thousand Weeks makes.
At 84% of an 80-year life, a count this size is the part of the grid where what you've already spent is settled and what's left is the live question.
