Everything you choose to eat, drink, think, or do is an “exchange” for chunks of your life. When people talk about “spending your life” they really are talking about SPENDING. Not only is this the fundamental premise for the 2011 Justin Timberlake “thriller,” In Time, but also a fundamental rule of existence that you must learn to embrace. For those of you new to this concept, here’s a quick cheat sheet for how much time you need to spend to redeem cool prizes from life’s Cool Prize Counter.
10,000 hours => Mastery of a skill
20,000 hours => Mastery of THREE skills (cheaper if you buy in bulk!)
30,000 hours => A Tootsie Roll (fruity or chocolate)
45,000 hours => Windup chattering teeth!
60,000 hours => Small squirt gun
65,000 hours => BIG squirt gun
80,000 hours => SUPER BIG squirt gun (parental supervision required)
100,000 hours => A lava lamp!
200,000 hours => A brand new Playstation 2!
So here’s a tip that will save you years of your life: master a skill like making Lava Lamps. You’ll earn so much time you won’t know what to do with it all! Maybe play your Playstation 2!

When you’re gonna do a comic about the Fifa World Cup?
Who cares about that stupid competition?
Good thing she isn’t a witch from Scotland, in which case he would have to ask her for a fried Mars Bar.
Huh. Twinkie or fried Mars Bar. Both!
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hours => the internet
This looks like Civilization research time
Well this cost list is just absurd. Who’s going to spend 60,000 hours on a small squirt gun when a big one is only 5,000 hours more?
You don’t have to ASK for five years off your life if you’re frying Mars bars.
oooh, I really want those chattering teeth…but I could really use a squirt gun. Why must life choices be so hard!
Woah, the movie ‘In Time’ is already 3 years old? Holy crap, I feel old.
Actually quite depressing is if look at things not in how much money they cost, but how long it takes you to earn that.
For example if I earn 5 bucks an hour and I want to buy a soda and a mars bar that sets me back an hour of my life.
