2.3 billion seconds, give or take a few

From an interview with Will Wright:
One of the biggest things that I wanted to show was how, basically, the real resource everybody has in life is time. You can convert time to a lot of other things -- you can convert it into money, objects, and friends -- but how you choose to spend your time is how you're playing the game of life. That's the one thing that you don't get more of, really. So, time management was a big thing I wanted to at least make people more aware of. It's not so much preaching, "Here's how you should spend your time." It's just interesting when you sit back and think about how you choose to spend every minute of your day.
Thoughtful words from the creator of the Sims.
