Use of
- Enter the current international age of your parents.Based on the number of years of age you have, there is a lower line of time you can sleep together.
- If you choose your gender, the average Korean life expectancy will automatically apply.
- If you count the number of times you meet in a year and the time you spend together at a time, you get the remaining number of meetings and total time.
The calculation principle.
The calculation itself is a simple multiplication. Number of meetings × 1 year.This is the number of meetings left, and if you multiply the time you spend together here once, you will get the total time you will spend together in the future. If you divide that time by 24, it will be exchanged for "several days".
For example, if your mother is 68 years old, and your life expectancy is 86 years old, the remaining time is 18 years. The 72ndIf you spend 8 hours together at a time, you will spend 576 hours a day. 24 daysIt means that I will spend all my time with my mother together for a month.
The most important thing in this calculation is the final line, “If we meet twice more in a year.” In the example above, if we increase the number of meetings to six times, the remaining meetings will increase from 72 to 108 times, and 36 times.
Life expectancy is based on the Korean average (about 86 years of age for women and 80 years of age for men). Life expectancy is a statistical average and the personal cost is very high. This calculator is not a tool for predicting the future, but a tool for converting obscure senses into numbers.
This calculation is a reference using statistical averages and does not predict the lifespan of a particular individual. Please use it as a means to reflect on the frequency of meetings rather than exaggerate the outcome.
Knowing good information.
A person feels relaxed when he thinks of the rest of the time in open units, and desperate when he thinks of the number of times. “18 years ahead” and “72 years ahead” sound very different at exactly the same time. In psychology, this is called a unit effect, a phenomenon in which feelings vary depending on whether the same amount is expressed in what units.
As important as the number of meetings is the density of meetings. Most people know what is more memorable than eight hours of meeting on a holiday day than just TV, and what is more memorable than two hours of walking and talking together. If you’re in a situation where it’s difficult to increase the number of meetings, it’s better to decide what to do together on a single visit.
Telephone calls or video calls can also be used as meetings. Physical visits are only four times a year, but if you add one call a week, the number of contacts will be 56 times a year.
Frequently asked questions.
What is expectation criterion?
Basic life expectancy is based on average Korean life expectancy, for men about 80 years, for women about 86 years, but life expectancy is only a statistical average and varies greatly depending on the individual’s health status, lifestyle, and medical environment. You can change life expectancy directly in the calculator, so you can adjust it to your parents’ circumstances.
Is this estimate accurate?
No. This calculation is not a prediction, but a tool for changing the perspective. It only turns the blurring feeling of “there’s still a lot of time” into a specific number of times. The actual lifetime is unknown to anyone, and we encourage you to use this number only as an excuse to meet more.
How do we calculate if we live together?
If you live together, the quality of the time you spend together is more important than the number of meetings. If you calculate properly, you can calculate the number of times you actually talk to each day. For example, if you talk for 30 minutes every evening, you enter 365 times a year, but if you calculate the results in time, you see another perspective.
What if you are both parents?
If you have different years, calculate each separately. If you usually calculate on the basis of more years, you can see the bottom line of the time you can spend together. If the year difference is not large, you can calculate it as an average once and there is no big difference.
Results are less than thought.
Most of them do. It is common to meet four or five times a year, but if you multiply the remaining 20 years, it will not be 100 times. The important thing is not to be disappointed by this number, but to change it to increase the number of meetings.
