I'd say we are at a 30yr high right now.

Were there more people playing in the early 90s? At the height of TAF and TZ?

What about the 70s before pac-man fever wrecked pinball? Games were more available back then. Instead of 1-2 arcades with 40-50 games there was a pinball machine in half the diners, bars, drug stores, grocery stores, etc. And more smaller arcades.

And what about the 30s when there was a pinball machine in every bar, which was basically used for gambling. They made massive amounts of games in the 30s. Way more than today.

I keep saying things like once I retire I'll do XYZ. But I could be doing XYZ now, just less of it. So what's the odds of doing XYZ in retirement if I am not doing it now?

Will still feel like I don't have time for XYZ because I'll be doing more of the current activities I already do in my free time?

And I am not talking about things that can't be done while working like driving cross country for a month. But things like going to the movies or playing golf or going to the gym. If you aren't already doing those things while working in your spare time.. what makes you think you will do them when you have more spare time?
