When he woke up in the hospital, a nurse handed him a letter written 32 years earlier. A letter he never knew existed. What he discovered inside made him question everything he'd spent his life chasing. This is a story about time, missed opportunities, family, and the things we keep putting off until tomorrow.

If You're in Your 20's, Please Watch This." The story (Tom, his dad, Dr. Palmer, Dr. Shah, the letter) is fictional. These facts in it are real: 1. "Two hundred dollars a month, starting at twenty-five, growing at seven percent a year. By sixty-five, that's about five hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. Start at thirty-five: about two hundred and forty-four thousand." - Own calculation, standard future-value formula, monthly deposits, 7% yearly return compounded monthly: age 25 to 65 (40 years): $524,963 (paid in: $96,000) age 35 to 65 (30 years): $243,994 (paid in: $72,000) - Note: 7% is a common long-term assumption for a stock index fund, not a promise. Real returns vary year to year; inflation is not included. 2. "By the time he finished high school, he had already used up about ninety-three percent of all the time he would ever spend with his parents in person." (Tim Urban) - Tim Urban, "The Tail End", Wait But Why, December 2015: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html - Summary: https://stern.substack.com/p/2-the-tail-end-by-tim-urban - Note: this is Urban's estimate for his own life, not a study. Other summaries quote 95%. The script says "he figured out" for that reason. 3. "Scientists followed more than two thousand middle-aged adults for about eleven years. The people who walked at least seven thousand steps a day had a fifty to seventy percent lower risk of dying during that time." - Paluch AE et al., "Steps per Day and All-Cause Mortality in Middle-aged Adults in the CARDIA Study", JAMA Network Open, September 2021, 4(9):e2124516. 2,110 adults, mean age 45, mean follow-up 10.8 years. - https://hospitalpharmacyeurope.com/clinical-zones/cardiovascular-medicine/only-7000-10000-steps-day-required-among-middle-aged-adults-for-a-70-lower-all-cause-mortality-benefit/ - https://www.ajc.com/life/aging-in-atlanta/middle-age-adults-dont-have-to-take-10000-steps-for-health-benefits/WPHRTA26PNG6PAVJJAJB5OSZQ4 - Note: observational study (shows a link, not proof of cause). 7,000-9,999 steps: about 72% lower risk; 10,000+: about 55% lower; coverage rounds this to "50 to 70 percent". 4. "Seven thousand steps. That's about an hour of walking, spread over a whole day." - Rule of thumb: about 100 steps per minute at a normal walking pace, so 7,000 steps is roughly 60-70 minutes in total. Approximate.
