"Let’s say that an aging skier decides to continue enjoying the sport by giving himself more breaks or longer breaks between runs. Great idea—**but that doesn’t mean he’s getting the same experience as when he was younger and stronger**. If he used to get in 20 good runs in one day on the slopes, now he can manage only 15. In effect, **the same amount of money he spent on that day of skiing now brings him only 75 percent of the skiing enjoyment it did years earlier**."
