I would argue that you can earn lifetime with a healthy life style. I remember to have read a study that measured the average difference between healthy and unhealthy life styles with 14 years.

If you spend 1 day a week more for a healthy lifestyle (exercise, self cooking, enough sleep, little stress, enough recreation time) for 40 years you have earned ~9 years life time.

And I would argue that those 40 years are more enjoyable.

You make a great point. Health should be the topmost priority and I need to get better at it.

However to my original point - you can lose fitness (within reasonable limits) and then gain it back and not notice a difference later on. However time lost is lost forever.

Yes you can have a life style debt. But do not overload it or forget to pay it back.
