Leisure Time Changes with Age

Strolling in the park with a four-legged friend, participating in a yoga class or training for a 5K: everyone uses their free time differently.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on an average day, nearly everyone aged 15 and over (96 percent) engages in some sort of leisure activity. Socializing and communicating, such as visiting with friends or attending or hosting social events, accounted for an average of 39 minutes per day.

And no surprise, people spent about twice as much time socializing on weekend days (58 minutes) as on weekdays (31 minutes). The study found time spent on leisure peaks at age 15 to 19 years (5.60 hours) and then trails off until age 65.

People age 35 to 44 years only enjoy 3.95 hours per day, but then it steadily increases to 4.55 hours (45- to 54-year olds) and 5.42 hours (55- to 64-year olds).

Employed adults living in households with no children under age 18 engaged in leisure and sports activities for 4.5 hours per day, 1.2 hours more than employed adults living with a child under age 6.

“People are busy and enjoying life should be part of that time. They don’t want to take extra time in their day to think about insurance, and we get that. That’s why we’re here to help, when, where and how they need us,” said Jennifer Folmar, Hrenko Insurance Agency Inc.

“We get to know our customers so we can help them choose the coverages they need – not what they don’t,” said Folmar.

Folmar says a simple step is including features like 100 percent Guaranteed Replacement Cost* — only available with ErieSecure Home from Erie Insurance.

She said it guarantees that if your home is damaged by wind, fire or storm, ERIE will repair it so that your home is not just restored to the same condition it was before the damage, but made better with the new materials.

“When you trust your home is secure, you can enjoy more of the things that make you feel good,” said Folmar. “It’s peace of mind knowing your home is protected while you’re out enjoying your valuable free time with friends and family.”
