I'm becoming the same myself. Just mix a little Life + 50 with rule of the shorter term and I'm set.

I don't give a crap about Disney and its precious output so they don't have anything to worry about from me and given they seem to be the only real reason Life + 70 came into being, I don't feel particularly naughty.
