How about their ability to juggle multiple things at once without sacrificing anything. You know, something like...
I'm a father of 4 young kids, work 60 hours a week while working towards my PhD. I volunteer at the local animal shelter and taking lessons to learn Mandarin on the side....and I still have time to run 120 miles per week and sleep 10 hours a night. And I don't even have it that bad.
Absolutely. And they often like to type out their daily routine, hour by hour:
4:30 AM - Wake up. Out the door by 4:31 for morning 12 miler.
5:35 AM - Finish run, shower, get dressed, bathe/feed kids, eat breakfast.
5:40 AM - Drive to work.
Etc.
Another: how little they spend per month on food. They'll frequently type out their daily meal routine also, citing the price of each of the ingredients.
