I was just on the "How many Starpoints do you have?" thread and after a few pages I was done - the measurement exercise just petered out. But I did wonder - what are these folks saving their points for (another interesting thread topic, but not this one)? As I contemplated my own balance, I wondered why, as someone who stays with Starwood 100+ nights per year, it was so low. I realized it is because I strive for balance - work hard, play hard. I'm lying of course, the only consolation Mrs. PowerM gets is the ability to spend my points at her discretion - so here's the spending sheet:

I was a bit surprised at the answer: The Grand Total, including point values from credits stays, is 328,000: 147,600 '09, 12 credits (184K), 96,400 '10
