I've done about 475 hours in just under 5 years; it'll be 500 by the end of this year. Split is approx 265 rotary, 200 f/w, 10 flexwing microlight. Although I have a CPL(H) and I'm hour building to do an instructors course, I consider it all "just-for-fun". The only reason for going commercial was to get paid to fly helicopters, as long term I can't afford it otherwise. I'll never recoup all that I've spent on flying; I started too late in life, and that's not even my aim. So I consider it all "fun" flying. Now when I actually get paid - OK, that might be different.
