Breakeven

Ever wondered why almost all projection sheets always predict company breakeven in three or five years (odd numbers ;) )?

Whats so great about the numbers 3 and 5 that have caught the collective fancy of investors and entrepreneurs alike? Any ideas on its origins? Does it have anything to do with the average lifetime/ working-life of a person?
