I'm about to split with the Wife-unit.
I can work remotely pretty much as much as I want. I'm thinking maybe once the divorce is over, I take my money and move to a RV park in the Keys and just see what happens. I'll work during the day, do gummies at night and take in the views, sights and skanks of the Keys. |

For the vast majority of people you can either enjoy your 30's and 40's or retire early and enjoy your 50's and beyond free from having to worry about punching a clock every day. |

Some version of a BMW M6 after 2014. Convertible, coupe or 4-door.
560 hp stock, and very easy to get to 750hp and sub 4 second times 0-60. Thrilling to drive, and when the repairs bills come in, you won't be able to do anything else stupid.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By macro: I never had the whole 'red corvette 'mid life crisis. I just stopped caring about a lot of ahit used to drive me nuts. If you need to 'get'something to scratch the itch, go for it. We only live once. This. I’ve got a couple toys but, mostly, I don’t give a fuck. It’s liberating. Don’t like the company nit-noi procedures? Don’t care. I won’t crash your airplane but I probably won’t recite the call outs (created by guys who mostly don’t fly the line) chapter and verse because they don’t contribute to safety, just placating the lawyers. I don’t give a fuck. |

Therapy....
Cuz if you're having a crisis, you obviously need therapy or better yet, a life coach. I believe that as we age, we just add more/new chapters to our "book" of life - where if you are going into a crisis at certain points (i.e. empty nester, retirement), then you need guidance, not to succumb to crisis mode. |
