Another vote for motorcycles. Just getting back into them during my later life crisis. (64)
First round at 37 was great times. Made some really good friends in the process and had many epic trips with them. Got drawn away about age 52 due to life circumstances. Hopefully round 2 is even better. Just purchased a Super Tenere near Atlanta. Closed the deal about 10 o'clock busted it down to Florida to get the license,title and registration. Then headed back towards Indiana. 950 miles in two days when I haven't been on a bike in 10 years. Second vote would be snow skiing. Great exercise in beautiful environments. |

Mazda Miata, manual transmission.
But are you secure enough in your masculinity to drive one? (FWIW, I bought a horse.) |

Harley, 65 Chevelle and a stripper were my choices. Sold those and bought 80 acres of peace and quiet. Well, except for the stripper. My turn was just over

If everything is one the table, shock your family and friends and join a trad Catholic (SSPX) or Orthodox (ROCOR or Antiochian) parish.

I was just getting tired of having to choose between a 950# ultra touring Harley that's getting harder to push around, and a Vrod that I had taken to it's limits and wanted more. One should have a bike that has at least a little more lean than the rider dares, and a few more horses than his experience warrants.

For my mid-life 40th I bought a track car (2020 Mustang GT) and built it up - started doing circuit track for fun….don’t buy a Mustang.
Just go straight to a Porsche - I moved to the 911. Life is really good now. Oh, and try to hit the gym 5-6 days a week. I did that too, so now I’m incredibly fit for a 43yr old, and pretty happy |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JLPettimoreIII: hookers y blow, my dude. hookers y blow. @DenverDan @RTX Mi amigo here has a solid suggestion. Also, I will add learn how to fly airplanes. I took a discovery flight for my 50th. Aaaaaaaannd just like that I found an amazing way to burn up any disposable income I had. As mentioned motorcycles could be fun as well. I’ve ridden the majority of my life so I took a different route. Younger blonde semi trashy broads are good as well. I’ve dated a few recently. Good times just don’t be dumb about it. They’re short term entertainment. Go to Vegas and spend money like you don’t give AF. Just don’t get arrested. Go to Thailand. I haven’t done this yet but I’m planning on it next year. Try martial arts. I’m a BJJ guy so I recommend that. You’ll get in shape and learn how to choke people with your legs. That’s pretty fucken cool isn’t it? Come to Colorado next winter. I’ll teach you how to snowboard. This one ties into my earlier suggestion about younger trashy blonde broads. Quit your job and go live in the Florida Keys for a year. I did this a few years ago. It was awesome. Book a trip to a city you’ve never been to with no plans aside from the flight to/from. I’m doing this in the fall. Probably Boston. This is a gun forum. Buy a ridiculous gun you have no use for. I’m currently on the hunt for a S&W 500. I’m a small dude that should be fun. I’m full of solid life advice.

I decided to torture myself and try and complete an Iron Man for my midlife crysis. So far I've torn a rotator cuff swimming, beat the fuck out of my knees, and had a couple bike wrecks. On the positive note, my VO2 max has doubled, I'm actually in as good of shape today as I was in the Army 20y ago, am sitting at 12% body fat, and my wife is tired of women hitting on me. Once this is over though and I have my fucking Iron Man medal I'm buying a fucking stupid car like every other man going through their mid life crisis. |

And drugs are no different than your dimentia so why try to save for when you are so old you can’t enjoy. What do I need $2’mil at 90? 85? None of my grandparents had any expenses or needs after 80 years old. Spouses dead, no travel, couldn’t drive. They needed shoes and medicine. |
