Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StraightShootinGal: Making a career change, seeking out a hobby/sport/etc., pursuing higher education/certifications/etc., volunteering - all that can help with boredom in a "healthy" way. Nah - fuck all that  I took up downhill MTBiking at 38, paddle boarding, kayaking, farming, kids sports-assisting coaching……Sorry, but going from 150MPH to 50MPH in 1.5 seconds every 45 seconds around a race track, for 20-40 minutes at a time is so adrenaline exhausting, after 1 or 2 days a month of it, you don’t really need anything else. Highly recommended. I did the career thing from 30yrs old to 40yrs old…and own the business now. Volunteered along the way, still donate, did a charity auction last month - another charity next weekend. It’s all so tiresome. I need adrenaline. The possibility of destroying a $150K car into a wall and killing myself, that scratches that itch very well.  Oh, I do intend on making my business more efficient and more profitable so that I can pay my employees more than anyone else in my industry. They’re already up in the 80th percentile compared to our competitors, but it’s in the works right now to increase. |

I'll bet this almost 50-year-old can out-work the average 40-year-old. |

Corvette. While you're young enough to enjoy it. I owned 2 before I was 40.
There are better cars for the track. Other choices for the serious gear heads. Porsche for the snobs. But nothing else draws women from 20-50 than a fit healthy young man driving a Corvette. Brought out the competitive spirit in my wife too.  Of course at 40 I bought a new house, sent my daughter off to college, and took a job with 60+ hour weeks. So don't do that. Get a nice 5 year old Corvette and go have some fun. |

I think I went through about 5 midlife crises. I’m single so I didn’t have a wife to pull the reins. My favorite one was back in 2017 when I bought my Harley, I love that bike. My midlife crises are over but I still have the Harley and still riding it daily.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hatidua: Originally Posted By Toasted: Porsche 911 There is no substitute Those are fun in your 20's, any older and it looks like the creepy old guy with a young "wife". You might be thinking of mustangs or camaros, etc. Relatively few people in their 20 can realistically afford a 911. Sure, there are some here and there, but the vast majority of 911 owners are significantly older. I assume the target demographic for Porsche is people in the mid-30s and up. |

I'll be 41 this year and am not sure I need one. My wife is three years older and at about 40 in the span of a year we bought quads, a boat and she went on keto and lost 40 pounds.
I think my wife's midlife crises was awesome. About a hear ago I felt like I was going to snap. But that's because I felt like I was trapped in a shitty job. I've been unemployed for a month and doing my side hustle part time. Feeling great but will get back to work soon even though I don't really have too. Hopefully with a job where I'm in different places with different people on a regular basis. I don't like getting close to people at work at a single work site so I don't get the benefits of playing that game. |

Nah, I stay fit, active, shoot a lot, build guns, work and ranch, land development (play on heavy equipment), hunt and fish all I can, enjoy good whiskey, eat lots of good beef, and enjoy time with my wife. I've been too busy trying to wear out my body to notice my mid-life crisis.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StraightShootinGal: 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. Where could he get a better life coach than GD? Surely, there is no better collection of quality wisdom and advice to shape his future. |

It's funny that they call it mid life crisis when it's usually a few things.
Kids are finally out of the house Kids are out of college Child support payments are finished Divorce So now the guy all of a sudden has extra "income" to purchase something that he couldn't "afford" for 20 years. |
