Am I crazy to want more?

Get up early, climb a mountain (doesn't need to be a big one) and just watch the sun rise.

Life doesn't get much better than that and it sure puts all those material things into perspective.

That biological clock is an evil one.

Better face it now than 5 years down the line OP!

Kids at ~50 years of age! Taking my niece & nephew out usually ends up in me being absolutely knackered at the end of the day, so dealing with that 24/7 in two decades time would be a nightmare!

Did something similar in the Lake District on my own, was really serene.

If you are in your fifties, and your wife is younger than me, I'd expect her to be diddling some young stallion on the side, or if not, to start when she hits her 30s and you your 60s...

You are missing a graphics card in ur sig

Why not pick up your guitar again? Take it on a round the world trip, busk where you stay and give the proceeds to local charities.
Doesn't have to be risky, unless you're in Bogota, Coumbia, Somalia et al.

Can i ask if your mortgage is paid due to your wife's death? (insurance pay out)
I ask because if not and you earned the money yourself to kill your mortgage, then maybe you can start something completely afresh knowing that you have the smarts to earn the money again whatever you do.
If not and it was insurtance pay out, then you have to look differently.

The more you have the more you want its natural, expand your business or start a side line, get stuck in.

Climb up mountains, on fast women and into fast cars. Your life will change forever.

I think this sort of thing really is more a realization that life is somewhat meaningless, stuff happens and things change, if you're bored because you achieved everything so far then your mind is more free to wander into thoughts about life and existence, asking if there's more to life should lead you to conclude that no there really isn't, you're just another human living on earth for a short time and any meaning is created, the best thing you can do is try to entertain yourself and accept that being content is enough, you can always do something wacky if you like but it will be short lived and just as meaningless.

Oh yeah you have to do it on your own and just before sunrise. I've done it in England, Scotland, Wales and the Himalayas.

Life doesn't get better than watching a new day form from the top of a mountain.

No amount of owning a 50" plasma TV or whatever can replace that. The only thing that trumps it is holding your newborn baby in your arm. How about trying that one Mr OP? You'll re-evaluate your priorities.

Do MMA tbh.

You need world of warcraft

Also to choose a wife who's main attribution is not her age! The fact that was the first and only thing you mentioned about her is pretty pathetic.

It did make me wonder as well.

I always think 'hmmm' when I hear about somebody who is 20something being married to an over 50. I don't really understand it - when she's 45 and still in the middle of life he's going to be what, 75?! Great! I bet that'll be a laugh.

For starters, get a better computer.

Second, take up a strict exercise routine? that'll preoccupy your spare time

I owned two houses before I even got married! I've never had a mortgage as I'd saved and paid cash from my earnings!
No insurance policies so no payouts from there!

You saved up and paid cash for houses?

Where did you live whilst saving, in a box?

There were rented properties in those days too!
