your thoughts on the midlife crisis

[moon man]

i think unless your a robot or not much to lose (harsh statement maybe ?) this happens as you naturally adapt to the different stages in your life

Spotting a midlife crisis is easy - it's when you get a belly and buy a porsche.

I've got a 6 pack and a Skoda. I'm miles off then despite being in my 40s

My kids keep me feeling young to be honest. I'm focusing my time and effort on them. Keeps life exciting.

You’ve already had yours when you had the 350z

I never had one either, and I'm 60.

Will be hitting 60 next, so working on a 3/4 life crisis.

Its just a made up thing, getting a load a tattoos and buying a motor bike is just plain foolish. They can call it what they like

Lots of cats - Check
Traveling a lot, especially cruises - Check
Fast car/motorbike - I don't even have a license
Still DJing/making music - Check
Putting more effort into health & fitness - Check
Enjoying chilling at home with the wife - Check

Early 40s, and I think I will be skipping the mid-life crisis as I am already playing a game of flipping between 20s fun and being retired

I think I was approaching one but then had a second child and that soon changed. I think kids are an important part of life. I am hoping for plenty of grand children to look after when I get older.

Retiring while not something to yearn for, live a little first, is a second teen /twenties without the angst. I can grow my hair, wear what I like, do mostly what I like or nothing at all. Revisit old vinyl. Less driving more cycling. Go places. Don't stress about the news.
So maybe the midlife crisis has translated to late fifties and early sixties just before you give up the day job for a well earned rest.

Wow - early bloomer! Or should I say, early boomer?

I turned 40 last December. Spent my birthday relaxing on the beach in Morocco, thinking about the last 40 years. It put a smile on my face as I am fit and healthy because I didn't smoke or drink my younger years away. Something too many take for granted.

Midlife crisis....nah. More like First World problems.
