Have sex with a woman again.

 

[boostedguy05]

yeah, those men have not been nice to you.

 

[Mook]

Good one.

 

[Kensington]

I had a crisis at 29 and bought a house...

I'm sure I'll hit another life crisis and buy some sort of car or piece of property

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Another boat.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Buy a holiday?

Wtf

 

[Mook]

Its a foreign link....likely means vacation

 

[willizm]

Yeah I just pulled down a quick list from a site to give you guys ideas because it's too easy to say a 'car' is a mid life crisis purchase to a bunch of car guys.

 

[GLADIATOR]

My midlife crisis was actually looking for a new job.

 

[Gone_2022]

Most likely some over the top car or quite a few vacations. Feel like I already had a miniature one after my dad passed. Sometimes now I worry less about the money and if we want to go on a trip just freaking do it and enjoy the experience.

Can’t take it with you when you go.

I bought the blower for the Mustang as a 40th birthday treat. I don't know it was really a mid-life crisis.

This is exactly how I live/approach life.
I tell all my cheap fucking friends that are afraid to spend a extra dollar. When you die you cant take it with. Might as well enjoy it while your here.

Example: Guy I know is a union electrician, works every Saturday of the year and any other overtime he can get. Single, no kids and owns a nice home but not an over the top home. Drives a Durango thats paid off. He is the CHEAPEST MFer I know and we all let him know how cheap he is. Went on vacation with us 1 year, and wont do it again because not only did the vacation cost him like $1400, but he lost XXXX amount of dollars not working. This same guy will brag about how much money he has in the bank, but imo he is a miserable fuck.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Thinking about an MG42 full auto.

ED:Fuck I'm probably living it right now if you really want to go there.

I literally know the EXACT same person except he is a union sheet metal worker. One of my best buds. Dude brags about having hundreds of thousands in his retirement accounts, on top of the pension he will get...but he is miserable as fuck because he never spends a penny on himself now. He honestly called me up from the car dealer for advice and made me talk him into financing the F150 he bought...because it was 0% interest. He went in with a $40k cashiers check, thought taking a loan out for something was ridiculous. This was last year when his 2002 Chevy 2500 finally rusted a hole through the floor so he decided to pony up for a new truck.

He calls the rest of us crazy when we buy cool shit. I tell him he can enjoy his solid gold casket when he dies.

 

[Flyn]

Florida.

21. Whores/mistress/love doll

Although, I guess 15 might handle the love doll portion...

I feel like people like this have to be absolutely terrified when retirement time comes, like they're going to worry themselves to death when it comes to finances or just work until they die.

Shitty way to live

Either of them want to adopt me?

Define “mid-life”?

I’m 45 with a 20 month old son and I have 9 years to sell my house and get the blazing hell out of Elgin school district (and U46). My midlife crisis will be trying to figure out how to work as much as possible so I can retire a few days before my funeral instead of a few days after.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

When you say those two guys are miserable, how do you know that? It may seem miserable to you, but to them, they may be perfectly happy because they don't have to worry about life once they are unable to work anymore.

I WISH I had this miserableness... I'll be the guy working till he's in the grave.

 

[boostedguy05]

That's because you have 5 houses and 20 cars to maintain

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

That's because you have 5 houses and 20 GM cars to maintain

Fixed

 

[Marko]

Have sex with a woman again.

Get a hooker bro.


Lol.



And as far as a midlife crisis. Yes. Right now I am having one. I’ve done or have most of that stuff on the list. Lol.


And I totally agree with you guys about spending money now on stuff we can enjoy.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

No, It's because I have a Wife and kids.
