Did you have a mid-life crisis?

[Silver]

What was it like?

I was just wondering if I'm going to have one and how it's going to manifest.

Around 2003 or 2004 I bought an Eclipse. I was in my mid 40s and had been driving 'grocery go-getters' that would hold multiple kids for years. I only kept it a year but still get ribbed about it by my kids.

Other than that the only other thing would be my tattoos that I started getting when I was in my 30s - got my last in in my early 50s.

Yes, and, I "got religion", the worst mistake that I ever made in my life.

Midlife crisis is when you realize you are at the beginning of another half life wasted.

I'm 52 and still waiting for mine.

Never had a midlife crisis.

I'm only 67, so still waiting (feeling about 18 between the ears though)

When I was 40 I got involved with a woman who was 15 years younger than me and the sex was great; but she blew up my life, almost hooked me on drugs, and I kept coming back to her, not quitting her for good until three years later, in so much debt that I turned to the United Way to help me consolidate. Looking back, I wish I'd bought a convertible red sports car instead.

I'm not really sure. I have a hard time trying to distinguish my mid-life crisis from my young-adult crisis and senior crisis.

Was talking to an aunt of mine who is 71 - six years older than me a while back and she referred to something going on with her as being what happens to you in middle age. I said, "Damn, how long do you plan on living?" Her husband said basically the same thing in the background. She told both of us where we could stick it. LOL
