So, what would you do with your mid-life crisis?

[superjohn]

OK, so I'm at the mid point. I have no credit card debt. No dependents. A decent income in a relatively safe, stable job with a good amount of savings.

I think all of this is adding up to wanting to do something just for me. I've been looking at used Ferrari 308s and new Corvettes. I've also thought about finally doing all the cool hme remodeling I've been thinking of like the outdoor kitchen, indoor kitchen remodel, and hardwood floors. I've also thought about taking a nice relaxing vacation to some far off land.

The downside is, I work a lot and don't have time to go on vacation. I really don't need a new car, and enjoy the one I have now. I have 2 motorcycles, so another one isn't really prudent (unless an 888 SPO lands in my lap) and I don't really entertain, nor am I planning on moving so the home improvements seem like sort of a waste. I suppose some Spitzer class professional mammary model would be an option, but it doesn't seem worth it.

So, I was thinking, what's the most irresponsible source of information about an equally irresponsible decision? Hey I know!!!! A DMF Poll!!!

In this market, even with a decent amount in savings and a stable job, I'd save unless a REALLY good deal comes along...

New option:

If you must spend money, give it away. I could use a couple grand to support my lack of will power to finish my thesis.  But I'm sure there are other more responsible places you could put your money to good use and still get a good feeling out of it.

you know, there's a procedure that's cheaper than a breast job that simply pulls the tendons tight again, so you get the 20 year old naturals you fell in love with... 

And home improvements are best spent by staying in said home and enjoying them aren't they?  An outdoor kitchen?!  If you build that, you gotta use it!!  Just make sure the patio is appropriate for parking that 888SPO on...

invest in the house

Take a motorcycle tour around EUR or NZ. 

Or go to South Africa and ride in a Russian MIG, take a safari and take a dip in a great white cage!

You're doing it all wrong.



Mid-life crisis is when you do something poorly thought out, irresponsible, and above all, epically stupid.



The fact that you're trying to plan it out and do it in some sort of sane manner utterly ruins it.





Take a high limit credit card or two. Go to Vegas. Get as drunk as you can, then go shopping.



In the morning, tell us what you bought-if it was an exotic sports car, bike, or hooker.

I've been doing it all wrong.  This sounds like my so called life so far ..... as we know it. I didn't know to wait until late in the game to do the stupid,dangerous poorly thought out stuff.
