  4. I think you have to ask whether you're actually having a mid-life crisis or not. Contrary to the traditional image of a middle-aged man in a Porsche, a mid-life crisis is not just about going out and making daft or illogical purchases (although they can be symptoms of this). A mid-life crisis is often set off when events or circumstances cause you to reflect, review or re-evaluate your life.

    You see, I told you I was being serious.

    My missus had hers at 47. She decided to take up smoking roll-ups, drink at least 1/2 a bottle of spirits in one hit at 6pm every day, shout at everyone, play loud music and bugger off with an Elvis impersonator. I suspect she hit the menopause and went doolally as we never argued and got on just fine beforehand.

    Buying a bus just doesn't cut it ,you lightweight pretenders... ;D
     
  13. maybe the time comes when you think of the wider picture ,instead of working all the time you find yourself having days off to do what you want and vans make good tools to escape...... O0

    yeh mines here... ;D
     
  14. I'm definitely having mine... 45... desperately looking for a change of career, even considered buying a caravan-based barber business and I can't even cut hair!!! At least my crisis doesn't involve jumping out of planes, taking up belly dancing or selling up all my worldly good to run an animal sanctuary on Kos. Well, not yet ;)
