Mid-Life Crisis, anyone?
 

Anyone have or had a mid-life crisis? What was the outcome?

i got past mid life without the crisis:thumbup:

Yeah, ex-husband had one.

I got the house, he got the door.

I'm 53 when I get to my midlife I will let you know if I have a crisis

Hard to admit, when in my 50s I couldn't decide between paper or plastic.

:a20:

Nope - I actually believe I am getting better - yes, older, but more important better! Loving my 60's and looking forward to what's ahead.

Nothing so far. I may not be to my mid life yet. Or I could be in it if I live to be 140.

We'll see what happens, ya never know.

By one definition I read, midlife crisis is experienced between the ages of 40 and 60. According to Jung it is a normal part of the maturing process. It was about age 45 that both my wife and I changed jobs and moved a couple hundred miles from where we had raised our family. It started out as an "economic move" but also became an unexpected change in our lifestyle with adventure and excitement. It was the best move we ever made. Was it a midlife crisis? Don't know----- but it was a maturing process with its ups and downs for sure. The other big change came when we retired. Retirement has been very exciting and this time we moved twelve hundred miles and it has been an even bigger adventure. Who says teenage marriages don't work? Some of our very best friends got married young and they, along with us, have been married 50 years. Someone once said, "you can't stay young forever but you can be immature for the rest of your life." Crisis and change comes to all of us but its how we respond that makes all the difference.

Yup at age 41, a misdiagnosis medical, became a school teacher (had certifications) closed lucrative business, 22 years later I gave it up and went back to business as a mentor. I really never liked teaching, biggest mistake I ever made.

Now I am happy and rebuilding the life I had before and moving to The Villages as soon as this business quarter is over. I learned a lot, now using it for the mentoring concept I have but still I wish I had never done it.

2 corvettes and a motorcycle later I am doing fine ! :D

The outcome was buying a house in TV

I am past mid-life and don't remember a crises.

Just need to move to TV.

I sure did but I survived it because my wife didn't shoot me...roflmao.
