Maybe it's because I've basically been locked up for 6 months working from home. Maybe it's because the neighbor just sold out and the new buyer thinks he's going to build a McMansion in my front yard. Maybe I'm just sick of the same old, same old. Whatever it is, I'm about ready to call the auction company, sell everything and set out for new horizons. There's not really anything holding us here other than my job and the house. Both can be replaced. I haven't bought a Vet yet and wouldn't, but most days I'm feeling like life is passing me by and I better get to it before it's too late.
Anyone else BTDT?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

This is a midlife crisis. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/T3m43QM.jpg) What you are describing is an awakening.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

You are right , life is passing you by . Buy a motorcycle , your preference as long as it at least 1000cc . Give your neighbor the finger .

And what will you accomplish???? Get off your pitty pot and be thankful everyday for the here and now, smell the roses, take a trip, go fishing, visit friends or family. Just what exactly is it that you think you are missing? A wasted future, with no money and a bimbo for a girlfriend. Doesn't sound like much of a future to me.

Yep had some of the same thoughts last night. I’ve got it pretty good but am finding myself to be restless and unmotivated professionally. Strong urge to tell them firm to GFY and move along to the next thing

Might not want to buy her, I'd rent her for an hour or so.

for me its doing the stuff i have been saving for most of my adult life. new kitchen, shop out back, nice truck, some tools, toys etc. nothing too crazy. ya i'd like a ZL1 camaro but that is not a high priority. i just need rich friends who can loan me their ZL1 for a weekend here and there. i have gotten to the point in life where i can see landfall. its a bit away but looms closer every day. time to smell a rose or three.
My diploma is a DD214

If I was to fill my mid life crisis I would find me a nice vintage car of my choice and do a full mod retro. Looks of yesteryear with the performance and dependability of today.
Or I would just do a whole lot more hunting and fishing with my boys or buddies.
Help keep our sport going. take a kid outdoors!

Buy one, you will have zero regrets:)
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I'm well past midlife and into my twilight years. I'll say one thing, I'm well beyond "stuff" making me happy let alone defining my life. I'm leaving that to my mostly early retiree neighbors with their various motor toys, etc. Nor am I breathlessly reporting on my latest "build". I have all the guns I need, and it's not that many.
To each his own. Whatever gives you satisfaction and makes you happy.

Not necessarily a crisis of any kind. Maybe it's just time for a change.
Change can be good.

Mine turned into 11 bicycles on my front porch and 160 lbs of fat loss.
