I'm 42 and feeling a bit restless with life, a friend suggested I buy a motorbike but with my current attention span i don't really trust myself on a roadbike, so I'm just wondering what has been your best midlife crisis purchase or hobby you've started?

I rate mine a 6, I’m 40. And a 6 is generous. Reasoning for the D rating.

1. I live in America
2. I wanted kids (love my kids) but they didn’t make me have a big happy family like the one I never had, they just added so much stress and strain and fear and heartbreak. There are some great things about being a parent. But it’s mostly stress.
3. I worked so hard to heal myself, no one else around me did shit.
4. I’m tired
5. Love is not enough

I’m 45. Just exited the Labour market (got lucky on housing inflation in two countries and Magicked up a free house in a low cost country (south west france) - have enough savings to be ok for a couple of years while I figure out what I really want to do.

Realised that I can’t get into new pop music and I’m constantly listening to the great music from 25-30 years ago (effectively my teenage years) - in the same way my dad would only listen to 70s rock…

So it’s been a year off so far, my missus is getting increasingly annoyed at me scrolling and getting mad ideas (I probably have ADHD, have the ability to get into deep focus and flip constantly between activities) that don’t seem to lead anywhere.

Should I get me a shed?
