Does Buying A Toy Help With A Midlife Crisis?

Greg's picture

Corvette? Harley? The midlife buying spree is a cliche ... or is it? What did you buy, and did it help?

Nothing wrong with a present for yourself at 40

I bought a convertible. Yes cliche but as I was nearing 40 I decided it was time to buy a fun car.

Further to my previous comment

I turned the car at the end of the lease. I believe that convertibles are vastly over-rated. After the first few months I rarely took the top down.

sometimes a toy is just a toy

at 45 I bought a Harley (a make that I had wanted since teen years - had ridden Japanese rockets for 25 years :-); at 49 I bought an older ute nad had it lowered and supercharged. No crisis involved - finally had money for the toys.
