    I've always wanted to do this, but you have to exclude Knock and Cork.

    Ok so I've got in excess of a decade on you, nothing in the bank, 2 kids (24/17 both still at home) and a Husband who I rarely see due to his long hours, about to become a Granny and unemployed (long-term :()for the the first time in my adult life!! Now that's a mid-life crises!! Take a holiday, an activity type based one where you will meet like-minded souls, have a party, tell your mates to bring some friends. widen your social circle....find a hobby, you have enough to fund it!! And in the true tradition of the Irish Mammy, take a career break....you'd be foolish imo to resign from any job that allows you to maintain such savings in this climate!! Good Luck and enjoy:)

    Go out, get some hookers, do some drugs, be grand.

    That should take care of the 100 grand part anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,533 ✭✭✭the keen edge


    Quit the job and with the free time go on a ****-a-thon.

    Then we might finally get an answer to that age old question: Just how many consecutive masturbation sessions can a man have before his cock and balls fall off?

    You might even be awarded a Honorary doctorate from Tyne and Wirrel Institute of Medical Studies or some other sh!tty College nobody has ever heard of.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    You are only a young un.

    Go out, get some hookers, do some drugs, be grand.

    so were agreed then... hookers and blow OP, now get to it time is running out


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Sorry if this was said before.

    Would it be possible to go on a career break for a number of years? Do loads of traveling? Holidays you always wanted to go on? Having the cash is an obvious big bonus. If you can afford to blow a chunk of it then go for it.

    If it all works out well then you have just made yourself a new life and if it goes belly up, then go back to your day job.

    Enjoy it, all means fock all in the end anyway and no matter what the out come I'll bet anything you wont regret going crazy for awhile.

    *If you are looking for a life guidance my rates start at a bag of coke and 200 euro.

    Do you have a good balance between work and job? Do you have any hobbies? Like you 36 I would hardly call that mid life. Your still at a age when you'll find a wife no problems at all.

    36 is most definitely mid life, men don't live much past 72.

    Step 6. Realise you need a visa for that particular country
    Step 7. Detained
    Step 8. Go home and apply for a visa

    Midlife paradise more like it.

    Seriously OP, pop down your local hospital's ICU or Oncology wards during visiting hours someday and you'll see people your age that have a genuine crisis.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    Go up to a homeless person and ask them to swap lives with you, hand over everything you own to them, then walk in there shoes for two weeks, make sure you get them to sign something saying they have to hand back whatever is left in 2 weeks.

    36 is too young for a mid life crisis.

    Not if your going to die at 72.

    Why do people keep saying that? It's roughly at the half way point of your life, hence MID LIFE crisis.

    Unless of course part of the mid life crisis is being deluded that you are in mid life and not young anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    The mid life bit is a misnomer. It's usually people in their 40s or 50s that display the symptoms of mid life crisis, as in a compulsion to act younger than they are to the detriment of their current life or relationships.

    This is just some relatively young guy navel gazing and letting people know he has savings..

    If I had €100k I wouldn't be posting on here.

    You should give €100 to the 1st 100 posters on this thread.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 381 ✭✭Bad Santa


    Not if your going to die at 72.

    By that logic, it's fine for a ten year old to have a midlife crisis as long as they are dead by 20.

    I second that motion. €2000 would change my life right now.

    I'm due €2000 as I posted twice.

    100k? Dude, go backpacking for a few years. (I'm not saying you'll discoiver yourself before people jump on me).

    If your life is getting you down, then get away from it. Go back packing because at least that way you'll meet people. You tend to meet more people in hostels than hotels.

    Hang around a beach in thailand for a few months. Then go to Oz for a while. Stop off in india for a while. Go to south america and drink rum on a carribean beach whilst salsa dancing till the sun comes up.

    You sound like you just need to get away from everything for an extended period of time. It's not like the money will do you any good unless you spend it and you'll never get a chance to do something like this unless you do it now.

    And If youy go for 3 years, you'll probably still have 2/3 of your money when you get back. If you get back. You might end up settling down with some colombian beauty :)

    You've just given me an idea...
