Is it really a mid-life crisis when we are in out 40's-50's and we buy our "toys". I have this converstion all the time with my wife when ever I want to buy something new. I explain when I was younger, I could't afford all the "toys" back then, house payment's, kids. etc. Now that I'm making more money, have more than one home, (rentals), so together we have more than enough money. I want to enjoy my life. I still ride dirtbikes, my Harley, my Daytona, etc. She has no problem for us shelling out a thousand bucks, (one night only!) next weekend for a suite so we can "entertain" a small gathering of family. I told her if it rain's, were cancelling the suite. I kinda want to go, but a grand for one night! I told her tonight I wanted to buy a mountain bike, nothing fancy, maybe $300 tops. There are some dirt roads I want to ride up to a secret resivor in the local mountains. She told me to get on the stairmaster for 10 minutes, then jump in the pool, it would be the same thing! I also want to buy a new Ducati,(1098s), she says why a Du-cat-i, when U- got- me! Sure was simplier before I got remarried! But I love her still. (had to put that in case she see's this thread)!
