How do you prepare your family for your midlife crisis?

I found out yesterday i might be having a midlife crisis 
As the weather was nice i decided to take a mosey to the newsagents to get a paper. I was sporting a Givenchy T, True Religion jeans, my Fendi belt and i had my beats by dre on! I looked fresh
Usually when i get a paper i buy The Sun, but something changed yesterday and along with a Chupa Chup i bought The Sunday Times :eek: walking home i realised i'm a culture clash! Juvenile freshness, with a midlife newspaper... What crowd was i appealing to?
That's not all, i dont smoke but last week i tried a puff on a vape! It was vanilla flavour, and i liked it. I just feel like i'm a man bun away from a full on midlife crisis
I know people here would have experienced a midlife crisis, so how do i prepare my family for this bombshell?

I doubt you need to prepare you family, they've probably already noticed the warning signs.
Have you been listening to radio 2? do you shout at your kids for leaving the door open and letting a draft in? have you started seriously thinking about maybe getting a motorbike?0 -

There is a radio 2 :eek: i'll have to check that out! I've already had a motorbike, well a moped but if i did get another 1 i could earn extra money as a Domino's delivery driver :money:fairy_lights wrote: »I doubt you need to prepare you family, they've probably already noticed the warning signs.

I dont shout at the kids either, but wifey does and she complains about drafts. She might be having a midlife crisis as well!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Think I had mine a few years back Spinkz when I bought a convertible car and then later in the year a small boat and a jet ski, I get taken the pee out of all the time that I am trying to relive my youth but from my perspective I see it as things I could not afford when I was younger are within easy reach now.0

I used to deliver newspapers when I was at school. I got about £10 per week, if I remember rightly.
Sundays were the worst day because the papers were so heavy. They were at least double the size of the ordinary weekday papers, because of all the Sunday supplements!
There was one sreet in particular where most houses got the Sunday Times or the Torygraph. That was the only occasion I can think of where a Sun reader is far preferable :rotfl:This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

you need to start having a bonfire on a Sunday for it to be a true mid life crisis.0
