I've gone through multiple: once in my 40s and once in my 50s. As my health inevitably declines, I expect another.

I didn't buy a Corvette though, but rather approached the topic of death and limited time head-on. I was "helped" by the death of multiple close family members and the murder of a close friend.

I feel I'm in a good place now.

Understand that nearly every man goes through this.

My boss told me…

BOSS: i think im gonna buy the beamer. ME: sir, please dont buy the beamer. Will it really bring you joy? Here are some joyful purchases you could dump some cash into: … BOSS: But i think i need that beamer .. BOSS: Bought! … BOSS: Arrrg scratch on the Beamer! Arrrrg cant park there, i have a beamer! Arrrrg can’t do this or that in the Beamer!

Don’t buy the Beamer, kids.

Cars like that are the peacock tail - they aren't meant to be cheap, convenient or easy to live with.
