Disturbingly accurate. I ain't out doing midlife crisis shit because I suddenly stared into the abyss at my own mortality. It's because I can afford everything I've always wanted to do.

When I was like three I watched the property maintenance dude plowing snow on our building's front yard with a pickup truck and I thought that not only was it the coolest job in the world, but oh, how badly I wanted a truck like that too.

Fastforward 30 years and there I'm staring at one in the used cars parking lot at the local dealership realising it's what I've always wanted and I can actually afford it too. Now I get to stare at it every single day because it's mine. I even ended up starting my own business later so now it's not only fun to drive and beatiful to look at but also useful.
