So is a loaded sports car more commonly associated with an American male's midlife crisis.

My midlife crisis purchase is probably a $100k USD piano I can't play very well when a $1000 digital would probably do just fine and not annoy the neighbors in adjacent apartments.

I have used the hell out of it for a project that needs to be written in go. I have no experience in go (but I do in over a dozen other languages). It has helped me tremendously. The autocomplete freaks me out sometimes as if it's reading my mind.

Basically I'm a soft, doughy ATM.

I have a 3.5 year gap on mine and used to dread this question. It came up during a second or third interview with a previous employer and the dread left as I answered honestly:

I was married to someone that was fortunate enough to have a lot of wealth and I didn't need to work. During this time we traveled a good bit and I went back to school for a stint to study music theory. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything in the world but, alas, the marriage didn't work out and I had to go back to work. When reviewing my options I found a renewed sense of purpose in my career that transcends a simple means to pay my bills. I am very blessed to have had these opportunities and wish everyone was as fortunate.

I took my first dose of Vyvanse at 46 and realized what silence actually sounds like. Then I took a nap. I no longer take medication because I realized that I mostly have developed healthy enough coping skills at 51 years to deal but I also recognize it's a very sharp and useful tool to have in the toolbox when needed.

He's being prosecuted for doing something illegal (allegedly) that wasn't part of his official duties as President.

I keep one I bought on Amazon in my car. I park illegally and put my boot on to make them think they already got me.
