Fuck I think I'm having a mid life crisis...

The combination of lockdown and turning 40 has finally made me lose the plot!! I've spent 2k on a dog (non suitable in local shelter before anyone says!!), paid a 1k deposit to get braces with a remaining balance of 2k and now to finally top it off I've got a new job working less hours because I'm fed up with my gurmpy boss wearing me down and giving me her share of the work to do whilst I'm on 20p more then my colleagues!! I've totally lost the plot as now I've realised although I will have the gift of time I won't have any fucking money to enjoy that time!! The new job isn't even much better its just a change and less days what the hell is wornd with me I don't feel like myself at all. I've always played safe and worried about spending and here I am spending it all and now quiting my job to earn less money because life is too short to work every day 😭😭😭

I did similar at around 41 - got my teeth straightened and quit my well paid job without anything else to go to. Looking back 10 years later, they were good choices! Good luck OP.

Thank you every one feeling slightly calmer after my WTF have I done moment 😱. I literally applied, got it and quit in less then 2 weeks so very sudden. Im still waiting for my dental appointment delay due to covid but hopefully straightener both sets and closing some gaps with invisalign. It was my 40th birthday treat to myself feeling a bit selfish now though spend so much.

I predict you will be happier than ever. It's not selfish to do things just for you. I think this year has allowed us that
Enjoy

I hope so 😊
