It's Not a Midlife Crisis

I am 40 and just got a Z, after waiting many years for the kids to get older, my income, net worth, etc to reach appropriate sums to drop 40k on a luxury car. But I am rather well adjusted, happy and successful, and I think the Z is a reflection of that, rather than a symptom of mal-content. Anyone who disparages us rewarding ourselves after putting in 20 years of hard graft and sacraficing to support a family, is simply envious and wants to conceal the fact they have don't have the ability to do the same.
