Get something classic that was made in 1979:

Fine watch
Sports car (granted, the late '70's were a bleak period for cars...)
Firearm (if that's your thing)

I hit 40 in about a 1.5 years and I'm going to buy a nice watch and a bottle of scotch.

And a gun?

I’m sure you could get it in some Eastern European block counties if you pay enough

A friend of mine just turned 50 and decided to visit all 50 states. I was going to ask her what she was going to do for her 69th birthday but we're not that close.

I'm more of an 'experiences' then 'things' person, so, I would say a vacation somewhere crazy or that you've always wanted to go to, it's just never felt like the right time.

You might not make it to 50! Why wait?

First legit response so far. I totally agree and it's funny you say that bc I already decided to take next year off as a sabbatical from structured training and focus on experiences. Thinking about doing some bikepacking and I've already agreed to join my uncle for the Alps Haute Route in Aug 2020.

Blow a 40 year old male hooker?

i like the experience idea. When my group of friends and I all turned 50 a few years back (friends since college), we did a guys trip to Florida. When my wife turned 50 last year, she went to Santorini for a yoga retreat with her sister.

I am turning 60 in August. I just shelled out for a gravel bike women’s camp in September and then a bike and bourbon four day weekend later that month in Kentucky. Can’t wait. I’ll probably also spend a week in Austin and probably a long weekend in Miami later when it’s cold here.

Only works if you have kids and a MLB team.

My boys are “taking” me on a dad-sons weekend to two Mariners game and a night at a downtown Seattle hotel. “They” booked the tickets and room with only a little assistance. It was all their idea, I promise.

My apologies my brain doesn’t automatically think of chicks with dicks. If it’s your Birthday feel free to blow any type of 40 year old hooker that pleases you.

On my birthday I will be blowing a 49 year old hooker.

Also there are no chicks with dicks. Those are dudes with tits.

I have my milestone car picked out, a 1970 Datsun 240z. If I can find one. With 2 small kids, it might have to wait til I'm 60...

for 50, a nice trip somewhere.

Two things I waited for until I was .

My first motorcycle and my first tattoo.

I always wanted both, but I figured if I waited until 40, I Might change my mind about the tattoo and I might not kill myself on the motorcycle. I was happy with both decisions. My tattoo is cool and the motorcycles were fun.
