Whilst lying in bed last night thinking about stuff, as you do, I realised that in 16 years I shall be 60 : /
Therefore I have decided that it's time for my mid-life crises.
In what form do you think this crisis should be realised?

Then living in a treehouse in the forest for the rest of your days.
Definitely the best idea.

And then as you go throw down all your (paper) money so everybody thinks it's raining money!
or just have a cry, watch a movie and eat chocolate.

Sell everything you own.
Buy a canal-boat.
Become a river-pirate, surviving by looting food and fuel from holiday-makers.
EDIT: Sod paper money, get it changed into pennies :D

loose women and drugs
or Kaol's idea. My boss's PA is doing that when she retires in a month.

"When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickles for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple."
Me? I'd buy a second-hand macintosh, binoculars, a large supply of bovril and a wheelie bin, so I could loiter suspiciously outside schools. (Poking my binoculars out furtively from the top of the wheelie bin, obviously)

Buy a huge motorbike and ride around on it wearing a filthy white wife-beater and leather jeans with alligator skin cowboy boots.
Oh sorry, you mean for you. Erm, as above really.

travel to Asia (Nepal is ideal);
at least 4 weeks off work doing nothing but exactly what you want to, with whom you want to.
Good luck !

you can't do as I did and divorce an abusive bitch while in the middle of uni studying to be an engineer.
But I gotta say, it's worked well for me...

I already did that years ago. I'm just coming out of my short hair and no sex period.
