    Men are apparently supposed to go through a mid life crisis and a mid mid life crisis (“quarterlife crisis”). The mid life crisis arives around 40-45. The mid mid life crisis around 25-30.

    I'd say start having a crisis around 25 and end it around 45. :)

    that's just awkward... the mid mid life crisis would be much more accurately titled the "mid early life crisis."

    by the name, the mid mid life crisis seems like it would take place during the traditional midlife crisis...

    You talk of awkward and then coin: mid early life crisis
    Yes, that just rolls off the tongue. :rolleyes:

    The mid mid life crisis is no name for anything...true.
    I'd stick with quarter-life crisis.

    Just say it's the 'screwed crisis' then you get to the 'old crisis' and then you get to the 'dead crisis'.

    You forgot the teen crisis. And the senile crisis. It sure sounds like life is a big series of crises.

    I was thinking the teen thing was more a drama than a crisis.
    Who cares about old people, really?

    You're saying that because you're neither a teen nor senile. I don't think they care much about your mid mid life crisis either. But, you'll soon find out.

    should take to closest next of kin and how long they lived .. Divide it in 1/2..
    So if your pappy lived to be 80.. your midlife is 40.. :D

    haha.. That's good.

    But what if they die at 80 and you're already 60?
    You'd have to use the last person who died.. and that could be anyone.
