In three weeks I will turn 50. I have never done anything special or bought a nice birthday present for myself?

Of course you should. GO AND HAVE A BALL! Do all the things you've wanted to do if you have the money to do it with. If you can't afford to spend lots of money, enjoy all the things in life which are free (or almost free) like walking in the countryside, looking at the sky, visiting the art gallery, spending time with real friends and with your family. Our lives are but a blink of an eye, so wear what you want and make it bright! bright! bright! enjoy the foods you love, dance, sing, go a little crazy, feed your soul by opening your eyes, above all be HAPPY! Roll on the next 10 years and have more fun, HAPPY BIRTHDAY xxxx

Book a vacation to someplace exotic. Set it up so its a week long and fill it with all fun things you would want to do. It gives you a great week away with the wife, and a week doing everything you want, with no work or chores.

Buy yourself a new TV or new computer. Or whatever new toy you want. If you like sports buy season tickets or something

It is always nice to spend a little on yourself, especially if you never do. We all deserve to be spoiled!

And, of course, have a huge party!!!

I should drop a few hints to close family and friends about what you'd like to do for your 50th.

A movie with the wife/husband.

A meal with the family in a restaurant.

A night out with friends for a few drinks.

And at some point in your 50th year you should start travelling a little.

By all means .I would get something that you can keep forever and always remember it was for your 50th b day.Do you have enough money to take a few close friends out to dinner to celebrate? Lunch or brunch? maybe buy yourself a nice pinky ring or bracelet.

You gave no info on yourself but, at 50 you should be realizing what I have by now. What we have means nothing, it's what we do. How many toys we leave our kids is pointless. Our only mark on us is what we experience and only things that we leave that matter are our children. Idk your life, your job or your income but i've been saving and going places I've always wanted to see. Traveling, seeing a bit of my world. When/if my life passes before my eyes, I want it to be a movie, not a short story.

G'day Adrian,

Thank you for your question.

Yes you should if you can afford it. I would think of something that you have already wanted to do and arrange to do it. Perhaps you should set yourself to do something you've always wanted to do every year.
