What's your best Mid-life guy advice?

I suggest finding simple, inexpensive, social hobbies because you never know who you'll meet.
For me, I found playing Cornhole by chance and have met more people through local tournaments (Scoreholio app) than I could have never imagined. Most could never imagine the weekly $10 blind draw tournaments that happen in their area.
It has been life changing for me for more than one reason.
Just to clarify, I'm happily married with wonderful kids.

Stay single and spend time with your kids.

You could choose worse hobbies imo

How does one have kids while staying single?
Just knocking up random broads?

Go to Vegas and get involved with cartel strippers.

Cornhole?
That’s your answer to a fulfilling and rewarding life?
This has to be a joke.

Life is too short to manage the feelings and emotions of those that can't manage their own.

My youngest just turned 18 and I'm inching closer to 50. It seems like life goes one of two ways. Your marriage gets better and you start adding things that you weren't able to afford in your 20s OR you are divorced/miserable and at a point in your life where you need to figure out how you want to live the back 9 in your life.
I'm in the first category. No mortgage payment, we have excess household income, and we have more date nights/overnight trips than we've ever had. The biggest thing we come close to arguing about is our dogs. Now in my 30s we argued a ton. Hell, we had some nuclear blowups in our first 3 years of marriage.
We've been married for longer than both of our parents combined. So I see both sides. The one thing that is universal is spend as much time as possible with your kids. I look at pictures and wish I could have more time with them at those stages. If you've got the means, travel and spend the money on things you like. If I was single I'd be traveling quite a bit. Luckily my wife enjoys going to new stadiums for football games (1/yr)... I would be going to 6-8/yr if it was up to me alone.

No, it's an example of a simple, competitive, inexpensive activity/hobby that changed my routine in life for the better. And, yes, I still spend most of my time with my wife and kids.

There are limited things you can control and even less that really matter. Time is your only real currency. Act accordingly.

Excellent advice

Go to the gym, don't be a bitch. The social clubs like you're in is what we tried to use to get laid after college in places like ATL.
Say you like loading mags, it's therapeutic. You'll make a lot of friends quickly. They pay you in beer to stand there and talk man shite while you just go home with your fingers stinking of copper. You could get accused of finger blasting someone at that time of the month, of course.
Seriously, you have a limited window to develop or maintain hobbies that don't involve your wife telling you what to do. You know, for the kids, of course. Claim some land, somewhere. Play Warhammer or Monopoly or Beer Trivia every other week, but plant a flag.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. You do those 3 things and everything else is cream cheese.

Do a bunch of steroids. Buy a Corvette. Go to the local 18+ club.
