Add “lack of retirement planning” to the the brew of control issues, anger, death of a loved one, job loss, identity crisis, as a source of major stress… It HAS to be a huge trigger for midlife crisis.

I think the reason it hasn’t been mentioned, is that it is such a looming crisis, we don’t even want to look at it.

Just my “two cents worth, Queen, tell me if you don’t agree!
