Sports cars
Remortgaging the family house to pay for a shiny new sports car or Harley-Davidson motorbike.
Image change
Trendy clothes, a new haircut (if he has any left), ear piercings, body waxing, tattoos and skincare regimes. Black leather jackets are a popular choice.
Health kick
Diets, gym membership and a desire to run the London Marathon.
Musical hobbies
Learning to play the guitar, joining a band and listening to hip- hop in an attempt to be cool. Comic Johnny Vegas admitted that taking up the cello was "symptomatic" of his mid-life crisis. Others buy an iPod.
Weekends for the boys
Nightclubs, surfing and car rallying.
Rekindling past romances or friendships
Whatever happened to the girl he first kissed, or that gorgeous blonde at university, or the mate who always got him into trouble at school? Internet sites make it easier than ever to track down people from the past.
The meaning of life
Self-help books, meditation classes and spiritual journeys in a quest to discover the soul.
