that's a good question. it depends on the life the 50 year old leads. if they are going after and have business or financial goals, they have that to distract them. if they are consumer wagies, they have slop to distract them. some people don't break easily from their loop. i am 36 and have a nice income and a kid (though i'm separated) and even i get strange middle of th enight existential crises that make me want to find a higher purpose. if i didn't have a kid or some form of legacy plan by my 50s, i'm not sure i'd keep going. that said, by that time you are weak and deflated of testosterone so you're probably much more mellow about things.
