At the age of 40, life begins, says Walter B. Pitkin
The job life or work life of a man is split into two parts, with a 3:1 ratio. That is, from the ages of 25 to 50, he will be one person, and from the ages of 50 to 60, he will be an entirely other. So, what does the research author intend when he says this?
Let me return to the 3:1 ratio. The first section is where a man finds a job, marries, and has children. This is when the expenses start to add up. In the next 5 to 10 years, the children will receive basic education, he will buy a new automobile, and a new house. Promotions and certain geographical changes are also happening at the same time. By the age of 40, he’s already trapped in a cycle or on a track where things aren’t moving forward. His employment pays well enough for him and his family to live securely. This is the first section of our father’s life that my generation has seen.
Let me now go to the second section (:1). This is the primary emphasis of the article. And then there’s the research paper. So, around the age of 45, a gentleman begins to have strange thoughts about his life, particularly his work. What exactly is this position? What am I going to do when I’m 60? (If you’re not a government employee), Is it likely that the next 10–15 years will be the same? Should I secure the items at the top? And so forth.
As a result, this can be classified as stress number one.
The article also states that there can be four to five key pillars of stress, which might lead to a so-called “midlife crisis”.
One is his work, or career, which is usually tied to employment, as we previously stated.
Second is Children. His son or daughter will be in adolescence by the time he is 45 to 50, which is the most confusing and difficult time for both of them. This is the point in their education when they make a significant leap. This is also the type of time for him or her to fall prey to any actions that will never benefit them and will almost always hurt them. I’m not going to say what they are because I don’t want to give anything away.
Third is his wife. Studies for this research were carried out in a variety of nations and communities. The woman is going through the last stages of menopause during this time. They may even require medical assistance in some circumstances. Almost every family will have to go through this phase.
His parents are the fourth. as His parents , they are nearing the end of their lives. Medical expenses are high due to hospitalization, therapy, medications, and other factors. Despite all of the other crises, they must be given time.
Fifth. So, what could you expect from the last key reason? Excessive Spending… This is essentially the outcome of the preceding four. And this is the one that hits the deepest. Personal debts, educational payments for sons and daughters, home expenses, healthcare bills for parents, and other incidental fees, among other things.
It suffocates him. He could become enraged. He may be irritated. He might not want to return home for a few days. People in his immediate environment may not always recognise this. He could attempt to inform you, but we might not understand what he’s saying. But it’s all a matter of human nature. This, too, must pass.
After reading the research article, all I can say is that if we at least try to acknowledge the fact that we understand this dilemma, half of his crisis will be solved.
Now after his first phase of 50’s. This is where the sun starts to shine.
This occurs when a son or daughter completes her schooling and pursues a job on their own. Jobs gains confidence since he realizes he is in his final ten years of his career. He’ll be at the peak of his expertise. He obviously loses his parents and gets their inheritance. It’s a human thing, once again. Last but not the least , he bonds with his wife like never before because its just the two of them . He doesn’t need his monetary resources right now, despite the fact that he possesses them. It’s the phase when he seeks out new interests,start a new business, NGO, makes new pals his age, and talks about their children; perhaps a world trip… why not?
Because a crisis is something akin to a hurdle that only heroes like our father or mother can overcome, a period in which he endures stress from four to five sectors of life is referred to be a “midlife crisis.”
So this summarized article is dedicated to my father, a hero who triumphed over this crisis, and I was fortunate enough to witness him up close and learn from him about what can be done today to prevent a future midlife crisis.
“AKNOWLEDGE THE CRISIS”
This is a tribute to all fathers.
