    To be fair, aging tends to involve gathering objects over the years. So unless you hit really hard times, you to end up collecting a lot of what you “need”. Age also makes most people care less what other people think you should have, so you don’t feel that you have to buy many things outside of what you actually want and need.

      That’s true. Most of my money, now, goes toward buying back my time in the form of saving for retirement. (At least, when I don’t have to help my deadbeat parents in some way.)
