<<X, fwiw I'm still trying to determine whether people (under 50) become more materialistic with age... I'm gathering up responses from people I know... which unfortunately includes too few over 50 to be meaningful so its a 25 - 50 time period I'm looking at. >> Well I'm 51 and will tell you about becoming materialistic my different age groups. Having no children I will be my only support when I get, well if I get to old age. That idea hit when I was about 40. I started saving, not buying a bunch of things. I realize that there will come a day when I'll have to hire help to get things done. Property taxes will be going up and income down. May have to move some day. My wife's little horse accident has driven home how fast things change. The tab will hit $40,000 and we'll owe about $6 large on that. Plus she will never get back to 100%. At 50+ these things happen. It's a damn shame people have to worry about how to survive when they get older. The schools here are driving up the property taxes so fast older people have to move from homes they have lived in for 50 years. That's not good. I'm not one to hope God or the government takes care of me. Never was, never will be.
