"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

@cmconseils There is a Spanish saying: "If you are young and are not liberal, you don't have a heart, if you are old and you are not conservative, you don't have a brain"

I find it a cheap excuse from people who become richer and forget their principles
