“you’ll get more conservative as you get older and have money”

Wrong on both counts. Show me the X who has money not from inheritance or crime.

I think I understand your argument, but it's not hard to imagine someone telling a teenager that quote, prior to them getting steady work only a few years later.

It's also moldy advice. I recall this one getting tossed around back in the 1980's, by parents that absolutely went from zero responsibility to paying taxes on salary and a house, just after graduating High school. Things are very different now.

It's not even true for boomers. I'm (barely) a boomer and I'm much more liberal than when I was young, even though I have more money.
