I said the urban elite, i.e those who work in white-collar professions. Those who work in blue-collar professions usually get married much earlier. But the first group which I mentioned wait until they are 35 or 40.

Either 35 or 40? Find me the exact average age and we will start talking instead of saying pseudo-truth based on your perception of the world

Generally speaking yes. The experience you gain over the years, particularly when you have qualifications and accolades, you will earn a lot more. Senior roles pay a noticeable better wage, depending on the job you are in, of course.

For low skilled jobs you only get a small seniority raise as you get older

You need to change jobs when you reach your maximum potential on a job if you want to make more or you can enjoy your free time to spend time with your family and friends Wink

Where I live, people over 60 years of age pay 10x medical premiums when compared to those in the 30s and 40s. That is, if they are able to find an insurer willing to enroll them.

Both my parents have advanced degrees in microbiology, and both have spent decades working in that field. When they reached the pay ceiling for those positions, both of them, despite being in mid-40s, researched what positions are in high demand, took computer and programming classes in the evenings, and switched to software development with different concentrations (mom for database design, dad for human resource management systems). Both are now making more than twice what they used to.
If it took them any more effort than it did to learn their initial degrees and skill, they didn't show it.

Sounds like an ageist statement if I have seen one. There are students over age 40 (even 60) in universities and they seem to be just as capable, as the younger students, in finishing their degree (and learning new things).

Older people don't suck at learning new skills - they just become complacent (apathy) or get tied up with responsibilities which prevents them from learning skills or going back to school.

I don't have any doubts about their conviction or self-belief. But all I am saying is that it takes much greater effort from their side, when compared to the younger population.

As in a sense of determinism, no, why should you have more income by just getting older? Obviously you're more dependent on medical expenses but that is a social issue.

Most people get more income as they grow older because they have invested in themselves either by furthering their educational levels or through work experience.

And not to mention the large number of people who are laid off and are unable to find alternative employment. The older you get, the chances of re-employment gradually vanishes.

ya thats kind of true but do yo remember why we got into debt in the first place? Many people get rich only if they can not buy the fancy cars, name brand anything and try to save buying your items at a thrift show. I see many people were rich when the got older because of spending habits alone.

Good point. I think it's funny how many people think being rich is all about spending money. As though they got rich that way. My wealthiest friends are proud cheapskates. They don't even care about money, just wining. They can't stand to see some other guy get a higher score then they have.

It depends on how much you save during the working years, and what you doing the savings. If you spend all you earned, your debt is likely to pile up the older you get. If you save and leave the money in a savings account, the savings will be eaten away by inflation, purchasing power of the savings will drop. Only those who save and invest successfuly will get richer the older he gets, which may be a minority in the population.

well, the title is not totally wrong especially for middle class people, people mid and high middle class, that works as managing staff in companies, lawyers, doctors ....ect ect, tends to get higher salaries with experience that comes with age of course (it's not necessary always true but in general it is) and usually during the middle of the carrier, they get to buy house(s), flat(s) and stuff on a loan that they pay over the years, by the end of their career they usually have more than decent salaries, no loan to pay, living a decent life in a decent house and stuff, and they can afford more stuff by then, hence you seen people at their 60s just getting their Porsches or Ferraries, while when they were in the middle on their carriers they had your average sedan, is being in the high middle class can be considered as rich, well it's all about perspective really, but for the average joe it can be considered as rich

Of course there are older studies which indicated that, back in the 1990s, women received about 9 times more. The trend has been more money has been diverted to male health and men are starting to embrace healthier food choices but there's still a bias in socialized medicine, albeit this is trivial since socialized medicine is going to the shitters in most countries

Agreed. Life expectancy in the Western world is currently going over the 80 mark, and for the women, it is even higher. For example, the average life expectancy in the UK is 81.0 according to the WHO in 2013. For the women, it is 82.5 years. And who knows, in the next two decades it can go over 85 years as well.

Insurance companies are not dumb.

The life insurance usually is to cover the mortgage or working income.

So its great if they purchased it when they were younger 30-50.

But if they are 80 and ask for life insurance... they will not get very far I promise you that.

Also again its the elderly person we are talking. Not their spouse or their children.

What if they have no children and no wife/husband ?

Well im talking about getting insurance when they are in there 40s and 50s, this is the secret of how people make money on there parents I know this jewish lady who did that on her father cause we all know men usually are the first ones to go.

In regards to life insurance: I'm not sure if you're just ignorant or trolling, but either way, I will educate you.
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses with a single goal...to make money for themselves and their shareholders. Some of the highest paid employees of any insurance company are the actuaries. They come out with actuarial tables giving the life expectancy for any particular person with any particular medical history (they are not legally able to make actuarial tables based on race or ethnicity). Insurance companies have access to the Medical Information Bureau and National Prescription database so that a consumer that "forgets" about something on their application, could be properly vetted. Insurance companies are also able to require an applicant to complete paramed exam up to a full physical as a condition of getting the coverage.
Everything is priced in when an insurance company makes a premium offer to the consumer. The insurance companies will make (roughly) the same profits off of a 30 year old, non-smoking, female as they would off of a 70 year old male smoker.
There is no such thing as pulling a fast one over on the insurance company (obviously I'm speaking in general, there will always be the occasional outlier).

ok so I did a quote just to show you that you dont know what your really talking, met life quote, Ill over ball it for you
so say my mom is 55 which is true, smoker yes, health is good. 20 year plan. Knowing my family history we die very young, so this is a gamble. Here we go ill over ball the quote to 150 Usd a month that Ill have to pay for her, for 100,000 return if she dies before the 20 years is up. again a gamble. so ill have to pay 36,000 USD over the course of those years. How are they making any money from that?

P.S dont call me a troll when you are also in a sig campaign

Well... don't know much about the healthcare sector in UAE / Hong Kong, but I can say with confidence that the taxes in Singapore are at the same level as those in the US. The only difference is that the Singaporean government prevents the medical sector from getting too much exploitative.

Singapore has way more economic freedom; income tax in S ranges from 0 to 20% compared to 10 to 39.6% in the US and the marginal rates don't go up for way lower incomes in S

Everything is priced in when an insurance company makes a premium offer to the consumer. The insurance companies will make (roughly) the same profits off of a 30 year old, non-smoking, female as they would off of a 70 year old male smoker.
There is no such thing as pulling a fast one over on the insurance company (obviously I'm speaking in general, there will always be the occasional outlier).

ok so I did a quote just to show you that you dont know what your really talking, met life quote, Ill over ball it for you
so say my mom is 55 which is true, smoker yes, health is good. 20 year plan. Knowing my family history we die very young, so this is a gamble. Here we go ill over ball the quote to 150 Usd a month that Ill have to pay for her, for 100,000 return if she dies before the 20 years is up. again a gamble. so ill have to pay 36,000 USD over the course of those years. How are they making any money from that?

There are insurances companies in Singapore UAE HK but less government, less taxes and less action of the state on the market

Well... don't know much about the healthcare sector in UAE / Hong Kong, but I can say with confidence that the taxes in Singapore are at the same level as those in the US. The only difference is that the Singaporean government prevents the medical sector from getting too much exploitative.

Compare the average annual medical costs in the US / EU with those in Singapore / UAE / Hong Kong.etc. There is no difference in quality, but the former is almost 5 times more expensive than the latter. And the primary reason is those insurance companies.

Insurance companies are not dumb.

The life insurance usually is to cover the mortgage or working income.

So its great if they purchased it when they were younger 30-50.

But if they are 80 and ask for life insurance... they will not get very far I promise you that.

Also again its the elderly person we are talking. Not their spouse or their children.

What if they have no children and no wife/husband ?

Its sad but it happens alot.

Well im talking about getting insurance when they are in there 40s and 50s, this is the secret of how people make money on there parents I know this jewish lady who did that on her father cause we all know men usually are the first ones to go.

In regards to life insurance: I'm not sure if you're just ignorant or trolling, but either way, I will educate you.
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses with a single goal...to make money for themselves and their shareholders. Some of the highest paid employees of any insurance company are the actuaries. They come out with actuarial tables giving the life expectancy for any particular person with any particular medical history (they are not legally able to make actuarial tables based on race or ethnicity). Insurance companies have access to the Medical Information Bureau and National Prescription database so that a consumer that "forgets" about something on their application, could be properly vetted. Insurance companies are also able to require an applicant to complete paramed exam up to a full physical as a condition of getting the coverage.

Their children and grand-children would benefit out of it. For example, if someone is 83 year old, and believes that his heirs will irresponsibly spend all his wealth if he gives to them in cash and property, would opt for a 10-year mutual fund investment which can't be closed prematurely.

Most people inherit property from their parents when they are in their 30s or the 40s, and not in their 60s and the 70s. The latter part is also doubtful. Most of the people retire after working up to 55 or 60 years age.

I'm pretty sure the last few record holding oldest people on earth were not millionaires. I wonder how big of a factor diet is.

I'm guessing it's not a huge factor. Being wealthy often has an effect of being conducive to a strong commitment to a realm. So you're well-to-do here on Earth, so it's in your best interest to stick around and to try to enjoy it as long as possible.
On the other hand, generally a materially-oriented poor person will think, "there is nothing for me here, and it won't be so bad to move on to something else." This thinking will lead toward more reckless behavior, even if nothing else. In reality such thinking will actually change your being in a very profound way and without any reckless behavior it can create a bad circumstance.
But people are complex. Some very poor people can live for 120 years. A very rich person can die in their 30's or 40's from a drug OD, or from reckless driving in a Ferrari, or from pissing off an immoral business/political opponent and getting a hit put on you, to name just a few possibilities. Some people stick around because they want to see their grandkids, and they'll be damned if they die before then. Then as soon as their grand kids reach 5 years of age, they think, "I'm done here" and die.

Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but there probably is also a correlation between the quality of one's diet and the level of education. Education in turn is correlated with income. But I don't think that can explain the difference between the 91-100% and the 81-90%.

There is another fact though. Most of the self-made billionaires were over 60 years of age (perhaps with the exception of a very few, such as Sergey Brin, Dustin Moskovitz and Mark Zuckerberg). I will admit that there are quite a lot of young billionaires. But most of them inherited their wealth from their parents, for example Albert von Thurn und Taxis and Scott Duncan.

It cost him around $300,000. He wasn't that wealthy, and his entire savings were blown away. Now he is in deep debt. Feeling bad for him.... as he is just 36 y.o.

Another completely logical and more reasonable assumption is that healthier people tend to be wealthier. Maybe they can afford better food, personal trainers, or whatever. They're more likely to be conscious of their body image, too - especially women. It's common for men in high business positions to wear make-up to look their best. Possibly being wealthier, is a result of looking your best, which is a result of better health.

I agree with this. My private medical insurance now costs triple digits per month (that is a lot in Canada). I can't crash on friend's couches any more or borrow their cars because I am older and responsible. I take a couple pills a day now due to heart complications - those cost money. I have more possessions so I need more insurance. I do more on the internet so I pay for a private VPN.

Luckily in my occupation they want someone older and wiser rather than younger and cheaper.

In short, yes.
Those with stable incomes and dual incomes are able to set aside a portion.
Over the years it compounds and starts adding up.
After a while you look at the statements and think, 'wow, it really has been worth it'.

No of that is to say that a person should not enjoy their money when they are able. My wife and I go on 1-2 vacations every year. We could very easily just add it to out retirement, but feel we will enjoy it more no and we work so hard to be able to enjoy what we earn.
