Also, in my experience, middle-aged and older people tend to downplay their wealth and not brag about it (why? Not entirely sure).
I think a lot of people have made the observation that old people care less about status than young people. I’m not sure why that might be, but I could come up with some possible evolutionary explanations. My general hypothesis would probably be something like, young people have much more to lose by being low status. They want to get a promising career and have the best romantic partner. For old people, the stakes are lower.
