Terrible title. My first thought was "Having more money makes you physically older."
There are way more informative ways to phrase this that are equally "buzzy." E.g. "The richer you are, the longer you'll live."

There are people whose income have remained at around the same level throughout their lives and their living costs are higher year after year. There are those who work extremely hard towards their dreams and had no success. There are also those who have lost their jobs and their houses because they could not keep up with their mortgages. Age doesn't necessarily translates into riches

Heck no. Companies tend to look for the youngest and brightest these days. And the Older you are the less chance you will be able to keep up with the younger crowd and advance in the field in my opinion. The job market is getting tougher for young adults and seniors so again no I don't think wealth comes with age.

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.

I think it is the other way around. As we get older, our medical expenses will increase, and our ability to work for long hours will proportionately decrease. So.. the net disposable income will decline with age.

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.

It totally depends how smart you work.

I am 32 years old and pay $79/month for my health insurance. Being self-employed, I pay the full amount, but have no issue with the cost.

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 know once incident (one of my close friends) where the insurance company rejected a claim for Kidney transplant. 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.

It totally depends how smart you work. It depends on many things - country where do you live - is perhaps one of the most important points...

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.

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.

All things considered the truth is this isn't the case. If this were the case people would not be in so much debt and the problem only getting worse.
