I remember going through some of my refrence books. I was deciding which one's to toss. I opened Encyclopedia of Psychiatry (vol. 1 and 2).

The first page I flipped to said, "A man of 50 will not make anymore money than he is currently making in his life." It was just so specific, or I I got the quote wrong? I recall looking at it a few times. It was personally depressing because I was broke, and hitting 50.

To this day, I think about that sentance, supposedly extrapolated from years of statistics.

Well, even though most of the wealthy people I have pesonally interacted with had the likability factor of a boat anchor; Warren Buffet seems like one of the wealthy the others should try to emulate. He is one of the guys I secretly root for.

The man of 50 thing sounds like nonsense. Buffett himself is a counter example.
