To prove: The product of less work and less stress equals more money later in life.
The month of the Nobel has passed. I don’t know about you, but for me the Nobel month seems to tick me off robustly in the ear when I am popping balloons and being frivolous and wasteful. All nobel laureates are apparently hard-working, have worked all their lives and shall work rather hard till the day they die. Losers!
I shall tell you why I classify them so harshly.
There is a news article that is getting so much attention, it makes us young folks quiver. Think of the facts: I thought I had a system going. Do an honest day’s worth of work everyday as long as your mental and physical faculties allow you to and life will go on. It will take care of you in its own way. When the head needs hair and/or dye and the skin needs ironing and the back needs straightening, we should still be able to eat, live and love. Work now and enjoy the fruits later – Karma Basics 1.
But that is not what the news article tells us. It tells us that older Americans are at least 47 times richer than younger Americans —-> Exhibit 1

There are scores of articles claiming stress has increased and workload has increased dramatically in this generation as opposed to previous generations. —-> Exhibit 2
Putting two and two together, or rather 1 and 2 together; I place before you theorem number 1:
The product of less work and less stress equals more money later in life. [Q.E.D]i.e.Quod Erat Demonstrandum
I have a plan so brilliant in place that I might easily land the Nobel Prize – all I need is for someone from the committee to read this blog.
I just plan to grow old. To occupy the vast amounts of time that I will have at my disposal, I shall jog the odds of getting richer than previously imagined by taking up regular correspondence with those optimistic fellows who claim that I am in the unique position of inheriting what half the country of Lisuavia craves for. I have in my list around two score countries just waiting to tip their wealth into my bank account.
Then when I grow old, I can be 48 times richer than someone in the work force and laugh.
Old = 47 * Young is bit of misleading calculation.
Old people’s home is one of the key reason their wealth is measured high. i.e. if they bought the house for 50K and it is worth 500K, the assumption is they have the house and it will take 30 years for Young person to get that house.
But old generation cannot leave that house.
Having said that..America’s future is definitely something to worry about 😦
Well…what of those who bought their house and lost money on it – to the tune of wiping out their entire savings? What of those people who chose to take an educational loan for that MBA that is supposed to give them a more promising future? What of those who work against their under-graduate loan for the first 10 years before they can start making positive progress again? I think it is all of these that put the younger folks in a worse place than their parents’ generation
