The reason there’s a lot of good advice for people in 20s/30s is that their problems are so easy, tons of people solve them well enough to produce generalizable value and share. They’re n>1 answers.
40+ you’re lucky if you can half-ass even your n=1 case. They’re n=0.5 answers.

Did you just come to the realization that from this point onward the script presumes you never left big aerospace and should be like managing your 401k? 😁

Fortunately I’ve stayed on top of that particular problem and kept up retirement savings/planning well enough 🙂

I don’t think that would work. I don’t think rich people give good advice to poorer people. Money makes most problemsceasier than mean. Might work with 60+ ordinary survivors of harder-than-normal lives. I’d take advice from a 60+ Syrian refugee but ignore a 60+ millionaire.

Problems for people in their 20-30s are more acceptable/desirable to talk about, like getting a date or having children. Mass media is similarly focused on that generation

Disagree. It's because of the digital divide. We're the first generation digital natives dishing out relevant-ish advice.
Lots of people in 40's online, networked on social Media , able to give advice. Past that, not so much.
Over 50 crowd, buy their book, which skews advice.
