Wonder if there could be a notion of Elder Nation. Past an aggressive growth phase/youth. Maturing/mellowing into more complex middle age. The wealth/success bias is also a youth bias. American 40+ stories seem to be denial-of-aging stories, like John Updike’s Rabbit trilogy.

Been reflecting on wealth and success (in conventional sense, which may involve some combination of wealth, fame, accomplishment, historic impact, etc) lately.
Both are things I am not personally very motivated by. But they are not things I have a problem with either.
