Old Age does NOT equal Wisdom

You are right. Age has nothing to do with it. Most people are unconsciously and compulsively endlessly reenacting their childhood dramas with people standing in, symbolizing their parents or childhood caregivers and living and dying in the emotional prison of their childhoods.

It's amazing how emotionally blind Elon Musk is and didn't see that supporting Trump would be a disaster for him and everyone else. Being on the wrong side of history may pay off in the short term, but eventually, sooner or later, all will come crashing down.

Follow your intuition or listen to your heart. It will guide you through life. Chasing money only is the biggest illusion ever. Very rich and very poor are symptoms of a sick society.

The best way to be emotionally and financially independent is to resolve childhood repression.

I know many people with substantial savings in the bank. Still, they will always end up being poor sooner or later in one form or another because until people resolve childhood repression, they will be going through the vicious circle of poverty, accumulating money and losing it all over and over, if not in the present generation, it will happen in the next one. Only after resolving childhood repression will we be free from the chains of compulsive repetition, and only then can we keep our feet on firm ground. Just as I wrote in my book A Dance to Freedom, page 15, "This is why all of us need a path — or a dance, if you will — to freedom. Once you explore your truth, incredible things can start to happen. Chronic symptoms, mental as well as physical, can start to disappear. As Alice Miller writes, we can “claim health, clarity, and independence for ourselves. Claim them, and maintain them. Only thus can we keep our feet on firm ground, and not be dependent on drugs, gurus, groups, or theories that teach us how to change our past.”5

Good suggestions! When I lend people money. I don't have any expectations of getting it back. I have never been too attached to money or material things. I just like to have enough to maintain my autonomy. 

Yep! They like to make me their scapegoat because I challenge them. But now, the moment they try to make me their scapegoat, I walk away and I don’t look back.
