Saw an old lady getting out of a BMW X7 M60i (the high performance version). I asked her what made her choose the M60i and she just said “I dunno, the salesman said it was the best one they had”.

Could have fooled me: I’m old and have no money

    Having disposable income these days comes from having the same luck that made boomers millionaires. Not to say it doesn’t involve hard work, but lots of people work hard. The people who get actual compensation for it are either born into it or get very lucky.

    Better to have spent your money in your youth when you enjoyed it properly.

    I didn’t have money then either.

    It's all relative - if you didn't have enough money then you would have starved or died of exposure, so good thing you spent it on food and shelter instead of dying? (Or, you spent all your free time growing food and making your own clothing and shelter - how did you pay the taxes on the land then?)
