Sequel to the 30 something thread

I thought I'd discuss this with some other contractors and business people who are "of age." I found a guy living on a nice boat in the marina last Sunday and struck up a conversation. He was a former developer in NorCal. He told me that working/building with established money was great. Working with new money in the hands of the 30 somethings was his worst nightmare.

There is a lot of the nouveau riche up that way, but he didn't tell me exactly where he did his development. Just that he was glad to be done with it thanks to the recession.

And that was the way it went as I talked to others, a unanimous decision. So, it seems there might be an invisible division in society unlike the racial or have vs. have nots.

Apparently, I'm not alone in having a hard time with the 30 somethings. But, as you probably read here, I treat people with the same respect as I receive. Which is mostly nil from the youngins'.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go look into retirement housing and a new rocking chair. Maybe a pipe and a lap blanket.
