Correct me if I’m wrong but the saying comes from the responsibilities people have at different ages and not a hard and fast rule. When you’re young you’re likely more progressive and you’re not the one having to work and worrying about how far you can stretch a dollar. When your older you’re more conservative because you’re having to work and pay for all your expenses which at that point you want less government taxing you to pay for liberal shit.
Edit: Liberalism of the past and what’s today are different today’s Liberals are extreme progressives in disguise. So, I may have conflated the two.
I’m in my late 40s, single, own a house independently, responsible for all my own expenses.
I’ve definitely gotten way less conservative as I age. I don’t rage at paying taxes because I want my neighbors to have nice roads and schools and healthcare and food and food educations even if they’re poor, even if they’re immigrants. Because that’s what Jesus world want me to do with my money: provide for my neighbor.
Yes, I corrected myself in another comment. And I appreciate your contribution to society. But what I was really bringing light to were the radical progressives of today that are making decisions that are leading to the United States, debt, increasing, therefore leading to inflation. Open borders and helping people in need sounds good, but the US cannot feed the world.

I disagree with both your facts and your assessment.
