There's an old saying: "A conservative under 30 has no heart. A liberal over 30 has no brain."

People age, and that includes their personalities.

It's not a great saying, and it is a myth that people naturally become conservative as they age.

It's not a myth. It's a fact. Younger people are more naive and idealistic. Older people are more skeptical and conservative.

I meant politically.

The idea that people naturally veer to the right of the political spectrum as they age is a myth.

Tell that to auto insurance companies
