QUOTE(Kirk @ Jul 27 2007, 11:09 AM) 
I always thought if you got that old, rich and worthless, you'd want to give back to a world you will soon be leaving, especially after having taken more than your share.
That would be a concern for someone who is in the 7th to 8th stage of his psychosocial development.
QUOTE
Stage 7 (Middle Adulthood)- Generativity vs. Stagnation
* Generativity is the concern in establishing and guiding the next generation.
* Simply having or wanting children doesn't achieve generativity.
* Socially-valued work and disciples are also expressions of generativity.
Stage 8 (Late Adulthood/Old Age)- Ego Integrity vs. Despair
* Ego integrity is the ego's accumulated assurance of its capacity for order and meaning.
* Despair is signified by a fear of one's own death, as well as the loss of self-sufficiency, and of loved partners and friends.
* Reviews life accomplishments, deals with loss and preparation for death
You're precocious, Kirkles.
A shitload of people seem to get stuck trying to resolve the 4th stage.
QUOTE
Stage 4 (school-aged Child) - Industry vs. Inferiority
* To bring a productive situation to completion is an aim which gradually supersedes the whims and wishes of play.
* Tries to develop a sense of self-worth by refining skills
* The child can become a conformist and thoughtless slave whom others exploit.

I think that's probably how you get rich, old, and worthless.
