I smile at the younger woman, hoping that she is aware that one day, as she climbs the career ladder and grows her income, she could have a property like this too. I’m just older than her, so I’m a little ahead. She has the advantage of fewer years taking their toll on her body, but I have the advantage of having more years to have earned a wage. She’ll catch me up eventually, and when she does, she’ll probably long for the days when she was poor yet young and energetic again.
