I was generalizing, and in general, the older one gets, the more likely they take the path of least resistance. I imagine the value of money decreases as people age too. Grandfather was sitting on a lot of money and never found something to enjoy it on. His last purchase was a Chevy Colorado 4x4 pickup he paid in cash. That was only after I kept insisting he spend his money on something he would enjoy.

He adopted technology pretty readily though. He had a DVR, was an early adopter of computers and the internet (before I had a computer), and was always sending me articles he had read about neat technology.
