Um, I take it that ‘aging out’ is sorta like politicians ‘terming out’ with term limits? So they have to rotate into some other area or level of government to have a job for another while. Governor becomes mayor, senator becomes a rep, etc.If it actually helped against corruption, that might be good, but it doesn’t! The roots of corruption are still the same, and the need for gobs of money to get the job (millions for a 100K job) are most of it.Trophy wives are good for what ten years, before they start looking like grown-up women, and need replaced? Again, the selection criteria need work!
Apparently the trophy wives “age out” when they no longer turn Jimbo on. He can’t see that HIS withered masculinity makes a young woman feel undesirable even though she tries to please him. Better for her to forget about his money and leave him before she loses her sexual confidence and self-respect. Men who choose trophy wives are never going to find a woman they can be proud of for the rest of their life.
See the movie “Bad Teacher” to watch an example of a character who actually aspires to be a Trophy Wife. No matter how good looking they are, the fact Jim keeps marrying and dumping women who are most likely basically sociopaths doesn’t speak well of him. Colleagues probably privately think Jim’s a joke – but money is a good insulator.
(Also, messy private lives often spill over into other areas – something for Buffett to consider regarding Jim.)

100 million jackpot this Friday. If I win it I’m going to age out my wife.

I tried to look up Jim Andrews and figure it is just a made up character.

Jim has so much money than he knows what to do with, but it’s clear what he does NOT want to do with it.
