How come, I am older and wiser, have a *better* job but am tireder and poorer than ever? Is there some reason for this?

Maybe there's a conspiracy theory that fits this... I work just as hard, if not more so... certainly there's more stress and responsibility.... it's a more respected job... and I am as wise as a wise thing... so something's keeping me poor I think :P  Maybe some secret government agency is stealing all my money and hypnotising me so I don't notice.. maybe I am being hypnotised and made to work twice as long and I don't know it...
