I remember being told when I was 15 that I would get more right wing as I got older and earned more money.
15 years later, a Masters in ChemEng and making good money.. I get more and more left leaning every year. 15 year old me was a centrist compared to 30 year old me.
Which is wild as my politics are basically just, whilst governments are given power and money from the people, they have the responsibility to ensure everyone is healthy and educated and using the money given to them by the people to achieve this.
To expand on Healthy that means using revenue generated to provide healthcare, a clean environment with strong regulations on companies that can negatively affect health and ensuring everyone has the freedom to be who they want to be.
Other economic stuff is involved too such as the elimination of private property for use of generating revenue etc.

Me too, I've also experienced the incredibly condescending comments of "Don't worry, when you grow up you'll see the truth and become more right wing" or some variation of that, Lol. And likewise, I started off I would say, as probably a centrist, but as I've grown older, I've grown more left-wing. I would place myself as "left-wing" not far-left or centre-left but in the middle. My current military views are probably more right wing now though as a result of Russia's actions when previously they were left-wing and it has caused me arguments with other left-wingers, Lol.
