To add to what you said I'd also argue it comes with finding financial success while lacking the awareness of how lucky one had to be to achieve that kind of success in life.
-- although lately I have also seen a lot of people that lack the imagination to consider a reality different from what's presented to them by the status quo.
On second thought, that latter point just sounds a lot like Indoctrination.
Yep this. It's a combination of becoming more financially well-off, combined with loss aversion, combined with a sense that the culture starts to alienate you. It's like grandpa simpson said: "I used to be with it. But what was 'it' changed. And now what I'm with isn't 'it', and what is 'it' is scary and strange."
