While I agree that it's poor etiquette to brag about your latest toy or vacation home etc., this type of behavior isn't limited to just those over 60. I've had plenty of young guys who couldn't wait to show me pictures of their airplane or tell me about the two vacation homes or how much they made in the stock market last year. While these are sometimes topics that can be brought up in conversation, I find it poor manners to introduce them in the first hour that I've known you. It also makes a person seem insecure in who they are if they can whip out that picture of their airplane like a quickdraw gunfighter. Personally, I'd rather hear about someone's kids.
