Anecdotally this hasn't been true for me. I spent my 20s barely getting by. In my 30s and early 40s I've had a series of lucky breaks that have enabled me to move into a much higher paying job resulting in luxuries like home ownership, retirement money etc. and if anything I've become more liberal.

I also don't have or want children so maybe that factors in?

Liberals are right wing outside of USA. And in some places in some time conservatives are left. Conservative and liberal is like warm amd soft - they are not opposites. Opposite of conservative are reformists and revolutioners.

Ok, call it whatever you want, I'm not really into labels. For context I believe in universal basic income, socialized healthcare, prison as a tool for rehabilitation instead of punishment, strong government regulations for corporations, high speed Internet access as a state run utility, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't feel like listing out.
