the other day i did put that article into grok and part of its response was:
"the article paints a vivid picture of 1980s yuppie culture: ambition, conspicuous consumption, and unapologetic materialism, with stephen and his girlfriend as *****essential examples of success-driven "dinkys." given the date of the article, stephen would be approaching 69 today, march 16, 2025, if still alive—leaving one to wonder whether his bold predictions of multimillionaire status and early retirement came to fruition."
then it later pointed out:
"black monday, the 1987 global stock market crash, just months after the article’s publication, would later temper some of this exuberance, exposing the fragility of the yuppie dream for many."
