When I was in my teens and early 20's the group I played in two groups. One was a bit more responsible and some had jobs, so the most we played was like Friday-Sunday.  The other was a bit more privileged and 6-7 of us would sometimes stay at one guy's house for 1-2 weeks at a stretch.  Now I manage 4 hours weekly on Thursday nights.  That said, we are discussing players, so everyone in the groups I am talking about plays 5e at least some of the time and to do that they need books, and with the disposable income of those older groups, running out and buying the latest new toy to use in those games is really easy to do.I like the "olds rule, young whippersnappers drool" law! Let me see if I can find that link I posted earlier.  As  you can see, the amount of disposable income in the 25+ age categories is quite significant per household.  Many of those will be multi-income households, though.  For single American disposable income I found this other link.  Even with mortgages and other expenses, most American households will easily be able to afford to run out and buy a $50 book that was just released.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.statista.com/statistics/980324/us-mean-disposable-household-income-age/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://fortune.com/recommends/banking/what-is-disposable-income/[/URL]I find it very hard to believe that the older demographics which make up 60%(25+)-75%(18+) of D&D players(depending on where you are drawing the line) don't spend enough money on the game to warrant a significant portion of the game being aimed their way.</blockquote>
