Then : Age of Innocence
Now : Nas! could you shed some more light on the NWO and the Illuminati?

Education and money:
Then : the more number of years in college, the more money you make.
Now :Right field and experience counts more than anything else to make money. Want to make even more? "Make your own move" as Tony Montana himself put it. But you need a great plan and execution for that.

Money and Sin
Then: Certain school of Buddhism believes the more money you make the more sins you might have committed. Here you have reason to pay equal respect to good people who have not gone up in the world. I think it's true to some extent because you must have heard in movies or in real-life about quick money and dishonesty. Even for high salaried jobs, you might have to lie or play dirty office politics.
Now: Capitalistic view, if you consistently provide products of great value to customers, you will get handsome monetary rewards. This is also true.

Marriage, Happiness, and Sex
Then: Marriage is an insurance for guaranteed sex and is the stepping-stone to happily ever after.
Now : I have been exposed to quotes like "how long can you listen to the same song with the same rhythm and beat without getting bored to the point of suicidal"
If you rape your wife, be prepared for a day in court.
Only right match and mutually-shared dreams may be way to happiness. You must have learnt of news of the surviving spouse becoming the suspect when the other suddenly dies, too.

Lost Opportunities
Then : I will do it next time.
Now : There is NO next time.
