an unverified joke about a scholar

The source list attributes this joke to “the Vilna sage Eliezer”: supposedly, one should give up pleasures and get used to poverty until the age of forty, after which one simply gets used to it. I found no reliable source for that attribution. A version of the joke appears in modern joke collections without naming a sage, so it should not be presented as a verified saying by a particular rabbi. The illustration is AI-generated and does not depict a historical person.
