Three words of caution after retirement and the wisdom of being a low-key person
Retirement means a new stage in life, with more free time to spend with family and friends. But in addition to the ease of learning, there are also lessons to be learned. After retirement, no matter how good your income, your children, or your interactions with others, you should be reserved, show off, and distinguish between right and wrong. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance and suggestions for the life of the elderly.
1. Be cautious about the specific amount of pension
Pension is the main income** of most elderly people, and it is related to the quality of life. However, revealing your pension amount can be unnecessarily troublesome. When interacting with people, especially when talking to people you don't know well, it's best not to disclose your pension amount lightly. Because not only can this trigger curiosity in others, but it can also cause unnecessary comparisons or jealousy.
When asked about income, a vague answer is a good strategy. For example, you can say "just enough to live" or "get by", so that you don't offend people and protect your privacy. At the same time, it is also a way to keep a low profile, not to publicize your wealth, and avoid becoming a target in the eyes of others.
2. Talk about your children's achievements in a low-key manner
As a parent, it is natural to hope that your children will be able to make a difference. However, when interacting with people, especially when talking to people you don't know well, don't show off your child's accomplishments too much. Because this may not only cause resentment in others, but also cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.
After all, "there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky", and there are always people who are better than your children. Showing off too much may put yourself in an embarrassing situation, and if your children do not develop as others think in the future, they will be even more embarrassed. Therefore, talking about your children's achievements in a low-key manner will not only avoid embarrassment, but also leave room for yourself.
3. Consider lending money to others carefully
Lending money to others is a big problem in interpersonal communication. Before borrowing money, we need to carefully consider a few questions: How does this person relate to me?What was the reason for him to borrow money?Is there a ability to repay?If it's just for a small thing or if there's no good reason to lend money to someone else, then it's better not to borrow. Because not only can this get you into financial troubles, but it can also affect your relationships with others.
If you decide to lend money to someone else, make sure you have a written loan agreement that spells out the terms of the amount to borrow, the repayment period, and the interest. Doing so will not only protect your rights and interests, but also avoid unnecessary disputes in the future. At the same time, for those who often borrow money from you, learn to say no. Because such people may have developed a habit of dependence, one rejection of yours may be a help to them.
In short, it is a kind of wisdom to be cautious about the above three sentences and be a low-key person after retirement. This not only protects your privacy and rights, but also avoids many unnecessary troubles. At the same time, this low-key attitude also reflects a person's maturity and stability. Let's enjoy our retirement while creating a more harmonious and peaceful living environment for ourselves
