As we pass the age of 60 in life, this stage is called the "year of no confusion", which symbolizes the understanding of life and the fact that we are no longer bothered by trivial matters. Entering this new stage, we need to re-examine our lives and keep in mind a wise saying: "After the age of 60, we must achieve 'three relatives do not leave, three dollars do not spend'".
1. What does it mean that the three relatives do not leave?
Relatives who do not move sharply.
In life, you often meet some relatives who put their interests first and are indifferent to human feelings. This kind of kinship is not worth continuing to associate with, because in their opinion, the weight of kinship is far lower than the benefit. After the age of 60, we should choose to maintain relationships with relatives who treat us sincerely and avoid getting involved with snobs.
Don't go too heavily with relatives.
When visiting relatives, you should not associate too much with those relatives who value interests too much. Although modern society focuses on individual interests, if interests are prioritized over family affection, it will have a negative impact on kinship relationships. After the age of 60, we should pay more attention to feelings rather than simple financial relationships.
Do not go ruthless and unrighteous relatives.
Although the older generation places a special emphasis on kinship, not all relatives deserve deep friendship. For those relatives who are ruthless and unjust, there is no need for us to waste time and energy. After the age of 60, it is possible to choose sensibly which relatives to keep in touch with, avoiding associating with those who are ruthless and unjust to us.
What does it mean to not spend two or three dollars?
Don't spend money that belongs to the future.
Many seniors have their own savings, which are usually saved in case they are left unattended in old age. But some older people may put their savings aside to support their children. This is not advisable because you may face physical health problems in old age, and having savings can reduce the burden on your children. Giving this money to others can eventually lead to the loss of property.
Don't spend more money than you can afford.
By the age of 60, many have entered the retirement stage and begin to receive state pensions. However, this pension is limited and is paid monthly. Therefore, never spend more than you can afford. Don't overspend just because you have pension support, as this will only increase the burden on your children.
Don't spend money from unknown sources.
When spending, be especially careful not to use money from unknown sources. Especially after the age of 60, you need to pay extra attention to this. Many seniors enjoy playing chess or cards, which is good entertainment in itself, but some may use money as a bargaining chip in these activities. Spending such money can get you in trouble, so be especially cautious at this stage.
After the age of 60, we should pay more attention to the quality of life and know how to let go of those people and things that are not beneficial to us. Maintaining the sincerity of family affection and using money rationally is an important guarantee for a happy life in old age.
