Uncle Wu is an old man who has been retired for five years and can receive a pension of 3,000 yuan a month, but he always feels that this money is not enough. He owns a house, and his daughter is married, and he wanted to take him to live with his daughter, but he refused. During these five years, he has maintained a colorful life, traveling, buying clothes, and cooking, spending quite a lot, resulting in a continuous decrease in savings. His daughter asked him if he needed money, and Uncle Wu said he didn't. But the reality made him have to rely on his daughter's help, which made him feel helpless. Ten years of life is like a dream, and Uncle Wu has been retired for five years. Compared with his neighbors, his pension can be said to be quite good, and he can receive 3,000 yuan a month. However, Uncle Wu always felt that this money was not enough. He has a house, his daughter is married, and once his daughter wanted to take him to live with her daughter, but he refused her kindness. He never thought of relying on his daughter's help, believing that his retirement and savings were enough to cover the expenses of life. In the past five years, Uncle Wu's life has been colorful. He travels every year, and his savings are dwindling due to various expenses.
In addition, he does not save three meals a day at home, even if it is breakfast, he will go to the breakfast shop outside to eat, and it costs a lot every day. He also likes to buy clothes, and in the winter he buys several pieces, each of which is worth a lot of money. He also paid the property fees, water, electricity, and gas bills of the house he lived in, and these expenses were quite a lot over the course of a year. His daughter once asked Uncle Wu if he needed money, but he always felt that he had enough pension and savings and didn't need his daughter's help. However, the reality made him have to rely on his daughter's help. He was spending more than he could budget, his savings were getting smaller, and eventually, he turned to his daughter for help, begging her to let him live on his own again. Uncle Wu's story teaches us that retirement does not mean retirement, and we should still strive to maintain a positive attitude towards life. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your financial management and arrange your expenses reasonably to avoid falling into financial difficulties. The most important thing is that we should learn to accept the help of others, especially family members, and not be overly proud and reject their kindness. Because, at all times, we need love and support. I'm retired, thinking that I can live a leisurely life in the future. But I unconsciously fell into the quagmire of "profligacy".
I talked to someone, but I didn't tell my daughter, even though the other party has no pension and only 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses, I still let her not have to pay a penny. The days we live together seem to be pleasant, but in fact the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. I no longer make breakfast every day, eat out, travel more, and give red envelopes to children, etc. Seeing this, my daughter blamed me a little and made me start to reflect on my actions. In the end, I ended the relationship with that object, and I spent all my savings, and I could only live on a pension of 3,000 yuan a month. When my daughter came back, she pointed out my problems, and after reflection, I realized that my previous life was not so "profligate" and I needed to regain the virtue of frugality. Give me 2,000 yuan a month?My daughter's words made me ponder. I began to reflect on my life over the past few years and wonder if I really needed so much money to make ends meet. As the years went by, I gradually realized that I didn't need to live a luxurious life, I just needed to live a simple life, to live an ordinary and happy life. This proposal from my daughter gave me an opportunity to re-examine my consumption Xi. Uncle Wu only has a pension of 3,000 yuan a month, but he always feels that it is not enough.
It seems to be Uncle Wu's problem, but it is actually a problem with his attitude towards life and consumption concept. For example, when traveling, Uncle Wu should consider it according to his income level and choose a travel method that suits him, rather than chasing a luxurious travel experience. Another example is breakfast, Uncle Wu can make it at home, which can not only save money, but also stay healthy. For a man, enough clothes are enough to wear, and buying too much is just a waste. Uncle Wu should learn to control his shopping desires and avoid blind consumption. In addition, Uncle Wu talked about an object, two people live together, they should support each other, and the other party should also contribute part of the living expenses, instead of blindly relying on Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu's generosity also made him the wronged leader of others, and he gave his daughter a red envelope every time, which would only make him fall deeper and deeper. The daughter is right, for Uncle Wu, a person's life does not need to cost so much money. As long as he can plan his spending reasonably and stop spending as he used to, he may be able to save some money every month. Through this reflection, I realized that I should pursue a simple and fulfilling life, not material prosperity. Give me 2,000 yuan a month?
This sentence made me think and gave me a chance to re-examine my consumption Xi. I decided to change my lifestyle and pursue a simple and fulfilling life. I want to say goodbye to luxury and waste and welcome a new life of frugality and order.
