Last night, I was embarrassed to give my grandson New Year's money!
In the past, when I went to work, I had a salary plus a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan a year, not only giving my grandson 5,000 yuan on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, but also giving my grandson 5,000 yuan before going to school at the end of the summer vacation, and I had the right to subsidize his school expenses.
Now that I am retired, although the pension is more than 6,000 yuan per month, not only to support the daily expenses and favorites of the family, but also to subsidize the medical expenses of my wife and me, and also want to take my wife out to travel once a year, if I continue to give my grandson more than 10,000 yuan according to the previous standard, my current income and expenditure are basically balanced, and it is a "whole body" in a year, and there is almost no balance.
I used to think that now my son has been working for many years, the salary level should be relatively high, and I don't need my financial support, just give my grandson 2,000 yuan from this year, but 5,000 yuan for so many years, and now the standard has been suddenly lowered, what will the grandson who has gradually grown up think?
What will the son and daughter-in-law think? Will all my previous efforts be wasted? I felt conflicted and entangled.
In the past, when I gave my child, my family was very happy, but now that the standard has suddenly been lowered, I feel the faint unhappiness of my family.
When you retire, your income decreases, and naturally everything else decreases. This time and that time. You can't hold it up.
Have you ever encountered such a situation?
