Many post-50s and post-60s people, do they find that they have a unique charm? Although he has entered his sixties and seventies, he should theoretically be very open to life and should be a little better for himself. But in fact, they behave very differently when it comes to treating their families and themselves. Although they have enough retirement funds and save more than even young people, they are almost stingy in personal consumption.
Take my aunt and uncle as an example, my uncle is a retired teacher who receives a pension of more than 6,000 yuan a month; My aunt is retired from the enterprise and has 4,000 yuan a month. Overall, their monthly income is around 10,000 yuan.
However, when their son bought a property, they did not hesitate to give 350,000 yuan to support; The son bought a car and started a business, and they generously donated 120,000 yuan again. Every festival, the red envelopes for grandchildren are not spared a lot of money, the amount can be easily given from yuan to 10,000 yuan, and the various needs of grandchildren are even more lavish, even the expensive durian is not soft. And all this, in stark contrast to their excessive stinginess towards themselves.
When it comes to daily expenses, they are thrifty in their lives. Buying a bottle of mineral water for 2 yuan requires repeated thinking. Resolutely do not take a taxi when you go out, walk or choose public transportation; When remote places can't be reached, they ride old electric vehicles. For personal wear, they will buy dozens of yuan of clothes on Pinduoduo, and short-sleeved clothes in summer are even only 50 yuan for two. And the grandson's clothes are specialty store brands, as high as two or three hundred yuan.
Equally cautious when it comes to eating, eating out is seen as a luxury, preferring to go home and cook for yourself. Even in the hot summer, they are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, only use the fan, and even if the children go home, they turn it on briefly and turn it off when they leave, so as not to waste electricity.
On the whole, this generation of elderly people is extremely generous and generous to their families, but they are unusually stingy with themselves. In fact, in old age, you should treat yourself well and truly live for yourself, because if you can't even know how to love yourself, who will know how to cherish it?
