When you were young, what were you afraid of? I'm afraid that I won't have a chance, I won't have time, and I won't be able to make money.
When you are old, what are you afraid of? I'm afraid that I can't work, I'm afraid of getting sick, and the money has been spent before I leave.
A 42-year-old, middle-aged netizen said that although he currently has 3 million in savings, he is always worried that it will not be enough to support his retirement.
However, since he was hospitalized for a month because of a broken waist, he suddenly felt that 3 million was actually enough.
Because I am really retired, there is not much daily expenses, and the most important expenditure is to seek medical advice, for some major diseases that cannot be spent, such as spending more than 500,000 yuan, as long as I resolutely do not treat it and let it be, the money in the card will not be spent.
In this regard, some netizens said that how much money is enough after retirement is related to one's own desires on the one hand, and family situation on the other. In terms of desire, the desire is small, you can eat and drink enough, do not pursue all kinds of enjoyment, do not blindly believe in various health therapy products, and it actually doesn't cost much money a year.
For example, after retirement, if there is a homestead and a house in your hometown, then after you go back, you can grow some vegetables by yourself and occasionally find some work to do.
The desire is big, you have to eat well, you have to wear well, you have to travel abroad every year, and you have to go shopping in China, and the 3 million savings really don't take a few years. In terms of family situation, if the parents have a pension, the children have started a family, there is no mortgage, car loan, and any arrears, then the number of 3 million can be flattened.
On the contrary, if the parents are rural, have no pension, have no work, and have not started a family, then even if they save three or five million, they will not be able to lie flat. Because I don't know the bottom of my heart, I don't know when my parents will be hospitalized and need money, I don't know if my children will have any trouble one day, I need to compensate others, and I don't know what kind of job the child will have in the future, what kind of family, and whether the money earned will be enough to support himself.
Therefore, in the face of a series of unknown problems, I dare not stop at all, only stick to my job and have money in my account every month, and I will feel more down-to-earth and feel that I can resist potential risks. Doesn't it sound frustrating. Why is this life destined to continue to pay for his family? Why can't you live your life as you want?
No way, that's life.
When I was young, I always wanted to be myself, pursue my own meaning in life, and live a life that was different from the world's definition.
As I get older, this kind of thinking becomes less and less, and I no longer put myself in the first place in decision-making, but begins to think about my parents, my wife, and my children.
A person can live a wonderful life and do whatever he wants, but the meaning of life is defined by himself, and when you think that giving love can also be a wonderful life, you will understand that busy work to make money is not completely meaningless.
Because work allows us to earn money, and then convert verbal love into practical material things, so that parents don't have to worry about having a fixed home, so that wives don't have to worry about not having savings, and so that children don't have to worry about not having shelter.
