Have you noticed, our old debate, how are they living now? Retired, but life doesn't seem to roll the way they once envisioned. Some elderly people continue to work, either because they don't have enough money or because they can't find a better way to spend their time. And the other part, even at home, life is a little bit better. It's a bit monotonous and repetitive. Let's talk about what this is all about.
First of all, the old men and old ladies who continue to work, do you think they are all because they don't have enough money? Yes, indeed. Those who receive a pension of two or three thousand yuan a month can barely afford to live on their expenses, but if they want to live more comfortably or give their children a better life, they have to continue to go out and find something to do. But don't forget, there are also those old people who have a good income, with a monthly pension of five or six thousand, or even seven or eight thousand. They go out to work, and it's really not for money. They feel too bored to stay at home and want to find something to do to add some color to their lives.
When it comes to connecting with old friends, it's even more interesting. Before retirement, everyone said that they should get together often, and whoever retires should also keep in touch often. The result? I'm really retired, and it was quite lively at first, but slowly, there were fewer parties and fewer chats. Isn't that ironic, you say? As the old saying goes, "people go tea and cool". When you first retired, you may still be a little uncomfortable, but as time goes by, everyone begins to adapt to this new rhythm of life.
And the dream of "the world is so big, I want to see it", hey, this is probably the most embarrassing. Most people have this idea before retirement, and when they retire, they want to travel and see the outside world. However, when you are really retired, you may go there a few times with great interest at first, but you will soon find that this trip is both expensive and laborious, and you are tired and half dead when you come back. So, gradually, they would rather choose to walk in the park in front of their homes, or find a comfortable place to sit, such a simple and ordinary day is more reassuring.
When it comes to the daily life of the elderly, it is really immutable. Wake up in the morning for a run, go to the market to buy some fresh vegetables, and go home to prepare lunch. After lunch, I either watched TV, played with my phone, and took a nap once in a while. In the afternoon, I might go for a walk in the park and watch others play chess or cards. In the evening, I make dinner, and after eating, I may go downstairs to square dance or do simple exercises. This kind of life, although bland, has its beauty.
Taking care of grandchildren is another "duty" of many elderly people. Some elderly people even have to go in different ways to help their children take care of their grandchildren. This kind of life, although busy, is also full of love.
Finally, let's talk about the consumption concept of the elderly. You will find that no matter what their pension is, most elderly people are very frugal and very restrained in their spending, but they are always willing to spend money on their children and grandchildren. This generational extravagance contrasts sharply with budget-consciousness.
Okay, after all that, don't you feel a little emotional? In fact, everyone will eventually grow old, and in the face of various challenges and changes in old age, we might as well understand and support the older generation more. Perhaps, we should spend more time with them, listen to their stories, go for a walk with them, or go on a trip together. After all, love and companionship are the most precious things in this world. Let's pass on love in understanding and make life more exciting for every generation!
