《At the age of 60, I have a pension of 10,000 yuan a month, and I directly gave my salary card to my daughter-in-law! The 30-year-old daughter-in-law is full of moonlight, but I am very happy".
I am a 60-year-old man with a pension of 10,000 yuan a month. Last year, I gave my paycheck card directly to my daughter-in-law, and she spent all her money every month, but I was happy.
It starts from the beginning. When I was younger, I struggled all my life and finally saved some money before I retired. I hope to create a better living environment for my children and prevent them from suffering as I did when I was younger. The children are also very competitive, and after graduating from college, they have found good jobs.
After our son got married, my daughter-in-law moved into our house. She is a 30-year-old young woman who is beautiful and has a lively personality. I had a crush on this daughter-in-law from the beginning. However, over time, I discovered that she had a habit that worried me a little, and that was that she liked to spend money.
Every month, she buys a lot of clothes, cosmetics and all kinds of luxury goods. Although my son has a good income, they are a little overwhelmed by such expenses. So, I took my son aside and asked him if he knew about my daughter-in-law's question. The son said that he also knew about this problem, but he didn't care too much, thinking that it didn't matter if he spent some money, as long as the family was happy.
I listened to my son's answer, and I felt a little uncomfortable. As an elder, I should help them with this and not put them under pressure on their own. So, I came up with a solution, which was to give my pension card to my daughter-in-law and let her manage the household expenses by herself every month.
At first, the daughter-in-law disagreed, feeling that it would increase her stress. But I stood by my opinion and assured her that as long as she managed her household expenses properly each month, I would be happy. In the end, the daughter-in-law agreed.
Since then, every month, my daughter-in-law will take my pension card to the supermarket and shopping mall to meet the various needs of the family. Even though she runs out of money every month, I'm happy. Because the money she spends is used to make the family live a better life, which shows that she is a responsible and good wife and mother.
Once, I went to the vegetable market to buy groceries and overheard two neighbors talking about their daughter-in-law. A neighbor said, "You see, that woman goes shopping every month with her father-in-law's pension card, and she doesn't know how to save." Another neighbor said, "Don't say that, they take good care of their homes and spend their money just right every month." ”
Hearing these words, my heart warmed. Although the daughter-in-law spent all the money every month, she used the money to buy back the happiness and warmth of the family. As an elder, what am I not satisfied with?
Today, I am 60 years old, and my pension is 10,000 yuan a month. I gave my daughter-in-law my salary card and asked her to manage the household expenses by herself every month. Even though she runs out of money every month, I'm happy. Because I know that every penny she spends is for this family, for a better life for us.
Sometimes, I think, life is like this, we have worked hard all our lives, isn't it just to make our families happy? Now, I have finally made this wish come true, so I feel very fulfilled and happy.
I hope that my story can shed some light on the elderly who are worried about their children's expenses. Don't pay too much attention to your children's spending habits, but focus on whether they are happy in life. As long as our children are doing well, we, as elders, should be happy and satisfied.
Finally, I would like to say to my daughter-in-law, "You spend all your money every month, but I am very happy, because it shows that you are taking care of this family." Thank you for making my old age so happy. ”
