Many people think that when a person retires, he can arrange his life according to his own wishes. They no longer need to squeeze buses during rush hours and rush to work in the wind and rain on windy and rainy days.
They no longer need to look at the leader's face and struggle with their colleagues every day. There is no pressure of work, and there will be no physical discomfort caused by heavy work.
They can travel, square dance, go shopping and do all kinds of things they like. However, is life after retirement really as pleasant as everyone thinks? Did you hear what people said?
Aunt Wei:
I am 55 years old and have retired for five years, but I have never taken a day off. Five years ago, my monthly retirement salary was 1700 yuan. Although it will rise every year, it is only a little over 2000 this year. This money is not enough for my own living expenses, let alone saving money.
My wife will retire next year. After he retires, his pension is not expected to be much higher than mine. Our son is getting married next year. We owe a lot of money to buy a wedding room for his son.
After retirement, I got a job to help clean up the dishes at the breakfast stand. I only need to work for half a day, and I can earn two thousand yuan a month. In contrast, I feel very satisfied and intend to work until I can't move.
The only drawback of this job is that I have to get up at five o'clock every morning. The weather is warm and fine, but in the cold winter, I become a family with difficulty in getting up. My heart trembles at the thought of leaving the warm bed and going outside in cold weather.
But even if it is difficult, I will persist. The motivation to support my persistence comes from hundreds of thousands of foreign debts and the pressure of providing for the aged. It is really difficult to take good care of the elderly with my wife and my little pension.
Our son is just a part-time worker. It is very good that he can support his small family without our subsidy. It is impossible to expect him to provide for our old age.
Although I retired, I didn't enjoy the leisurely life of retirement. I don't blame anyone but myself. If my pension is five or six thousand yuan, I don't need to continue to earn money after retirement.
After his wife retires next year, he will also find a job. He panicked when he said that he had no money in his pocket. We ordinary people can't rely on anyone. We can only be diligent, earn more money and save more money to feel safe.
Uncle Wan:
Although I am seventy years old, I am still not idle. I have been retired for ten years and have been guarding a factory. The biggest advantage of this job is that it doesn't require physical strength. Although we can only take one day off every week and go home one day that day, my wife and I don't care about those days apart.
I have a pension of more than 6000 yuan every month, which is not small. Besides, my wife has a pension of 4 thousand yuan, and the two of us add up to more than 10 thousand. Although we don't spend money, the concept of working people is deeply rooted. If we don't find something to do for ourselves, we will feel uncomfortable all over.
Although my wife didn't go out to work after retirement, she has never been idle. After taking care of her grandson, her daily life is busier than mine. But even though she is busy every day without touching the ground, she is still very happy.
Isn't that what people do when they get old? If you have money in your hand, you can not panic. If you have more money, you can help the younger generation. As long as we see our children living a stable life, it is our greatest happiness for the elderly. Although I am seventy years old, I still have no idea of going home. I intend to live and work until the day when my boss fires me.
My wife is my good wife. She saved every penny I earned. Her pension is used for daily expenses, and the extra money can be used to supplement my children. We have saved 800,000 yuan, and now we are moving towards10 million.
Others say that we can't stand it, that we haven't had a good day after retirement, that we don't know how to travel, and that it would be nice for the couple to visit the park hand in hand and raise flowers on weekdays. They say that we are misers, we can only earn money but not spend it, and our lives are too worthless.
Although my wife and I have never traveled or enjoyed a high-end life, our sense of happiness is not worse than others. Everyone's pursuit of happiness is different. My wife and I have both experienced hardships and know what is the most precious.
Our happiness is that we have money in the passbook, food at home and children's safety. This is the whole source of our happiness. Looking at the increasing amount in the passbook every day is the greatest happiness in our life.
