My wife and I are both about to turn 60, and we are still poor.
When I reach a certain age, everyone is talking about the issue of pension, when I think of this, we have no bottom in our hearts, and I don't know if we can have a good old age in the future, and I feel that this year's money is particularly difficult to earn, and my wife has been out for more than half a year, and I have earned less than 30,000 yuan, which makes me very restless.
We are just ordinary people, one has no craftsmanship, talent, and two does not have a stable job, in this era, it is really too difficult for us people who don't know a few words.
Sometimes I often think about the question, now that my health is fine, no matter how much I earn, at least I still have a little income, if I am not in good health one day, what should we do?
Others have at least a certain amount of living security after retirement, but we don't say retirement, because we don't have a stable job and treatment, and we don't dare to imagine a good life after retirement like others.
Every day you live, as long as you are in good health, you must do everything you can to earn money and prepare in advance for the future when you are old and can no longer do it.
But a recent incident made it difficult for me, and I don't know if I can do it like this?
As the end of the year is approaching, many relatives and friends sent text messages one after another, the content of the text messages is roughly the same, basically I will hold a housewarming or marry a daughter-in-law on the day of the month, and prepare a little wine in a certain hotel, and everyone is welcome to visit at that time.
When I thought of this, at least a few hundred or thousands of dollars were gone, which was really a lot of expense for us, and when I thought of my income that I couldn't make ends meet in a year, I got up and took out the bookkeeping book from the drawer of my house, which recorded the share of money we had received over the years, or the money that I had gone out with me.
I asked my wife to get me a calculator, and I wanted to calculate how many unpaid personal debts I still had.
After half an hour of repeated calculations and checks, we found that we had 16 outstanding payments, and 24 of them were unpaid by ourselves.
I plan to do this, I have paid back the money that I have not yet repaid, and I am determined not to lose any points from others, so as to save everyone embarrassment when we meet each other in the future, and how much money can be returned to those who have not been recovered with them, even if I can't get them back, I don't care about these, because my wife and I decided that after repaying the 16 pieces of money owed to people, we will no longer "have favors".
I don't know if this decision we made was right, will it make people say bad things behind our backs?
My wife and I had a hard time making this decision
As we are getting older, no one can say whether the health is good or bad, we can only resign ourselves to fate, in case there is a physical problem one day, there will be no financial resources, and at that time, there is no money in hand, and I don't know what to do in the future.
Now the year's economic income is not much, if you continue to make personal contacts, make this not rich family even worse, I don't want to go on like this, I can save a little more in the future, my wife and I are very realistic people, I don't want to put the rest of my life out of the way for the sake of face.
We don't have a high pension like others after retirement, and my wife and I are estimated to have a few hundred pensions a month when we reach the age of 60.
When we think about it, we just want to spend our energy on earning money, and we don't have more energy to do something inconsequential, and human relations are costly and time-consuming.
And I need to spend energy every day on taking care of the elderly, where to go is really inconvenient, you don't know that taking care of the elderly who are not in good health, will make you have no freedom, every time I go out to buy a vegetable or do something, the moment I go out of the house, the heart is always at ease, every time I go out in a hurry, and after doing things and rush home.
