I am a 58-year-old lady born in 1965, and I will be 60 years old in just over a month.
I am a proper post-60s generation, once upon a time, I also had infinite yearning, looking forward to retiring as soon as possible, living the life of my dreams, looking for poetry and distant places.
But when it really comes to this time period, it often comes true, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
It's not that we post-50s and post-60s people won't enjoy life, but we are stumped by reality to move forward:
Pressed Hammer
A post-60s retiree like me, with a monthly pension of only about 2,000 yuan, how easy is it to find poetry and distance, and to take a trip that is easy to go?
I had no choice but to be shy and insecure, so I could only silently return to the workplace again and live an 8-to-5 life.
Retirement is not called retirement, and going to work is not called going to work, but only retirement and continuing to work.
The generation of the post-50s and post-60s generations responded to the call of the country, a couple and a child, if this child has good economic conditions, then even if the old man only has a pension of more than 2,000 yuan, he does not have to work hard.
But how many children are really qualified? Most of the children are ordinary, that is, a few thousand yuan a month.
It is said that the pressure on children's lives nowadays is quite great, they have to repay mortgages, car loans, children's milk powder money, children's school expenses, etc., all of which are overwhelming the children.
Where does he have the energy and financial resources to take care of his parents?
Therefore, it is impossible for this group of elderly people born in the 50s and 60s to expect only children to support the elderly, so they can only rely on themselves.
Therefore, without the capital to enjoy life, I can only continue to work.
Forced to take the baby
There are also some elderly people who think that after retirement, the pension is not low, and they can take a trip to realize their dreams when they were young.
However, they ushered in their grandchildren, and as a last resort, these old people embarked on a second special position, that is, to go to the child's house to help take care of the baby.
Some old people finally took the older one, and the second child came and went.
After 10 years and 8 years, the babies were brought up, and he was seventy or eighty years old.
So, it's not that we won't enjoy life, but we've been slapped in the face by reality.
Today's young people, unlike our era, gave birth to children and brought them by themselves, anyway, if there is a nursery in the unit, it doesn't matter if they put it there.
But today's young people have to hire a nanny without the help of their parents.
is also forced to be helpless, only parents help more assured, so parents have almost no right to choose, must take on this task, duty-bound, can not sit idly by, tired and happy.
Forced to care for the elderly
The old people in the fifties and sixties, if their parents are still alive, are all old people in their early 80s.
Parents are not far away, and there is no way to find poetry and distant places.
Because, if the parents are in good health, they are a little better, but they are also afraid of accidents, so they dare not go out to travel without permission.
If your parents can't take care of themselves, let alone go on a tour. I immediately went to work again to take care of my parents.
Some people can't even survive their parents, so they break down and get through it.
So, it's not that the old people in their fifties and sixties won't enjoy it, but that reality doesn't allow it.
Except for himself
The elderly in the fifties and sixties had little pension, and they went out to work without a baby, and they should work part-time, those who should take care of their children, and those who should take care of their parents.
When the platform abandoned us, we couldn't work, we brought up the baby, and our parents sent us away, and we ourselves were old, and we didn't have the physical strength to travel, let alone the interest in playing. This life ended tastelessly
Therefore, the post-50s and post-60s generation is the strongest and most selfless generation, not that we ourselves will not enjoy it, but that we are stumped by reality.
If the pension is low, you have to work part-time, subsidize your children, and earn pension money for yourself at the same time. The grandchildren should help their children to take care of the baby. When your parents are old, you have to take care of them.
When all the tasks are completed, I will be old and unable to walk, so I will honor the old and take care of the young, but I will forget to love myself.
Friends of the post-50s and post-60s, whether you are working or taking care of the baby, or taking care of the elderly, remember not to forget to love yourself, don't forget to eat something good, drink something good, and use something good.
People only have this life, don't wait until you lie in bed, life can't take care of yourself on the day, it's too late, don't leave regrets in our lives, live well!
