Born in 1965, I am 60 years old this year, looking at the old people around me who are the same age as me, I suddenly found that we are all old people who are too stupid, and we all have the following commonalities:
Excessive frugality
Like us, the old people born in the 60s, may be caused by the times, we have not lived a rich and noble life in our lives, so it has led to excessive frugality.
Especially for an elderly person like me who has given birth to a son, it is even more troublesome, and I have been working since the beginning to earn money and save money to prepare for my son's future marriage.
So until I get old, I still don't want anything.
1. Reluctance to buy fruit
Just like I have to weigh and weigh when I buy a fruit now, like that kind of cherries, blueberries, durians and other fruits that cost dozens of dollars a pound at every turn, I don't even dare to think about it, I can only buy the cheapest apples, bananas, oranges and so on, these fruits are just beaten, isn't it too stupid to say.
2. Reluctant to leave the hotel
Most of us are reluctant to go to the restaurant, not that everyone is willing to be tired of cooking at home, but that they feel that a meal in a restaurant costs hundreds of dollars, and they always feel that it is not worth it, and they may be able to save half of the money at home.
Therefore, I would rather be tired and do it at home than go to the restaurant, even if the child leads us out for a meal, and still feel sorry for the hundreds of dollars, which is also one of the manifestations of our old people being too stupid.
3. Reluctance to take a taxi
Most people are reluctant to take a taxi, can walk without riding, can ride an electric car without taking the subway, are reluctant to take a taxi until the last resort, and then comfort themselves, walking is conducive to physical health, this is the characteristic of those of us who are too stupid.
4. Reluctance to buy new clothes
We basically pick up the children's leftover clothes to wear, and then comfort ourselves, anyway, no one will see what to wear when we are old, and we don't go out all day at home around the pot table, and the previous clothes can be worn improvised. If you really want to buy clothes, just pick a few cheaper ones on the Internet and just buy a few to wear, isn't it too stupid?
5. Reluctance to change mobile phones
Most of the elderly are reluctant to change their mobile phones, they are willing to change them after three or four years of being stuck and can't be used, and the price is one or two thousand yuan, and some elderly people are not willing to use smart phones even with elderly machines, with only one purpose, just to save money, too stupid, right?
6. Be willing to spend money on your grandchildren
We people are reluctant to eat, we are reluctant to drink, we are too harsh on ourselves, too frugal, but we are quite generous to our grandchildren, buy things for our grandchildren and give red envelopes, no matter how much money we don't blink, but we are not willing to be willing to ourselves, are we too stupid?
I don't care about the body
Another is that we old people don't pay much attention to physical health, and we always feel that we have nothing to do, and we can put it off, and finally drag a minor illness into a major illness.
There are many people who don't even go to the hospital for a physical examination once a year, and when they find out that the disease is at an advanced stage, their lives will enter the countdown, which is also the end of this part of the elderly who do not pay attention to their physical health.
The reason is still afraid of spending money, now it is too expensive to see a doctor, let alone going to the hospital, just take some medicine at the pharmacy, it is often 180 yuan, so everyone doesn't care much about the body, if you can drag it, you can't bear it, so you go to the hospital, and in the end you suffer a big loss, but it's too late to regret it, isn't it too stupid?
I retired and continued to work part-time
There are also some people like me who are also stupid and continue to work after retirement.
I belong to the pension is too small, only 2,000 yuan a month, maybe enough to meet daily life, but as I get older, there will be more and more problems, I am afraid of getting sick and hospitalized, at that time, this money is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, as long as I can still do it, if there is a need for a platform, I still insist on continuing to work and earn some pension money for myself, after all, in our era, everyone has a child, and it is impossible to count on the child, or rely on yourself, will you enjoy the blessings, is it too stupid?
Worry too much about your children's affairs
Another characteristic of our elderly is that they like to worry about their children.
Some even have children who are not too young to marry or marry, which makes the old man feel white-headed.
No way, in the traditional concept of people in our time, it is that children should do whatever they are at their age, and they should get married when they reach marriageable age.
But today's children don't understand the mood of the elderly, they still go their own way and live as they want, but they suffer from the old man's hard work.
There are also although the children have been married and have children settled down, but the old people are still not at ease, especially like some mothers-in-law, who swallowed their anger to help bring the baby, with only one purpose, I hope that my son's life is better, and it doesn't matter if I am tired, in fact, I look back and think about it, what are you doing, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, just take care of yourself.
I don't know how to enjoy life
Our generation belongs to people who will not enjoy life, and it stands to reason that people in their 60s should be open-minded and light-hearted, and should live as they want like young people today, to realize the dreams of their youth, and to wander around to have a look.
But in real life, there are a few people in their 60s like me who can realize their wishes, and not all of them take care of the old and serve the young, but they forget themselves.
This is the characteristic of our generation that is too stupid.
In short, the old people who are too stupid in real life have these characteristics: overly frugal, don't care about their health, continue to work after retirement, worry too much about their children's affairs, and won't enjoy life, I'm still working, and I'm one of them who is too stupid.
