If one day, your partner is no longer around, how will you spend the rest of your life?
Some people will choose to live with their children because the phrase "raising children to prevent old age" is not just a cliché. After all, they have already dedicated half of their lives to their children, and when they reach old age, they should take care of them.
Some people prefer to live alone rather than disturb their children's lives too much. They may feel lonely and face the inconveniences of life, but they would rather do so than be limited by their children. After all, it's always more comfortable to be in control of your own time and life than to be held back by your children.
After all, when children get married and start a family, instead of bearing the pressure, discomfort, unaccustomed and other bad effects brought by their daughter-in-law or son-in-law, it is better to take root precautions and maintain an independent attitude towards life. In this way, even if there is a marriage relationship, there is no need for the other party to be too close, and they can maintain a certain degree of independence and respect for each other.
If you need help in an emergency or illness, or if you can't take care of yourself, you always need someone by your side. At this time, some people believe that the most important thing for pension is to have sufficient financial resources.
Only with the funds can you enjoy more autonomy and choice.
If you don't want to cause trouble for your children, you can hire a caregiver. If you have enough financial resources, you will be able to face life with more confidence and not have to passively accept unexpected choices.
1: When you are old, you should rely on yourself more than relying on your children
In life, the most reliable support can only be yourself. Regardless of whether you have a wife around you, whether you live alone or not, you must deeply understand the truth of independence and self-reliance. As long as you are fundamentally in control of your own life, you can truly get rid of the shackles and achieve self-transcendence. This sense of independence gives us the strength and courage to overcome any obstacle or hardship.
If we want to be self-reliant, we have to make sure we can trust. At all times, we should be as financially independent as possible.
Many elders have devoted their lives to their children, even willing to use all their savings to help their children in times of need. However, such a practice may affect their personal future plans. We should pay more attention to their own needs and care, as well as their long-term plans for the future.
If your children are filial, that's a blessing to you, but don't be sad if they can't be distracted to take care of you. After all, most people are ordinary people who not only have to support their families, but also face various pressures and challenges, and how to take care of elderly parents is a huge challenge. So please don't expect too much from your children so as not to put unnecessary stress on them and yourself.
In the future, we will face many uncertain challenges.
In order to enhance our ability to bear risks, we must learn to reserve a way out. At any time, as long as you have enough funds in your hands, you can maintain your inner calm and calm. There is no doubt about that.
2: If you have money in your hands, you can not only help your children, but also take care of yourself
I know a neighbor whose name is Grandma Wang, who was a primary school teacher when she was young, so she has a pension since she retired. However, in her late middle age, Grandma Wang became obsessed with travel and spent almost all her money on this hobby to enjoy her life. Sadly, she was not able to leave a penny, and only memories remained.
In her later years, when her only daughter faced financial problems, Grandma Wang was defenseless and unable to give any help. Although her daughter still honors her mother with all her heart, Grandma Wang still regrets that she was unable to help her daughter. This is a pain in her heart, and it has always been difficult to let go of in her later years.
It is also natural for many people to become dependent on their children for life support as they get older.
In modern society, there is increasing pressure on young people. Not only do they have to bear their own living expenses, but they also have to face the huge burden of raising children and taking care of two elderly people. The accumulation of these responsibilities is weighing heavily on young people. We should provide support and help as much as possible to reduce their stress.
They will also face difficulties and bottlenecks in work and life, and these challenges need to be overcome and dealt with.
If the elderly in the family are not only unable to help, but also need to support their children, this will cause more pressure on the children's lives. This is also financially unaffordable.
While this is not quite in line with the mainstream, the truth is that many young people have very wealthy parents who are able to achieve career success faster and enjoy a more stable life.
In fact, most children have to work hard to achieve their goals in life.
It also means that they need to put in more effort and face more pressure. When children are in crisis, the help of parents is not only a small comfort in life, but also a kind of emotional support and comfort.
With abundant funds on hand, the elderly can not only take care of their own lives, but also better protect their rights and interests.
When we are old, sick or in trouble, having a certain financial foundation can bring us a lot of convenience. In this way, we will no longer have to be at the mercy of others, and we will be able to deal with many problems on our own. It is very important to accumulate a certain amount of wealth.
Even if you're in a hospital bed, you don't have to worry about your children not being around by paying for someone to take care of you.
Life in the afterlife, birth, old age, sickness and death, cannot be avoided. We need to prepare for the future in advance and reserve enough wealth to provide more security. Money is a powerful weapon at all times and in all places. Plan your finances to give yourself more peace of mind and move towards a better future.
We should see ourselves as the most reliable companions, because only we can accompany us for the rest of our lives, and only we can experience the world. Let's cherish the time we spend with ourselves and pamper ourselves so that we can enjoy the beautiful journey of life.
