Do you know how difficult it is for the post-60s and post-70s generations to survive to the bottom? Obviously, I have reached the age when I should retire, but I am old and young.
To pull the children who have not yet started a family and support the elderly parents at home, this is undoubtedly a great pressure for the post-60s and post-70s.
Among these post-60s and post-70s, a large part of them are rural people, which is the so-called migrant workers. They are obviously in their 50s and almost 60, but they are still running around the construction site, just to make ends meet.
In terms of age, the oldest post-60s generation is 64 years old, and this age should have retired and recuperated in his old age, but he is still running for life. There are many people in their early 60s around Xiao Ke, who are not thinking about how to support their old age, but continue to farm at home.
Some people may think that now that rural operations are mechanized, and 60 years old is also the age of just retirement, so they can do what they can.
But what everyone needs to understand is that this is not something that 60-year-olds in rural areas can do, nor is it a leisure life after retirement, but something they must do.
If they don't continue to farm and do odd jobs in the city, they will have no money to support their elderly parents, let alone pull their children to start a family.
You must know that there is a lot of pressure on the elderly in rural areas now, and the economic pressure is not something that ordinary families can bear.
First, at the age of 60, the parents at home are already in their 80s, so the elderly will inevitably have some minor illnesses and disasters. Even if there are many siblings in the family, the illness needs to be treated at a cost, so it is a big burden for rural people.
Second, at the age of 60, many children have not yet started a family, especially in rural families with poor economic conditions, and the boys in the family are still singles.
When they think of the bride price of 120,000 yuan, the down payment of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the car money of 100,000 yuan, rural people feel tremendous pressure. If they only rely on farming, where will they get the money to support their families?
Xiao Ke's hometown has a neighbor, the uncle is 67 years old, although the son has already started a family and bought a house in the city, but their life is very stressful.
The son has to repay the mortgage of 4,000 yuan every month, and the monthly income of the son and daughter-in-law is only 10,000 yuan, plus the tuition fees of the two children, so the neighbor uncle can only continue to work hard.
In order to earn more money every year, the neighbor's uncle contracted more than a dozen acres of land, and when the farm was not working, the neighbor's uncle had to go to the city to do odd jobs, so that he could share some pressure on his son at the end of the year.
As for the pension money, the neighbor's uncle pays the minimum base social security, and he only receives one or two hundred yuan per month. And he doesn't have much savings in his hands, and he only has a total of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Once you get sick, the 20,000 yuan is not money at all. Therefore, the neighbor's uncle said that he should save more pension money for himself and his wife while he can still move, so that the children will have no pressure in the future.
After looking at the living situation of the neighbor's uncle, Xiao Ke can only say that the post-60s and post-70s are too difficult. At this age when he could have retired for the elderly, but he is facing such great pressure in life, there seems to be no way out except to continue to work hard.
In particular, rural people who do not have any savings in their hands, but who are old and young, may have a more difficult life in the future. Therefore, how to break this status quo and how to provide for the elderly safely has become the primary problem to be solved.
