Seeing the lifestyle of many retired friends, there is always a sense of déjà vu. It turns out that after retirement, everyone's lifestyle is actually the same. These similar lifestyles are especially evident among retired men.
I've found that most retired men basically live the following lives!
Life will be more frugal, unless it is really necessary to spend this money, otherwise it is generally not to spend money indiscriminately.
Of course, thrift is also a virtue, saving a little is not wasted, which is also a good habit worthy of affirmation, but if we compare the old with the young, we will find that the elderly are really generally more thrifty.
Look at young people: clothes that cost hundreds of dollars a piece, sometimes they don't fit on a few times and then they are thrown there. A mobile phone worth thousands of dollars will be used for a while, and some people may plan to change to a new phone after the new model is released. I am willing to drink a cup of coffee for more than ten or twenty yuan, and I am willing to drink milk tea for a cup of ten or twenty yuan.
But let's go back and look at the elderly: mineral water for one or two yuan is not necessarily willing to buy, but more at home to boil boiled water to drink. Clothes, you can wear them, even if the old ones are good, as long as they don't break holes, you really rarely buy new clothes. Not to mention mobile phones, like the old people's machines, mobile phones that cost hundreds of dollars can be used for several years. In contrast, the elderly are indeed quite thrifty in many ways.
If the child has already given birth, it is generally necessary to help the child take care of the child.
Young people have their own jobs to be busy, whether they are sons and daughters-in-law, or daughters and sons-in-law, after they give birth to children, it doesn't take long for them to go out to work and earn money.
Although from the perspective of young people, if they have time, their children will definitely prefer to take care of them themselves, and they don't want to hire a nanny or leave them to their parents to take care of. It's a pity that it costs a lot of money to hire a nanny, and ordinary people may not have this strength. So if you are busy earning money, then the children can basically only be taken care of by their parents.
Therefore, for parents, if they have nothing to do after retirement, they will generally help their children take care of their children. Although it is quite tiring to take care of children, as grandparents or grandparents, many people still want to be able to hold their grandchildren.
I don't care too much about my appearance, and I will dress casually, but if it's winter, I usually wear a hat before going out.
It seems to be a very common phenomenon for older people to wear hats. It's summer, and there are fewer people wearing hats. But from autumn onwards, after the weather gets a little colder, especially in winter, it is really common for old people to go out and wear hats.
I didn't understand why so many elderly people could be so uniform and wear hats when they went out. It's not until now that I'm getting older, and now I know how to understand it.
Although after getting old, many people don't care too much about what they wear, but the hair is almost gone, they are bald, and even there are a lot of gray hairs, wearing a hat will indeed have a better image, plus the elderly are also more afraid of cold, if it is winter, wearing a hat can indeed better protect against the cold and keep warm, after all, the man's body resistance is relatively poor, in case of cold, or blown cold by the wind, it is not good.
When I was young, I didn't want to hand over the money to my daughter-in-law for safekeeping, but when I got old, I wanted to let my wife take care of it.
It is undeniable that in men's hearts, different ages really have different views on money. When I was young, the reason why I didn't want to give my money to my daughter-in-law for safekeeping was that some people were worried that their daughter-in-law would not be able to control the money and would be spent by her daughter-in-law. Coupled with the high divorce rate, I am also worried that in case of divorce, this deposit is not easy to handle.
And if you let your daughter-in-law manage the money, your pocket money every month is often limited. If you want to buy something, I'm afraid you have to reach out and ask your daughter-in-law for money.
But it's different when you're old, after all, you're already an old husband and wife, and it's basically impossible to divorce at this age. And when his daughter-in-law is old, she basically won't spend money indiscriminately. Therefore, after retirement, it is quite reassuring to hand over the money to my wife for safekeeping. And if my wife takes care of the money for us, we won't have so many things to worry about.
For people who are more homely, after retirement, they really don't have any friends, and they usually spend most of their time alone.
For people who are more homely, they don't have many friends when they are young, and if they retire, they don't have many friends, although a person sometimes feels a little lonely, but he doesn't need to deal with others alone, and there will be a lot less troubles in comparison.
