As the saying goes, "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries."
Every step in life cannot be smooth and stable. Setbacks and blows are inevitable. In this life, unsatisfactory things usually account for nine out of ten cases.
In his early years, he had to endure the pain of being humble and embarrassed and starting from scratch; in his middle age, he had to experience the busyness of running around to make money to support his family; in his later years, he would also face a bloody storm.
There is a saying on the Internet: "Everyone's old age is miserable." When people reach a certain age, they lose the vigor and ability of their youth and are no longer capable of doing everything, so they naturally become miserable.
It’s okay to have multiple children in the family, at least each child can contribute something. Of course, the "three monks have no water to drink" thing often happens. But more people are still better than fewer people.
Today’s middle-aged and elderly people mostly only have one child, so their later years are probably full of risks. Especially today, when the pressure of providing for the elderly is huge, it is impossible to provide for the elderly smoothly with just one child.
Putting aside money, what should the elderly do when the elderly are hospitalized and their children need to go to work and have no time to take care of them? In other words, if the old couple encounters a problem and the child cannot be taken care of at all, what should they do?
If you think about it carefully, the small population is actually not a good thing.

has such a case.
Uncle Chen, who is over sixty, fell down some time ago and was hospitalized. Since the child needs 996 and there is no time to take care of the elderly, he can only let his wife take care of him alone.
The relatives around him were puzzled: "Why doesn't your son come to the hospital to take care of you?"
Uncle Chen only replied: "Now that the workplace is severely eliminated, he does not dare to ask for leave to take care of his parents. If it affects his son and loses his job, then we parents will feel bad. Just don't let him come. ”
The relative continued to ask: “Why can’t we hire a caregiver?”
Uncle Chen shook his head and said: "To stay in the hospital here, it costs at least 250 yuan a day to hire a nurse. How can ordinary families like us afford it?" A pension of more than 1,000 yuan a month can't do much.
Before the relatives could respond, Uncle Chen continued: "Now I just broke my bones and have to stay in the hospital for ten days." If I suffer from any serious illness in the future, I would rather not come to the hospital to suffer, and just let God take my fate at home. "After
finished speaking, the relatives and Uncle Chen shook their heads, leaving only emotion and sigh.
When people reach their later years, they have many problems that are beyond the control of ordinary people. There are also some surprises, which are beyond people's imagination and cannot be dealt with by ordinary families.

Uncle Chen mentioned above is actually the epitome of many people. has a low pension, and his children are just salary earners. They work overtime 996 hours a day and have no time to take care of their parents.
What's more, today, the environment is more complex and there are more external problems. Once the elderly become sick and bedridden, what should the children do?
The abilities of a child or a couple are limited. They need to live and take care of young children. How can they take care of the elderly and sick people?
The elderly and children are groups with relatively poor health, and problems may arise if they are not careful. Even if young people have three heads and six arms, they are like Nezha , but they seem to be powerless.
There is a saying on the Internet: "Just running from home to hospital can drain a family's wealth and even make a young couple lie down from exhaustion."
A few days ago, I saw a family. The old man was sick, the couple also had a fever and were lying in bed. Even the two young children had no one to take care of them. It is really not easy.
Many people think that caring for the elderly and living in life are all about Simple problems can be solved with some assets. But in fact, when everyone encounters problems, what does that amount of assets mean?
It can only be said that a grain of sand falling on the heads of ordinary people is like a mountain after all. l2 04 Old people who are only children should be mentally prepared. There is a data, By 2035, the elderly population is expected to reach 400 million. The pressure caused by such a large number of elderly people and such a large elderly care group is beyond the ability of ordinary families to bear. It should be said that "There are too many monks and too little rice" is a real problem faced by ordinary people. . There is such a joke on the Internet, which tells the difficulties of young and old people. In a first-tier city, a couple, two migrant workers, three children, four parents, a monthly salary of 5,000, empty six wallets, seven days a week, a house bought for 8 million, less than 90 square meters, life is very difficult. Just imagine, it’s hard for children, but can it be easy for the elderly? In the face of nature, survival of the fittest is very cruel. Elderly people in small cities or rural areas will feel it deeply. watch I have been to some elderly people in rural areas. Their children have gone to work in big cities and they don’t go home even once a year. Wouldn’t they just end up alone? Perhaps, It is not that children want to leave their parents, but that they have to stay away from their hometown in order to live. In the face of life, all feelings and family affection seem to have become weak. For middle-aged people who have not yet aged, it is time to prepare for the worst. As Mencius said: "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness. ” Only by taking precautions and preparing in advance can we grow old safely. by Shushan Youlu
