People are born to overcome tribulations. They say that traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is not easy, but life is even more difficult than studying for Buddhist scriptures.
Life is a process of overcoming disasters, but some people make a false alarm; some people cannot escape the disaster; some people survive the disaster.
From the moment they are born, everyone is going through tribulations and doing life lessons; some people may need to finish elementary school, and some may need to study for a postdoctoral degree. In reality, everyone takes different courses to a different extent. Once they have completed their homework, they will be complete.
Why do we have to work so hard?
The purpose is to live a peaceful life for the rest of our lives and live every day smoothly; the purpose is to prevent the people we love from suffering and being burdened.
So what hardships do those born in the 1960s and 1970s still need to overcome before retiring?
01: The first one is money robbery
Now the post-60s and post-70s will face many problems. For example, when children grow up, they need to start a family and start a business. To start a family and start a business, they need to buy a house and a car.
Building a house or buying a house, a car, betrothal gifts, and getting married all require a lot of money. Of course, I still need to support myself in my later years, and I also need some money to help.
In reality, most people work hard and hurriedly just to make a few taels of money. But it is these few taels of silver that can solve the problems in our lives.
However, in order to make more money, some people were introduced to online gambling by strange WeChat friends in the name of investment, and recharged and placed bets on certain websites, only to be cheated again.
Some people were deceived when they filled in their bank card number incorrectly and needed to pay an unfreezing fee when taking out an online loan.
Some people speculated in stocks and futures. Not only did they not make any money, they also lost money. As a result, problems at home that needed to be solved with money could not be solved smoothly.
There are also people who, in order to make money quickly and for free, listen to others and join MLM organizations. As a result, they are involuntarily unable to turn back.
There are also people who engage in PTP and virtual currencies, but in the end their capital is defrauded.
In fact, most ordinary people's wishes are very simple, and they do not expect to make a fortune; rather, they just hope that their family can live a good life in peace.
In life, money is something we pursue all our lives. We cannot escape or avoid it, but it is also the most vulnerable to various disasters.
02: The second is the calamity of health
The most precious thing in a person's life is not gold and silver, but health.
Buddha said: Living in this world, everyoneโs life is colorful and has their own unique story. Everyone has to go through the cycle of "birth, old age, illness, and death" throughout their lives, and no one can escape it.
Since ancient times, everyone hopes that they will always be healthy, safe and have a long life. However, health calamity may be the most severe and common test that a person suffers in this life.
Health is a person's most important asset. If a person's health is gone, everything is in vain.
Some people can survive the danger and finally save their lives. Even if some people have assets worth hundreds of billions, they cannot escape health threats. Therefore, no matter how hard you work, you must pay attention to rest and put health first in your life.
Health disasters are inevitable disasters that cannot be avoided for rich or poor people.
If a person wants to stay healthy, he must adjust his mentality, learn to adjust his work and lifestyle, achieve a balance between work and rest, develop a positive attitude towards life, maintain a good enterprising spirit, and not be a low-quality striver. Let struggle carry the tired figure on its back.
03: Manage money wisely and accept your mediocre self.
Bill Gates said that spending a sum of money wisely is as difficult as earning it.
In reality, we mostly get rich through hard work, work hard, and save money, but we ignore how to manage money reasonably.
An ancient saying goes: "At forty, there is no confusion; at fifty, one knows destiny."
However, those born in the 1960s and 1970s should be self-aware and know what they can and cannot do. Don't always trade your health for money, let alone make high-risk investments.
In the book "Learn to Spend Money", there are two reasons. One is that we do not know the method of reasonably inferring the value of money. Second, we have not established a way to deal with uncertainty.
Most people follow the trend. If others make money by buying houses, you will buy a house; most people will lose money by trading in stocks, so you will not buy stocks.
When people grow old, they not only have to accept mediocrity, but they also have to accept the mediocrity of their children. No matter how much money you have, you must protect your health and your family. Don't compare with others, be filial to your parents, and be responsible to your children according to your own abilities.
Then, according to your own lifestyle, wait calmly for the arrival of old age.
Of course, there are some people who can buy and buy in order to enjoy a high-quality life. But you can't do whatever you want. You cannot be manipulated by money or be a slave to money, but you must control it and learn to manage money rationally, which is the foundation for making money in a good way.
