**WHEN GETTING OLD...**
Getting old, make sure to keep your money. 🌴
In case you crave something, you can buy it right away.
Even if the kids divide and share,
Keep a place for yourself to live in peace.
***
Even if your children and grandchildren are caring,
Having money ensures your freedom. 🍀
Let them handle their own household matters,
Don’t let their struggles drain everything from you.
***
Buy clothes for yourself,
Stock up on food and drinks at home.
If you wake up hungry at night, ☘️
You won’t need to trouble your kids with complaints.
***
In the morning, take a leisurely stroll,
🌴 Stop by the market to buy some treats.
At noon, cook your own meal,
Make soup, braise fish just to keep yourself busy.
***
Live happily, live healthily, live peacefully,
Don’t rely on or depend on wealthy children. 🌷
The money they give when you’re ill,
Accept it and save it for later use.
***
Don’t agree to live with them.
🌳 No matter how good the in-laws are, keep your distance.
Old folks tend to become bothersome,
They might complain or kick you out—then where will you go?
***
Stay in your own home, don’t leave.
If anyone doesn’t like it, let them rent their own place. 🌷
You’ve raised them your whole life,
If they’re filial, enjoy it—if not, you’ll still be fine.
