Finance shouldn't be the measurement of everything

Life is a cycle where similar things repeat again and again, but each time humans play a different role in life. In the beginning, one plays the role of a baby. The little ones grow up, become young, then adults, become fathers, and after becoming fathers, the same thing starts with the children. That's how life cycles go, but we never get the chance to play a role twice in a lifetime.

If life permits, then everyone will be old, and it's a natural thing, but in that time the energy of old humans can't support working, and they need to retire from work as well as they can't make financial contributions to the family. So do you think when they retire they should be sent to retirement homes in their old age? What's your opinion about it? I am going to discuss it.

I think finance is the most important thing in the life of humans. Without good financial backup, thinking about a happy life is very difficult. In fact, without financial backup, nobody can be happy, and I agree with it. At the current time, the inflation rate is very high, and maintaining financial things has become difficult. So, when a person retires, it may create financial pressure on the family. It's the harsh reality that doesn't matter if someone loves to accept it or not. But I don't think they become a burden to a family. I am giving examples to my family.

At the current time, my father mostly takes care of financial matters. He will be retiring soon, and he won't earn money for my family. Does it mean my family will face a financial crisis? I don't think so. Within a short time, I will get a job, and I can take responsibility for financial things. So from a financial perspective, there will be no significant change. Again, I don't think to send my father to a retirement home for it because I can take care of my parents well. I think the relationship cannot be compared with the financial thing. If it was like that, my parents would leave me because I didn't make any financial contributions to my family in my first 20-22 years. They would not spend lots of their money on me if they thought about profit and loss. That means I was not a burden for my parents. In their old age, I think it's my opportunity to take care of them and return a little favor they shared with me since childhood. I think it's called love between parents and children. So, my parents won't be a burden to me no matter how incapable I will be in the future.

Again, just think about the future. I will get married someday, and I will be a father, and my parents will be grandparents for sure. The bond between grandparents and children is quite good in most cases. My father can give unconditional love to my child, and it is very good to make my child's childhood lovely and enjoyable. It can't be compared with the financial thing because nothing and nobody can give the love of grandparents.

Again, I think the life experience of my parents is something that will stay with them all the time. I am sure many times I will need their help when I face trouble, and they can help me through their life experience.

Except for some exceptions, I think ungrateful people can leave their parents in their old age. I think it's better to keep a dog rather than have an ungrateful child who leaves parents. At least the dog doesn't leave the owner. Fortunately, in my country, there is not such a culture of leaving their parents in their old age.
