Everyone's life story is unique, but there are always some common trajectories that run through the years of countless people.
This is what we fight for all our lives.
At the age of 23, I graduated from school and just entered the society. I found that it was different from what I thought. I worked overtime and rolled toilet paper desperately in exchange for a word of praise from the leader and a salary of more than 3,000 yuan. At night, you always think about what is the meaning of work? After working hard for a month, various daily expenses make you a moonlighter. Or do you still fantasize about returning to your parents and being the little emperor of the family?
At the age of 26, after working for three years, my attitude towards work became indifferent, but I still had dreams at this time. My salary gradually increased by several hundred yuan, and I met the other half of my life. This also meant that the burden became heavier. Eating, giving gifts, and playing games every day made it difficult for you to save money.
At the age of 30, you are at the age where you should start a family. You become less naive and think that if you get married, you should at least have your own house and car. These loans make the burden heavier and you feel a little breathless.
At the age of 33, you want to have a baby, but you look at your salary slips, which add up to 10,000 yuan each, and the mortgage and car loan are 7,000 yuan a month, leaving 3,000 yuan just enough for food and clothing. You also look at the four elderly people around you, who are getting older and older, and some medical expenses are inevitable and will even increase.
At the age of 36, your children should start going to kindergarten, and there are various miscellaneous expenses before school, and your pressure is increasing.
I’m 40 years old now, and the mid-life career crisis has arrived. Looking at the newly graduated college students around me entering the workplace, it’s as if I’m seeing my former self.
In the blink of an eye, I am 50 years old and the 25-year mortgage and car loan are finally going to be paid off. However, my children have started to spend all kinds of money and are also preparing to get married. I have to use my life savings to buy cars and houses for my children, and there is not much left.
At the age of 60, you have retired and have almost completed your life goals. You are very happy to see your children come back to see you once a week. In the rest of your life, you will think about your life, mediocrity and prosperity are just passing clouds, and feel that time flies. This may be the life we fight for. I hope everyone can be happier and enjoy every day of life.
