There are many old people who have a pension of four or five thousand a month. Why are they still working?

There are already four or five thousand pensions every month, and there are three reasons for going out to work. First of all, they are really short of money; Secondly, they are not short of money, just want to have some fun; Finally, they want their lives to be more meaningful.

First, the retirement age is 60 for men and 55 for women. At this age, you can support a family. Although there are four or five thousand pensions, with the improvement of living standards and rising prices, these thousands of dollars are simply not enough for a month's living expenses. Some children may have to go to college or buy a house, which is really not enough. If you don't go out and look for a job to make money, you are likely to have a hard time.

Secondly, it is also possible that these retired people, whose children are married and have children, do not need their help to take care of their children and are bored at home. If they go to work, they may be able to chat with other colleagues and tell jokes, so that the old people will not be so lonely. They don't work for money. After all, their pension of four or five thousand yuan is enough to support themselves. In addition, children will also give them lucky money during the Chinese New Year holidays, and the material needs are completely sufficient. But usually their spiritual needs are not met. So, go to work and have some fun and add some luster to your life.

Third, we all say that life should be meaningful, and people are interesting when they are alive. Once a person reaches retirement age, he has experienced all the ups and downs, and the rest is the pursuit of life and the pursuit of meaning in life. Everyone is looking for different meanings. Some people think it is a meaningful day to get up early to run in the park, exercise and talk about life with like-minded people in the park. And some people think that the meaning of life is to work, realize their own value and repay the society.

So everyone's situation is different, and the reasons will be different. For the burden of life, you must make a choice; There are also choices made for the fun and meaning of life.
