As you get older, if you don’t have a lot of money, it’s best to stay less with your relatives.
01
As the old saying goes: "If you are poor, don't go to relatives; if your horse is thin, don't go to war."
Probably, in any era, interpersonal communication is a matter of struggle. It's strength, not favor.
As people grow old, they slowly withdraw from the bustling world and live a leisurely life. Even the elderly who will never retire will find ways to make their lives easier because of lack of physical strength.
You have plenty of time, but you have to see yourself clearly. If you don’t have a lot of money in your pocket, you should go less often to visit relatives.

When a person is poor, giving gifts to relatives will be offensive.
Twenty years ago, my mother shamelessly went to the city to inquire about my further studies.
My mother went to the house of her cousin who worked in the education industry. In order to become familiar with her, she took me with her.
We asked around and stopped at the door of a unit building. The mother was at a loss because the unit building was locked by an iron door, and no one answered the door when she knocked.
After a while, someone came out of the unit building, and we felt like a savior.
My mother pulled me and asked me to call me "aunt".
"These are radishes grown at home and fish caught in the river..." When the mother took out the gift, the aunt's face immediately became gloomy.
Although my mother went through a lot of trouble to prepare these gifts, they are insignificant to a rich person.
The aunt said that last month, someone sent a basket of fresh fish larvae, but because there was no time to process them, they were all thrown into the trash can. The implication is to remind my mother to be more discerning and stop fussing with things you can’t get your hands on.
How can you be embarrassed to go empty-handed when relatives are walking around each other? However, you are very poor, what should you give to your relatives?
If you take out something that is too low-end, it will be disliked by others. Maybe, as soon as you left, someone else threw away the gift you gave you.
At the dinner party, it was the rich people who were changing glasses, while the poor people could only eat and drink with them silently, without any chance of being looked down upon.
Family love cannot be measured by money, but it is mixed with money factors.

When a poor person goes to a relative's house, he will be regarded as "asking for help".
As the old saying goes: "There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace."
When you were young, in order to make a living, you rarely went to relatives' homes. When you are older, but you often visit relatives, people will be wary of you. Everyone thinks that you will ask them to do things in the future.
Especially for those old people whose children work far away, when they visit the younger generation’s home, the younger generation will think like this - if they accept the benefits of the elderly now, they will need everyone to take care of them when they can no longer walk. ?
It is not uncommon for the elderly to shirk the task of providing for their elderly to their "nephews".
If the old man has a lot of money and a big house, the younger generation will take advantage of it and serve him tea and water, which is considered a sign of filial piety. If an old man has nothing and still bothers the younger generation, he is "seeking the wrong person" and made a mistake from the beginning.
It is better to seek help from others than from yourself. Relatives have their own families. When you get old, only your children have the obligation to provide for you. For other relatives, it is a matter of affection to take care of you, but it is their duty not to take care of you. It is embarrassing to force yourself to do so.

When people are poor, they should be stingy and don’t spend money on “reciprocity”.
In the traditional thinking model, if a relative gives you a gift of 100 yuan, you have to give it back next time there is a wedding at your relative's house. If you only give fifty dollars, you will be treated as a joke.
Many relatives, when holding weddings and weddings, will use a special notebook to record the gifts given by guests one by one.
Doing this is to repay the favor in the future.
When people are old and don’t have much money in their hands, if you have to “join in the fun”, you will become even poorer. You think you are taking advantage of others giving you gifts, but you are actually "losing money". What's even more frightening is that you still owe a debt of gratitude.
Learn to be stingy, keep money in your own pocket, and buy rice and vegetables, which is the most practical thing. Cooking porridge at home is more delicious than eating fish and meat from relatives’ homes.
05
When people are poor, they must have backbone and focus their time and energy on making money.
Some old people think that they are elders and must be respected wherever they go. In fact, poor people look like dwarfs wherever they go.
When Grandma Liu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" first entered Jia's house, everyone had a "teasing" mentality to see her make a fool of herself. I despise this poor relative from the bottom of my heart.
For the sake of her family, Grandma Liu had to get involved with this relative, hoping that through her own grievances, she could win something for her family.
In Chapter 40, Wang Xifeng deliberately planted a plate of chrysanthemums on Grandma Liu’s head. Everyone laughed at her for being dressed up as an old goblin. Such a scene is really sad.
You must know that a rich person does not mean a virtuous person.
When people get old, if they can still move around, they can find ways to change the status quo. For example, an elderly person in his sixties can work as a nanny for others, serve dishes and wash dishes in some small restaurants, or sweep the floors in a community.
Use the time and energy of visiting relatives to make money, and you will have more confidence in your life.

Conclusion.
If you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you.
Even if rich relatives come to see you, you must learn to watch your words. Don't mistake their "poor" eyes for love and respect.
Of course, the people who pity you have no ill intentions. Those who treat you as a joke are truly hateful.
People, you must live with dignity. Whether you have more money or less is your own responsibility. If you don't steal or rob, how can you be inferior to others?
In my hometown, there is a saying: "Every three years a clean official comes, and every three days a dog comes to the stove." In other words, if you occasionally go to a relative's house, you will be regarded as a big boss. Officials are a good sign that distinguished guests are coming to your door; if they have to meet every other day, it is a sign of "everything goes wrong".
How to reduce the chance of walking around each other? This principle should be grasped: If you don’t want to be disturbed by relatives, then you should take the initiative to "ground yourself" and don't disturb relatives.
Here, I would also like to advise relatives not to compare with each other but to learn to take care of each other. Only by working together can the big family become more and more prosperous.
