Many retirees are still busy working extra jobs, taking care of the elderly and young people in the family. But there are also people with small pensions who are still happy and carefree. What is the secret?
Ms. Han Hui Ling, 57 years old, used to be a worker in a city in Hebei Province, China. After retirement, she received a pension of about 1,800 yuan (about 6.2 million VND). Compared to many of her peers, Ms. Hui Ling's salary is not high, even low. But she is still very satisfied.
Friends of the same age as Ms. Linh, after retiring, all went out to work part-time. One person said that Ms. Linh had a son so she worried more about him. She was young and healthy, why didn't she go to work part-time? At least she could earn a few million a month to support her children. Facing her friends' doubts, Ms. Linh often gave 6 reasons for her choice of leisurely retirement.
1.Have a savings account in the bank
It can be said that the first half of Ms. Linh's life was quite difficult. She and her husband also worked at the same factory. When Ms. Linh was 47 years old, her husband suddenly passed away, her son was still in college. Because the factory job did not provide enough income for her son to go to school, Ms. Linh started making dumplings and snacks to sell after work in front of the factory.
Every day she stays up late and wakes up early to make and sell goods and save 500,000 NDT in the bank.
2. Sons are independent, they don't need their mothers to follow them every day.
During the years of raising her son alone, Mrs. Linh worked hard but always taught her son the right way. Her efforts at work were a great example for her son to study hard and strive. After graduating, Mrs. Linh's son worked at a foreign company, saving 70-90 thousand NDT each year. He always tried hard, worked hard, and dared to do difficult things.
Now her son has bought a house, got married, has children, and can support his family. He tells his mother that she can do whatever she wants and be happy. When she gets older, he will take her back to live with him and take care of her.
Mrs. Linh is very grateful for her difficult life but has a grown and understanding son.
3. Dad is gone, now only mother lives with sister

Ms. Linh's older sister is 68 years old this year, lives in the city, and is the wealthiest in the family. Currently, her older sister has a pension 6 times higher than Ms. Linh's. Her older sister has a daughter, so she brought her mother to live with her after her daughter got married.
Her sister has lived with her mother for 20 years, and Ms. Linh often visits her mother. But for the most part, she doesn't have to worry too much.
4. Living alone, living expenses not more than 3 million VND/month
Because she doesn’t need to take care of anyone, Ms. Linh still lives alone in the factory’s dormitory. The apartment is small but fully furnished, and the cost of living is also very cheap. Living alone, eating is also very simple, Ms. Linh’s living expenses are less than 3 million VND/month. Therefore, with her pension, life is still quite comfortable.
5. Prepare a health care plan for yourself
Ms. Linh understands her body and health very well. As an older person, she pays a lot of attention to taking care of her "old body". She exercises regularly, eats more vegetables and has regular health check-ups. She also chooses to buy health insurance for herself so that if she gets sick, she will have support costs, reducing the burden on her son and relatives.

Mrs. Linh loved flowers but did not have time. After retiring, she had a lot of free time so she started to grow flowers. Her small balcony has many strange flowers, where she reads books and sunbathes every day.
Many elderly people feel lonely living alone. But for Mrs. Linh, she feels life is very leisurely and peaceful. From the bottom of her heart, she is very grateful for what she has now. Life is too short, so she chooses to live happily and optimistically.
