1, you can make more colleagues.
For the elderly, loneliness and lack of companionship have always been a social topic because their children are not around or busy at work.
When you choose to live, it is easy for you to realize that many people who come to support the elderly have unexpectedly met new friends during their travels. They buy food and cook together, swim in Erhai Lake, dance in square dance and develop new hobbies together, so the time together is the main pleasure of the old people's life.
2. More and more open-minded.
Many uncles and aunts living abroad told me that not only young people are becoming more and more open, but so are they. They will no longer only care about their grandchildren at home, but also want to pay more attention to their personal lives.
Yes, except for parents, grandparents and company employees, they are themselves. After retirement, some people prefer to return to themselves by living abroad.
3. Slower pace and comfort than traveling.
Compared with traveling, staying in a place for a long time and deeply feeling the local cultural atmosphere and natural scenery are bound to be more comfortable for the elderly who no longer need to travel. Especially from the perspective of physical adaptation, you can enjoy a slow-paced new life without worrying about the fatigue caused by travel.
In short, the increase of people living for the elderly, whether it will become a new trend or not, represents the pluralistic openness of ideas and attitudes towards life. If you don't want to take your grandchildren after retirement, you don't need to continue to help your children's lives. You might as well treat yourself and experience the new life of caring for the aged at home. Maybe you will find that another new life has just begun.
Personally, although I have lived in China since I was a child, I still expect that when I get old, there will be more mature and rich models to choose from. Health and recuperation-style residential pension, cultural experience-based residential pension, pastoral residential pension, etc. It is expected to join or even lead the tide of old-age life in a few decades.
