Some old people spend money not to buy health care products, but to buy a feeling of being cared for and accompanied. Such old people often don't live with their children. Children can't visit their parents often because of busy work or other reasons, and there is not much communication with their parents. It is conceivable that the elderly are lonely and lonely on weekdays. As for health care product salesmen, they warmly call "uncle", "aunt", "grandfather" and "aunt", patiently accompany the old people to chat at home, tirelessly listen to the old people's nagging over and over again, carefully ask about the health status of the old people, call the old people from time to time to care about their lives, and even help them buy things and bottled water ... much more intimate than kissing their children. Many elderly people are willing to spend this money even though they know that the reason for doing this is more to promote health care products. Because only by spending money can they continue to feel this feeling of being cared for and accompanied.
Another situation is that parents are getting older. With the decline of various functions of the body, there are fewer and fewer peers around us, and their hearts will become weaker and weaker, and they will be more afraid of disease and death. Therefore, it is easy to be moved by health care products with magical effects, especially the hype of sales people: "This health care product contains … ingredients and has the value of … health and life, and no matter how expensive it is, it can't be compared with it. What is it to spend some money?
But haggle over every ounce when buying food, I think it may be that the old man is frugal in his bones, and it has nothing to do with how much money is useless.
