Do you want to work till 75 years old?

For me, I don't mind going for trips to supermarket. Have been doing it now since SAHM.I've seen how my Dad drove my mum nuts when he first retired.
Looking at my parents now, their days are occupied with trips to the wet market or NTUC, taiwan/korean drama and the stock market. The occasional trip abroad and some home improvement projects.
I keep asking DH how he thinks our lives will be like when the kids are grown and have their own families. I cannot see myself watching all those dramas and going to the market daily. :skeptical: While the idea of having more time with DH seem nice, I think I will be itching to kick him out of the house in no time at all. As it is now, there will be times when I will wish that he is out stationed for the week. :razz:
So really to keep everyone's sanity, think I better work for as long as I can. Better than over stress at workplace.
But if DH retired, probably I nag more at him than I do so now, for messing up the house or for walking around when I am doing my household chores, blocking the small pigeon hole walkway while I am also walking around too. Almost knock into him a few times when I rushing around.

That's true, sometimes I wish dH is not in S'pore. When he is away the Hse feels clean but when he is back the Hse seems dirty.
Also like to ask where is this thing and where did I put that thing...... Yah so bad hor.
And just when I was writing the previous post, my sis sms me say her DH is driving her nuts. He's on leave last Fri and today. And she is only spending today with him and already she is screaming bloody murder. Haha.
But hor, must not take things for granted.
MIL and FIL were always snapping at each other. When 1 is home the other one will be out. At 1 point, MIL even said she wanted to divorce FIL since DH and SIL are all grown and have their own family. But amidst all the snapping and complaining about each other, FIL will still meet MIL almost daily at her work place and have lunch with her before heading home together. Then FIL passed away suddenly last year and now MIL is saying she misses him very much. Now want to quarrel oso no one to quarrel with. -
DH and me both think we will work till 75 years old if NO CHOICE, aka no money to survive.
Don’t like the idea of might work till dead in workplace, over stress till might have heart attack or stroke when old. touch wood. -
we told kids that once they graduate from uni, they are on their own.
they want to get married, have nice wedding, nice house, car, babies etc, please plan and save. dont expect us to fork out $$$ for wasteful items.
many of us have 2 sets of parents to support as well as kids thus many have little or no savings. so once kids have a job, it is time for parents to save for their future. in fact, i think kids shoujld pay for their study loans too.
who wants to employ old folks? -

My teen daughter already said she is not moving out ...she wants to stay with me...she already calculated she cannot afford to buy a house....so do not want to be burden by loans/houseworks...
She do not want to be a working adult.... :skeptical:
Wow nowdays kids already so realistic.... :faint:
Maybe my fault ...to pamper them too much....
I think in future I will be one of the parents to be in the headlines for bringing my children to Court .... :razz: ordering them to move out when they become independent... :scared: -

:faint: But really...cannot depend on kids to support next time. High standard cost of living, wages low as got to compete with FTs...cost of housing so high, start family also don't know got enough money, what's more to say giving birth to grandchildren and support to university...all the cost adds up. :moneyflies:
