‘Auan Return’ advises parents to plan for retirement, emphasizing not to rely solely on their children for care
Auan Return, a famous actor and host, has shared his perspective on planning for life in old age, which has garnered significant attention on social media. He emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and preparation before fully entering retirement.
In Auan Return's view, parents should prioritize saving money and taking the best possible care of their health so that they do not become a burden to their children in the future. Good preparation will allow the elderly to live their lives happily and with the independence they desire.
Furthermore, he offered a thought for all parents: they should not label their children as 'ungrateful' or use that term to pressure them if they cannot provide care as expected. Raising children should come from love and willingness, not as an investment expecting returns in old age.
An important lesson from this is the need to adjust the attitudes of modern Thai families, shifting the focus toward building understanding and good communication rather than creating expectations that may become a source of pressure for family members.
In conclusion, planning for one's own stable future is the key to reducing family conflict and helping both parents and children live the lives they want happily and sustainably.
