Thanks to one thing, you will know who is trustworthy to rely on in old age.

Ms. Liu from China's life changed a lot after she realized who she could trust.

After retirement, Mrs. Liu wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life. She did not choose to live with her children but lived alone in a spacious house, lacking everything.

When they were young, Ms. Liu and her husband both worked for the government, with stable salaries. Ms. Liu is 66 years old this year, retired for 6 years and has a pension of 5,000 yuan/month (16 million VND). Every month, the U70 old woman spends quite frugally so she still does not use up all her pension.

At first, this woman lived with her husband, but her husband died early so she had to take care of herself. Every day, Mrs. Liu not only spends time eating, resting, and taking care of her health, but also regularly meets friends and relatives, finding joy in her old age.

Mrs. Luu gave birth to two children, one boy and one girl. Her children are now grown and have their own lives. Both of them live in their own homes and do not face too much financial pressure.

After many years of hard work and dedication, Ms. Liu has saved a small amount of money, but enough for her old age. She has saved 500,000 yuan (about 1.6 billion VND) but has not told any of her children. This woman also plans to leave her life savings to her children. However, she does not know if her children can really trust her to give her all this money.

So she came up with an idea to test her children before deciding to leave them money. One day, Ms. Liu called her daughter and son-in-law and said that she had 200,000 yuan (about 670 million VND) but did not know how to save it.

The old lady should trust her children to hold it for her, each holding 100,000 NDT (335 million VND), in case of illness they can get it back.

She reminded her children that if they spent this money, they would have to pay her back when she needed it. Hearing her request, both children happily agreed.

A year later, Ms. Liu contacted her children again, saying she wanted to get back the money she had sent last year. She confided that her health was getting worse and she wanted to keep the money to proactively seek medical treatment.

At this time, her daughter, Tieu Chau, happily returned the money. This was her mother's retirement money, and she would use it if she got sick, so no matter how difficult it was, she would not touch it.

On the other hand, Liu’s son, Xiao Long, was confused when his mother wanted to get her money back. He admitted that his wife was a spendthrift and her income was not enough to cover her living expenses. When they were short of money, they borrowed from her money but have not been able to pay it back yet.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was surprised by her son and daughter-in-law's excessive spending habits. She had known that her daughter-in-law was not good at saving money, but she had not thought that the situation would get worse. After hearing her son's confession, she only advised her children to advise each other, to appreciate money and spend wisely. Otherwise, no matter how much money they had, they would lose it all.

The 70-year-old woman also decided not to leave any money to her son. She believed that her children would not appreciate the money and would develop a habit of relying on their elderly mother. After a while, she decided to reveal to her daughter that she had saved 500,000 NDT (about 1.6 billion VND). She handed over all of this money to her daughter with full trust. She also told her daughter to use the money to take care of her if she were to get sick or even pass away.

When you get old, you can rely on your children a little bit, but you need to rely on someone you can trust. To avoid trouble, suffering, and conflicts with your children in old age, each person needs to be proactive and clear about money.
