Elders may have the options to live their lives after retirement instead of supporting financially their children. This could have benefits for both generations. To elaborate this, we should analyse the both generations perspectives of life. For parents is a common to support their children’s and for them it is normalised to receive help from them. In my opinion this connection should have limits.
From the start, parent’s duty are always to give guidance and help to their heirs. Since they are born, parent’s care and love follows children’s life along them entire life. Until they are grown up, elders keep caring for their successors, not only with advises but also financial. First is the school fee, after is the rent, then other expenses that is hard to cover. This connection could develop to unhealthy relationship when one could not become independent. Even if for older people it comes from the best wishes to help, this bound needs to be broken before it could be late. Every adult should reach it’s financial freedom as soon as possible.
Though, there are many people who think parents are forever, and they will be helped regardless the situation. However, as soon as one hits the adulthood, must be in charge of his/her life. Every person should learn how to earn for their existence. As a result, older people should keep savings and spend it as they desire. Also this expenses could be on holidays or on hobbies that where postponed.
In conclusion I could bottom line that this development has positive impact for the both generations. First one could enjoy the rest of life by doing what they always dreamed, and the second one could learn how to become independent.
