The title is the usual disposal of the pension when the pensioner has children who are well-off. Just to be of use, the pensioner buys the laundry soap and snacks for the grandchildren. That is an ideal scene for a pensioner.
But in real life most of the pensioners I know spend for the food because the children that live with him earns not enough. The concept of the pension is for the pensioner to have extra money for his leisure and entertainment. But if the pension becomes part of the daily home budget then it is like the pensioner is partly a bread winner. I can imagine the pressure when the daily budget is not sufficient that the pensioner would be taking a loan. What a disastrous situation.
