A very wise Chinese philosophy of life and weath.
Sixty and Going Strong
(Translated from the original in Chinese below)
“There are 1000-year old trees in the mountain, but not many 100 year-old people”
At the most, you live until 100 years old (only 1 in 100,000).
If you live until 90, you only have 30 years.
If you live until 80, you only have 20 years.
Because you don’t have many years to live, and you can’t bring along things when you go, you don’t have to be too thrifty. 
Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don’t leave all  to your children or grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become “parasites”.
Don’t worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you return to dust,  you will feel nothing about praises or criticisms.
Don’t worry too much about your children for “children will have their own destiny and find their own way. Don’t be your children’s slave”
Don’t expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render any help.
Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties.
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but you have no claims to their money.
60-year olds like you, don’t trade in your health for wealth anymore;
Because your money may not be able to buy your health.
When to stop making money, and how much is enough (hundred thousands, million, ten million)? “Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, 
you can only consume three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night”. 
So as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough.
So you should live happily. Every family has its own problems. Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see 
whose children are doing better, etc. but challenge others for happiness, health and longevity.
Don’t worry about things that you can’t change because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and find your own happiness;
As long as you are in good mood, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day passes, you will lose one day;
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in good spirit, sickness will cure fast; in good spirit; sickness will never come.
With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin 
and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years healthy life.

(Translated from the original in Chinese below – with sentences of emphasis placed in smaller font.)

“There are 1000-year old trees in the mountain, but not many 100 year-old parasites”
At the most, you live until 100 years old (only 1 in 100,000).
If you live until 90, you only have 30 years.
If you live until 80, you only have 20 years.

Because you don’t have many years to live, and you can’t bring along things when you go, you don’t have to be a kind person, good father or caring grandparent.

Spend the free $300/per month that should be spent, enjoy free board in a $2 million mansion that should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate including free French cars.
But don’t forget to humiliate and display racial discrimination against your children and grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become “parasites”.

Don’t worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you return to dust, you will feel nothing about disgusting racial criticisms, unjust behaviour or the attempted conversion of a chattel (such as a Renault), (notably, a punishable crime under Australian tort law).

Don’t worry too much about your children for “children will have their own destiny and find their own way, so feel free to engage in emotional, psychological and racial abuse against them. Don’t be your children’s slave”

Don’t expect too much from your children. Completely disregard any attempts to form harmonious relationships with them and ensure that you use them for your own personal gain.

Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your free French car.
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but you have no claims to their money (disregarding any monthly $300 shopping cards, surgery bills made on your behalf, free European cars and the like, of course).

60-year olds like you, don’t trade in your health for wealth anymore;
Because your money may not be able to buy your health, unless your children happen to be stupid enough to pay any surgery bills on your behalf.
When to stop making money, and how much is enough (unless of course you are being funded out of the goodwill of your dear “parasites”)? “Out of thousand hectares of good farm land,
you can only consume three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night, so when your children go out of their way to improve your dismal standard of living, be sure to take them for granted and sink to racial insults to express your gratitude”.
So as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend on yourself, that is good enough.
So you should live happily.
Every family has its own problems (which may or may not extend to include racial, emotional and psychological abuse).
Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see
whose children can be taken for granted, etc. but challenge others for happiness, health and longevity.
Don’t worry about things that you can’t change, including yourself, because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and be solely focussed on your own happiness; Irrespective of whether this comes at a cost to others and who may be hurt in your endeavours of egocentric joy. As long as you are in good mood, think about happy things and do happy things daily (such as racially abusing relatives), then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day passes, you will lose one day;
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in good spirit, sickness will cure fast; in good spirit; sickness will never come.
With good mood, racial abuse, ad hominem insults in irrelevant circumstances and a suitable amount of exploitation, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years in shameless, gutless self-satisfaction.
