Chapter 790: Life in Tokyo

Masayoshi Kishimoto went upstairs to his bedroom. He stepped into the shower room to take a shower before going to bed. For him, he would shower at least twice a day. One shower was when he woke up in the morning, while the other shower was when he went to bed at night.

After Masayoshi Kishimoto finished washing, he walked out of the bathing room without any haste, and as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Rie Sakai sitting on her knees on the bed waiting for him.

Before he could speak, Sakai Rie bluntly said, “Give me a clear explanation before you can go to bed.”

“Haven’t I already made it clear to you? What else do you want me to say?” Justice Kishimoto said calmly.

“Nothing. You were just prevaricating and dealing with me earlier.” Rie Sakai said unacceptably.

Masayoshi Kishimoto walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at her sideways, “I was just thinking of a question, if I had no money, would you still marry me?”

“Would.” Rie Sakai blurted out.

“Even if you would have married me, you would have been counted out from time to time after the marriage for being a wimpy man who can’t make money. Our marriage won’t last long either.

There’s no guarantee that you won’t ask for a divorce of your own accord just because you can’t stand the poverty at some point. Besides, how often have you seen a poor boy with a beautiful girlfriend by his side?

The general public recognizes an objective fact, but it is difficult to accept a cruel reality is that rich men, not only can drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, have a variety of luxury goods, but also beside the body will sit a 36D, hot body beautiful woman.

As for the poor man, in addition to the ugly woman, it is only left to self-sufficiency. It all seems so heavenly.” Justice Kishimoto said slowly.

“I wouldn’t be like the one you’re talking about.” Rie Sakai said in denial.

“Human nature is complex and varied. As long as it hasn’t actually happened to you, it’s inevitably hard to truly appreciate that kind of tangible feeling.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“Don’t you change the subject.” Sakai Rie widened a pair of eyes was staring at him with a deadly stare and said.

“Iwasaki Maki is able to give you so much pressure?” Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly laughed and said.

“I don’t want our son to be without a father in the future.” Rie Sakai didn’t answer positively and said.

“Even if we get divorced, and I’m not dead, how would he be left without a father? You’re just purely falling into the category of having nothing to worry about.

Think about it, some people who labor all day long and earn a meager income have absolutely no such a leisure as you do, after all, others are still busy earning money to survive and raise their families.

If you think that I’m making this up to trick you, then I can have Inoue Kazuhiko specially find you a poor family in Adachi district.

You go there and get a good taste of what it means to live in true poverty. Let you get a good understanding of whether the poor are poor or not just because of their own laziness?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without joking.

Although Sakai Rie hadn’t really worked in society, she wasn’t so bad that she didn’t know the basic prices and wages in Tokyo.

She also knew very well that an ordinary college student who had just joined the workforce would normally be able to get around 200,000 yen. That figure was before taxes.

After deducting all kinds of insurance and taxes, there would only be 130,000 or 150,000 yen left.

The United States is not the only developed capitalist country, but Japan’s healthcare system is just as horrible.

Once you get sick, not a big disease, but a small disease, there is no health insurance, and you have to pay a lot of money out of your own pocket. Japan’s health insurance is 30% out-of-pocket expenses and 70% reimbursement by health insurance.

Rent a house, 60,000 yen a month, is already considered quite cheap. If you want to live in a more spacious place, you can only live far away from the center and the sub-center for the same price.

If you want to have convenient transportation, all kinds of amenities around you and a little bit of prosperity, it means that the size of the rented house will be a little bit smaller.

In addition to living, people also need to eat, wear, transportation. On top of food, three meals a day is standardized at 2,000 yen, which is 60,000 yen for 30 days a month.

This leaves less than 100,000 yen, and subtracting another 60,000 yen, it’s only 10,000 yen or 30,000 yen. As for wearing, there are a lot of clothes stores in Tokyo, Japan, which sells clothes quite cheaply and washes them cleanly.

If there’s still a little stain on these clothes that can’t be washed out, naturally they’ll still be discounted by the store. There was no shortage of big branded clothes. It’s just that they’re a bit more expensive.

A few hundred yen a piece is a common price, and there are even clothes that cost a hundred yen a piece. Many young Japanese people buy second-hand clothes to wear.

In terms of traveling, not only in Japan, but also in the entire capitalist developed countries, transportation is expensive. Once the commuting distance is farther, both the subway fare and the bus fare will cost a little more.

On top of that, there’s the cost of utilities and gas. If you don’t have enough money each month, you have to squeeze as much as you can out of the flexibility of eating two meals a day or one meal a day. There are also a lot of company employees who bring their own lunch boxes every day.

In Tokyo, it’s really hard for a college student to join a small or medium-sized company. There are no other benefits like those offered by large companies. Even if the income is the same, there is a big difference.

In a large company, there is a monthly subsidy for transportation, a rental subsidy for housing if it is not owned by the company, and three meals a day if it is not provided for free. ……

Small and medium-sized companies often do not have two half-yearly awards, and even if they do, they are quite small. This is still the social animal at the bottom of the company with a regular job.

If those young people who do not have a stable job and source of income, just rely on hourly jobs to make ends meet, the year’s income there is less than 1.2 million yen is a large number of people, not even 100,000 yen per month.

These people live in places similar to those in the world’s cosmopolitan cities, either in ant colonies or in very small spaces, just enough for sleeping.

There are even those who sleep in two shifts. People who work during the day sleep at night. Those who work overnight sleep during the day and work at night. Many young people in Japan are short of money for love, not to mention marriage.

A number of people neither bad habits, nor did not spend any money, but still carry a certain amount of debt also stems from the high cost of living in Tokyo led to.

This has also given rise to some ordinary Japanese women who are particularly true to themselves. They hope to find a man who earns three or four million yen a year, and who can take them on one or two domestic trips a year, and they will be satisfied.

There’s no such thing as a pompous, unattractive man. Although some Japanese dramas are not as exaggerated as Korean dramas, they still embellish the reality of work and life to a considerable extent.
