No money Lol. Work your ass off for 40hours per week + overtime and at the end of the month, life is a struggle.
Its something I keep saying but noone seemed to agree with me. They keep taxing everyone (yes yes yes i know its not a tax, its a insurance uptick), to contribute to families with children, but what they should be focusing on is helping young people who are single!! Whats the point in taxing everyone to help those already with children, who most likely statistically are going to have another one anyway! Then the singles just get hit with even less disposable income.
let me think, for a decent job you HAVE to move to a major city. In a majort city appartments that are shoeboxes for even a single person, cost a fortune to rent. Anything bigger without paying for that through commute costs/cmassive commuting times does not exist.
The large part to blame is the toxic work culture and horrible corporations treating employees like corporate slaves for lower than low wages. Nobody wants to raise a kid in that kind of stressful environment.
People in the Japanese underclass assume that they can’t get married because they don’t have money, even though you actually save money by living with a spouse.
It’s largely a self-fulfilling prophecy.
