How much would you be happy if you had a monthly income?

I was curious about the question written on the belt of this book at a bookstore and bought it 😊

Women who live modestly with pensions, novelists, women who live as dads, caregivers, etc...

It depicts the reality of six women with completely different ages, annual incomes, and living environments.

🍀 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 🍀

⚪ ︎ Monthly income 40,000 yen 66 years old pension living

⚪ ︎ Monthly income 80,000 yen 31 years old aiming for a full-time writer

⚪ ︎ 29 years old to invest 100,000 yen a month

⚪ ︎ Monthly income 1 million yen dad active 26 years old

⚪ ︎ Monthly income 3 million yen 52 years old before her husband

⚪ ︎ Monthly income 170,000 yen Caregiver 22 years old

🍀 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 🍀

It was impressive to see each woman think about what makes her happy, review her way of working (life), and move forward positively 🌸

It was a book that made me think about various ways of working in the future 📕

There are quite heavy themes, but there are also scenes that make me feel warm while reading, and I'm glad I read it because I thought I would look back on my life positively after reading it 😊✨

... Read moreこの本『月収』は、単なる収入の多寡だけで幸せを測れないことを教えてくれます。私自身も読んでいて、自分の生活や働き方について深く考えさせられました。 例えば、年金収入4万円で慎ましく暮らす66歳の女性は、限られた資金の中で工夫しながら日々を楽しんでいます。対して、月収100万円を稼ぐ26歳の女性は「パパ活」という一風変わった方法で経済的な自由を目指していますが、それも一つの生き方として受け入れられています。 さらに、投資で将来を見据える29歳や、介護士として人と接しながら17万円で生活する22歳の女性の話も興味深いです。彼女たちのリアルなエピソードには、「お金では買えない価値」への気付きが含まれていて、読む側に前向きな変化を促します。 私の経験では、幸せの尺度は人それぞれですが、経済的な側面だけでなく、自分らしく働くことや生活の質も大切だと感じています。この本は、違った背景を持つ人たちの物語を通じて、それを改めて考える良い機会を与えてくれました。 また、著者原田ひ香さんの視点は、題材が重くても読後感がさっぱりしていて、前向きな気持ちになれます。私のように将来の働き方や人生設計を考えている方にぜひおすすめしたい一冊です。
