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 😊✨

「月収いくらあったら幸せ？」って、検索しても“正解”が出ない問いですよね。私も『月収』（原田ひ香）を読んで、月収の数字より「そのお金で何を守りたいのか」「何を手放せるのか」を言語化できるかが大事だと感じました。作中には月収4万円の年金暮らしの66歳から、月収300万円の52歳、月収100万円の26歳など、立場がまったく違う女性が出てきて、同じ“月収”でも幸福度の形が全然違うのがリアルでした。私が読後にやってよかったのは、月収の目標をいきなり決めるより先に「自分の最低ライン」を出すこと。たとえば家賃（住宅ローン）・食費・光熱費・通信費・保険・医療費・交通費・日用品・交際費・貯蓄（投資）を、今の生活に沿ってざっくり書き出します。ここでポイントは“理想”じゃなく“現実”で出すこと。すると「これだけあれば生活は回る」という下限が見えて、月収の不安が少し小さくなりました。次に、「幸せの上乗せ」を考えました。私の場合は、疲れた時に外食できる余裕、推し活や本を気にせず買える余裕、将来のために毎月少額でも投資できる余裕。作中にも“毎月10万円投資する29歳”のように、お金の使い方が生き方そのものになっている人物がいて、収入の多寡より“納得感”が幸せを作るんだなと納得しました。あと意外と盲点だったのが、「月収＝手取り」ではないこと。SNSや会話で出てくる月収は額面のことも多いので、現実の手取りに落とすと感覚がズレます。私は手取りベースで“生活費＋貯蓄＋楽しみ”のバランスを考えるようにしてから、目標額が現実的になりました。『月収』は重いテーマもあるのに、嫌な気持ちになりすぎず、ところどころほっこりして読後が前向き。月にいくらあったら幸せか迷っている人ほど、「自分の幸せの条件」を見つけるヒントになると思います。読む前と読んだ後で、同じ月収の数字でも見え方が変わる一冊でした。
