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 😊✨

この本では「月収いくらあれば幸せか？」という問いを通じて、収入の多寡だけでなく個々の生き方や価値観がいかに幸福感に影響するかを考えさせられます。私自身、これまで月収だけで将来の不安や満足感を図っていた部分がありましたが、実際には生活環境や人間関係、趣味や心の充実も大きく関与していることに気づきました。例えば、月収4万円の年金暮らしの女性は質素ながらも自分らしい生活を楽しんでおり、逆に月収が高くても孤独を感じている人もいます。働く世代の女性であれば、安定した収入と自己実現、そして「やりがい」が何よりの幸せの鍵と感じる方も多いでしょう。本書に描かれる6人の女性たちが直面する現実は、時として厳しいけれど、共感できる部分も多いですし、それぞれの選択や前向きに生きる姿勢から勇気をもらえます。また、いくら稼げば幸せかを考えるだけでなく、自分なりの「幸せの定義」を見つけることが重要だと感じました。節約術や投資、パパ活など様々な収入の得方や生活スタイルも紹介されており、多様な生き方に触れられます。私もこの本を読んでから、収入以外にも自分の時間の使い方や心の健康を大切にしたいと意識を変えることができました。月収の多さに左右されずに、自分が本当に大切に思うものを見つけていくヒントがたくさん詰まっています。もし「月収いくらあれば幸せ？」という問いに悩んでいる方がいたら、この本を手に取ってみることをおすすめします。人それぞれの幸せの形を考える良い機会になると思います。
