Our salaries aren't high.
Our bonuses aren't high either.
This is a story about five things our 40-something couple has been working hard on while thinking about money.
I wish I had thought about money earlier.
I wish I had started managing our household finances sooner.
Now that we're in our 40s, we often think that.
But even if we regret the past, we can only do what we can from now on.
This time, we'll talk about five things our family has been consciously working hard on.
① Not relying on either spouse alone
② Making efforts to increase our income even a little
③ Not turning a blind eye to the future
④ Starting to invest
⑤ Starting to manage our household finances
"My salary is low and I'm worried about the future."
"I'm worried about education costs and retirement money."
"I wish I had started saving and managing our household finances earlier."
If you feel the same way, we hope you'll listen to our real story in a relaxed way.
Although we started late, in our mid-40s, we're sharing our serious efforts to manage our household finances in preparation for our child's upcoming education expenses next year and our future retirement funds.

It's not perfect, but we hope to continue sharing our real household finances and lifestyle.

If you'd like, we'd be happy if you could listen casually while doing housework or other tasks. ☺️
