Does being a dad make your sense of finances go crazy?How to restore it

If you start working as a dad from a young age, such as when you're a college student, and you get a lot of money, your financial sense may go haywire.It is said that there are many women who later quit their job as fathers and find that their regular income is not enough when they start looking for a job or marriage.What can I do to restore my crazy financial sense?We asked Papakatsu about the moment when he felt his sense of finances went awry.

I asked a girl who is a dad!When was the moment when you realized that your financial sense had gone awry due to being a dad?

① At a girls' night out with friends...

``I was asked to be the organizer for a girls' night out with a friend from college.We booked a lunch at a hotel, had some drinks, and when I told her the price was 1 yen per person, she said, ``That's too expensive!'' and was very frowned upon. When everyone told me, ``Usually, no matter how hard I try, lunch only costs about 7000 yen,'' I realized for the first time that maybe my sense of money was strange.'' (Female, 3000 years old)

②On a date with a boy of the same generation...

``I was invited on a date by a boy from the same university, but I was surprised to find out that we were traveling by train.Then he took me to a pub where I had sex with him.He treated me to something, but it was just the two of us.'' It was about 1 yen. When I complained to my friend, she said, ``It's okay if you buy me something,'' and I thought, ``Is that really the case?'' (Female, 20 years old)

③I end up buying branded products

``Ever since I started working as a father, I can't stop shopping, and whenever I want something, I just buy it.''The other day, a friend of mine was thinking about buying a brand-name bag, and when I encouraged her, ``Don't buy it,'' she said, ``It's not that easy.'' It's not a price that can be decided on by someone else. You have a strange sense of money (lol).'' I thought, ``Maybe I'm crazy?'' (Female, 21 years old)

④Even though I quit being a dad...

``Even though I quit being a dad and got a job, I still haven't regained my financial sense, so I end up spending all my money on things like small plastic surgery and expensive beauty treatments.My credit card bill is about 30 yen every month, and I can barely pay it off. I realized that my sense of money was crazy because I thought I could pay this amount right away...'' (Female, 27 years old)

⑤Marriage is not going well...

``I was looking for a father until my mid-twenties, and most of my dads were wealthy people, such as presidents or company executives.As I got older, I stopped being a father and started looking for marriage. I feel like my salary is not enough for men of my generation, so I have a hard time getting things going.Honestly, I feel like I could live a better life as a father than if I got married.'' (Female, 20 years old)

How to cure your crazy financial sense while working as a dad

① Play with men and women of the same generation

The most effective way to get your money back on track is to hang out with men and women of your age and average incomes.Women who usually date wealthy older male fathers often feel that their father's financial sense is normal.It might be a good idea to hang out with men and women of the same generation and learn about their general sense of money, such as where they spend their money and how they save money.

② Stop using cashless payments and card payments

If you tend to end up making purchases online or by credit card, we recommend paying with cash and leaving only the cash you need.With a credit card, you will receive a statement later, but with cash, you pay on the spot, so you can avoid overspending.It's also recommended for people who tend to spend too much on their cards because they can accumulate points.

③ Take the plunge and try living at home

If you're living alone and can't seem to get your financial sense back, we recommend taking the plunge and moving back to your parents' house.If you live at your parents' home, you can actually see how your parents save money (although this is not recommended if your family is rich or your parents are also rough with money...).Especially for those who are looking for marriage, it is a good way to regain a proper sense of finances, as it is useful for simulating married life.

in conclusion

If you easily acquire a large amount of money at a young age, you may not understand the value of money and may have trouble later on.Once you have lost your financial sense, it is very difficult to get back on track.When you start working as a father, you will be less likely to lose your sense of finances if you clarify ``what is the purpose of doing it'' and prevent unnecessary waste.Please learn the true importance and value of money through dad life, and learn how to use money correctly.
