## "I want people to realize that there might be things they don't have to give up"
"The problem of needing 20 million yen for retirement," "relentless price hikes." Many Japanese people today harbor vague "financial anxieties" about the future. Through consulting with over 2,000 households, the author witnessed people unconsciously giving up on aspirations they could have achieved, solely due to financial concerns.
* "It costs too much for education, so we'll have to make do with just one child."
* "I'm too anxious about the high housing loan to commit to buying a house."
* "I have a job I want to do, but I'll give it up because my income will decrease."
The author points out that many of these "give-ups" stem not from a lack of money itself, but from not having a clear axis for "how one wants to live." This book emphasizes the importance of thinking about one's way of living before focusing on money calculations or saving techniques, and provides a guide for readers to regain their own authentic choices.
