I’m a college student. Apparently, college students my age—both men and women—who aren’t doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and only work regular part-time jobs have almost no savings and spend everything they earn. Were you all like that when you were young?

I’ve been earning hundreds of thousands of yen a month through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and have saved over five million yen, but I still get free food and drinks at an all-you-can-eat singles bar when I go out to dinner with friends. For lunch, I bring a papa (a male supporter) along and the three of us eat together, so I can avoid paying the lunch bill—around 3,000–4,000 yen—and even receive an allowance.
I don’t understand why everyone goes to izakayas so often when they’re supposedly short on money.

If you do the same things as everyone else, there’s no way you’ll save money, right?
When I was in college, I lived off the allowance my parents sent me and saved whatever was left over. I certainly wasn’t doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
For a typical college student, any money they have tends to get spent, or more often, not having money in the first place is the norm.

I’m a college student, after all.
During the first half of my college years, I worked part-time, but I could hardly save anything on a part-time wage. So in the second half, I became self-employed, worked for myself, saved money, and eventually started my own business.
Most people earn money to spend it, which is why I think they go out to izakayas even when they don’t have much money.

That’s perfectly fine.
You shouldn’t imitate poor Japanese college students. Izakayas are expensive, and they’re the most fattening option.
I only graduated from high school, but I saved 10 million yen to use as seed money.

I didn’t really save any money when I was in college.
All I remember is being busy trying to balance my studies, my girlfriend, my club activities, and my part-time job.
It was a time when my girlfriend and I were going at it like rabbits, so coming up with money for love hotels was harder than paying for drinks at an izakaya, lol.
