No one’s resisting, are they? Or is that just what you’ve decided to believe?
If you’re the only one raising the allowance while the other papas aren’t, you’ll be incredibly popular.
Isn’t that a good thing?
Hmm… wait, I see. Is this actually a post from a woman pretending to be someone else because she wants to raise allowances across the board?
A stock in a company that owns a lot of real estate—or a REIT—could work too.
If ¥70,000 goes up by 5%, that would be ¥73,500.

But that’s a good question, haha.
If you look at it in terms of supply and demand, you might expect allowance rates to actually go down, since rising prices and financial pressure on households could lead to more women entering compensated dating.
Companies can raise employee salaries because they invest in their employees and recoup that cost through profits, right? But allowances for dating partners are purely consumption. There are some costs involved, like salon expenses, but the profit margin was already high to begin with, so allowances aren’t likely to rise easily.
Prices tend to go up first for things with high cost ratios and low profit margins, or things with strong investment returns. Allowances fall into neither category.
The same probably applies to branded goods, as well as beauty treatments, dermatology, and cosmetic surgery.
Things like this depend entirely on the economy. That said, no matter how bad a recession gets, the adult-entertainment and beauty industries survive. They’re desire-driven industries, after all.
Right now, the recovery from COVID is coinciding with the Ukraine situation, and everyone is confused about the extreme shortage of raw materials and how to deal with all the money governments printed—meaning, how to recover it through taxes. The only likely way out is a temporary period of extreme inflation. With inflation, indirect taxes such as consumption tax increase, and the value of government bonds themselves falls, which reduces the government’s debt in real terms.
We’re going to see unbelievable inflation from here on out—something even those of us from the Showa era have never experienced. This is still just the beginning.
The question is how to protect ourselves from it.
All I can think of is buying gold. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, haha.
P.S.

I see—of course.
It’s perfectly fine for a man to do various things for a woman; it only feels uncomfortable when it comes from the woman.
These days, it’s natural for companies to offer inflation allowances, too—and employees appreciate them because they’re given before anyone has to ask.
I’m uncomfortable when a woman makes requests or brings up her allowance, so I think it’s important to build a mutually appreciative relationship where that never becomes necessary.
If that’s how you feel, then wouldn’t it be enough to increase the allowance you give the woman you’re seeing?
Personally, I think it’s misguided to view an allowance as wages in the first place.
