Whether you can live within your means or end up ruining your life even after getting your hands on a lot of money really depends on you.
If you’re attractive and good at entertaining customers, you’d probably make more as a cabaret club hostess.
Since papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is a solo game, there’s a limit to how much you can earn, right?
I can understand doing papa-katsu to save money and then starting a business, though.
For example, if you did papa-katsu 20 days a month and received a 100,000-yen allowance per day:
¥2 million a month × 12 months = ¥24 million a year
That’s probably about the most you could make, isn’t it?
Unless you meet an exceptionally generous (well-paying) papa (a male supporter), you can probably only earn around that much.
And even that estimate is pretty unrealistic...
When I was in my twenties, 98% of what I thought about was money.
If you see a way to make money, go for it. You need to save, after all. Don’t blow it all on hosts.
I used to tell myself every morning, “I’m not going to fall for an investment scam,” and I never did.
If you want to live beyond your means, why not just take out a loan instead of doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?
You can live above your means temporarily, but since it’s ultimately debt, you won’t be forced to keep living that way forever.
When it comes to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), I don’t think there’s much risk of losing yourself, because earning more money than you can reasonably expect ultimately requires not only attractiveness as a woman, but also overall personal qualities and people skills.
If you don’t want to overindulge in luxury, become obsessed with money, and end up ruining your life, why not save it?
You could put the effortless allowance you receive into a savings account without a cash card and simply leave it there.
If you’re not used to saving, try making a manual deposit on the same day each month, starting with ¥10,000. Save ¥20,000 the following month, then ¥30,000 the month after that, continuing to increase the amount. If you set it to mature after three years, you’ll have a nice little bonus.
Increasing your monthly savings by ¥10,000 would mean saving ¥600,000 a month five years from now and ¥1.2 million a month after ten years, so you might want to stop increasing it once you reach, say, ¥100,000 a month.
It’s important to set a maturity date. That way, you can create milestones in your own life.
If you don’t have a specific use for the money when it matures, you could put it into a trustworthy investment or take a short trip.
