A question for male members: Are allowance rates generally trending upward or downward?

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Saito-san gave a sharp explanation of the overall trend, but in my case, it’s neither going up nor down—it’s steady. That said, if she says, “I’m a little short this month. Would it be okay to add a bit extra?”… I think, “Huh, again?” but still say, “Sure,” so I suppose you could call it an upward trend…? No one has ever said, “I’m doing fine this month, so I’ll pass on the allowance.” So I’m not really sure… I feel like they could say it at least once, though… (lol)

This is Saito♪, your column writer. Compared with 10 years ago, prices are trending slightly lower. But if it’s just seasonal, they’ll rise as winter approaches. After February, some celebrities start lowering their rates.
