I'm unsure how to use the allowance I've received through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
I have barely touched the money I've saved through papa-katsu.
Sometimes I find myself thinking that I'd like to spend it on beauty treatments or accessories, but then I feel those things are beyond my means, so I haven't touched it at all.
At this rate, I feel like I won't use the money unless I end up facing a truly serious financial crisis.
I do think it's best to keep it set aside as a safety net, but with how unpredictable life is these days, I also wonder whether it would be okay to take the plunge and spend around one million yen while I'm still healthy and able to enjoy it.
What do you think is the right way to use the allowance? I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.

Let’s buy real estate. In a city, you can sell it for cash if needed, or live in it yourself.
If you haven’t saved that much yet, buy stocks instead. Look into companies you like—some offer shareholder perks, too.
You can find them with a quick search. Beauty companies may send you cosmetics, while restaurant companies may give you meal vouchers. You don’t even need ¥1 million.

Spend the money you have. Especially if it’s easy money. Keep the economy moving.
Of course, how you spend it matters. Think about what you’re spending it on and what you’ll get out of it. But basically, use it all up.
Even if you spend it on something trivial, that’s fine. If you think it through, whether it succeeds or fails, it’ll become a valuable life lesson.
In your twenties, it’s fine to spend almost everything you have. If you make use of what you learn from those experiences, you can more than make up for it in your thirties and beyond.

They say money rots if you just leave it sitting around.
Think carefully, and if you really need something, spend it. Otherwise, take some time to consider what the best thing to do would be.

There’s no single “right” way to spend your money. If there’s nothing you particularly want to spend it on, I think it’s perfectly fine to save it.
