Too Curious! The Financial Situations of Various Couples
Hello, I'm Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor-in-chief of marry*
Once married, managing finances together becomes a timeless issue that everyone is concerned about. Especially in the newlywed stage, you experience significant expenses all at once for the first time, such as for the wedding, moving to a new home, and the honeymoon.
Since a lot of money is needed, it’s not uncommon for the balance between income and expenses to be off. Even though one understands that their situation is completely different, it’s only natural to wonder, "How do other families manage their finances...?"
In fact, we recently created an article at marry that became very popular, featuring examples of how four couples manage their money.
Can't ask real friends, making me even more anxious...
Money issues often feel quite raw and inappropriate to discuss, and with few people in the same life stage, it's difficult to consult real friends or seniors.
Outside of insurance agents and life planners who deal with financial questions as a job, normally the only people you can ask are your parents.
Moreover, knowing that "everyone's different, so comparing with others doesn’t make sense" often leads to the feeling that it might be pointless to listen to others, which can make couples try to solve things by themselves.
I know everyone is different, but I want to hear everyone's stories!
Of course, every human being is unique, and just as there are as many styles of managing money as there are couples, it’s understood that strategies can vary greatly!
Even if one listens to others, they can’t imitate everything, nor is there a need to; what works best for one couple may vary from moment to moment, so it is impossible to find a definitive best answer. This is also understood.
Yet, it’s only natural to want to listen to the stories of peers in similar circumstances and seek inspiration!
So, let’s have marry readers discuss their “challenges unique to brides-to-be,” “challenges unique to newlyweds,” and “couples’ financial troubles”♩
How do you manage your finances? Let’s share through Instagram hashtags!
Please post about your couples’ financial situations on your Instagram with the hashtag ‘夫婦のお財布事情xoxo’ (Couples' Financial Situations xoxo)!
Topics that might be “normal but…” or “embarrassing but…” or “hard to say…” are surely the most helpful for everyone!
After all, it’s hard to talk about such uncomfortable topics with real friends...!
However, those who are viewing marry are likely to be newlyweds or those who are engaged.
Please share your methods of managing finances that everyone is certainly curious about◎
Please post your ‘夫婦のお財布事情xoxo’! ♡
Because these are issues and questions that aren’t normally shared, it’s essential to use a separate bride account apart from your real account♡
I’m looking forward to hearing a wide variety of stories from many couples via the Instagram hashtag ‘#夫婦のお財布事情xoxo’!
