“Nishitsu Survey (Temporary Name)(we might run another survey to decide this name too)” is a section where we turn a “quick question for readers + results from the previous question” into an article👏 Updated every Friday at 8 p.m.
(Inspired by Hirakata Tsushin, where Hiratsuu runs surveys.)
The Previous Survey Was
“What did you do when you got otoshidama?”
Response period:12月31日〜1月5日
Number of responses: 14
Let’s get right to it!
“What did you do when you got otoshidama?”
I went from the toy section to the lucky bag section, one after the other lol
Now I regret not saving all my otoshidama. It would have added up to a pretty good amount lol
Woman in her 40s
Famicom games
I’m from the Dragon Quest generation, so I was totally hooked.
Man in his 40s
Buying 10,000 yen worth of dagashi at the neighborhood candy shop!!
Normally I’d clutch a 100-yen coin and agonize over what to buy, but at New Year’s I’d buy 10,000 yen worth. It becomes an unbelievable amount!! You can share it around and become a hero!!
Man in his 50s
Savings
Without even looking inside, I handed it to my parents without resisting, and it went into my bank account.
Woman in her 20s
Into the employee savings plan at my father’s company!
Sixty years ago, the annual interest rate was 10%! It doubled in 10 years!
Man, 60 or older
I handed it to my mother without spending it lol
Apparently I was a child who didn’t really want many things (^_^;) When I asked, she said it’s still saved and untouched even now.
Woman in her 30s
I think it was put into a fixed-term deposit
I think it was my parents’ way of making sure I didn’t waste it. My mother passed away last year, so I never got to ask her.
Man in his 50s
Into a 10-year fixed-term deposit.
I think I was following my parents’ wishes, but as the interest dropped little by little each year, I learned about the shifts in Japan’s economy.
Man in his 30s
Handed it to my parents to save
I received the bankbook when I turned 20.
Woman in her 40s
My mother smoothly took it from me.
Maybe I’d been raised to think adults naturally hold onto money, because I handed it to my mother without questioning it at all. Eventually I forgot I had even given it to her. So I don’t have any memories of using otoshidama to get something.
Woman in her 30s
I saved it
Because I didn’t really have anything to spend it on.
Woman in her 40s
I kept an allowance book and used it carefully.
We didn’t get regular allowance at home, and if I wanted something, I had to tell my parents and could buy it if they approved. So otoshidama was precious cash income. When I wrote down who gave me how much, I felt like I could somehow understand each relative’s financial situation.
