“I’m turning 33 this year. Most of my friends are either married or married with children. I’m kinda hoping this year will be my lucky year. Actually, I met someone online and we’ve been going out. She’s from Argentina. But she’s only here for a year so I better move fast if I wanna pop the question. In Japan, people are getting married later in life, if at all. Some are hesitant to tie the knot because they’re worried about their income. I understand that feeling because I used to be a social worker, which didn’t pay much. Now I’m a salesman. I import and sell craft beer. But if it was up to me, I would continue providing aid for the elderly. It’s a serious problem in society now. But kids don’t realize this. That’s why this should be taught in school as part of curriculum.”
