I once calculated the "price of a child".

Also, I've made an estimate that the more children there are, the more money the government will make.

The calculation is quite simple: the ratio of average lifetime tax revenue to the amount invested per child by the state (13.68 million yen).

With a return of 1.56 times the investment in child care (if that is true), a child is a good investment property.

At least it's much better than keeping your money in the bank.

However, it is the state that can recoup this investment, not our families.

We can also look at it in a malicious way that we are taxed out of our meager household budgets by the state through our children.

And well -- I've been doing a lot of these calculations.

I don't have to feel 'unfair' about the proposal by the Komeito Party to uniformly provide 100,000 yen in cash to people under the age of 18, which was a pledge made in the lower house election regarding support measures in response to the spread of the new corona infection.

To be honest, I'm thinking, 'Even one million yen per person won't pay off.

Parents are mysterious creatures that want to live life with their children, even though they will lose money if they have children.

However, my second daughter turned 19 years old this year.

"Bummer!"

I have the feeling.
