@mokudesuka But you can just speak at a high school level in any language all the time bro , maybe you won't have the accent and cadence but you'd be fully legible to your great grandfather
@ionianwanderer@phx787@CacheThatCheque Also you're not financially illiterate that particular Corvette example is the "imagine a burger" way of describing the pension plan ,
it's absolutely unconventional, it's like telling someone from Cincinnati Ohio "imagine a football field, but it has trees" to describe a park
@ionianwanderer@phx787@CacheThatCheque Honestly it's not a big ask, "just pay off this c8 Vette at dealer prices over the next three decades at near ZIRP" feels like a bargain compared to the pension disbursements, if anything the margins are too thin
Were they planning to die broke?
Mimorin so Hikari coded shes making the entire fandom turn into Aijo Karen whenever shes back in Japan and happens to hang out with any member of Kukugumi
@11975MHz It's not even a big ask, they just want people to not be broke, you can pay off the pension amount faster than you can pay off a new ford f550 (16m jpy) if it so behooves you , and they give you three decades to do it
@KatsuDan87@bunburyoudoujp Napkin math suggests that if you could cough up about 850 usd a month for both pensions that you'd clear the requirements regardless of the amount earned, at about 300k a month that's about a savings rate of 50% assuming that there is no float requirements
@bunburyoudoujp@phx787 if this math is correct it amounts to a baseline amount of "some credit card debt" +18.3% of your take home salary(so like 80k a month?)
@Proudcockroach@GaveItAllll@harukaawake Honestly seeing as you are a member of the replacement class(欢迎你老兄)an analogous culture is good enough, Singapore just takes the next closest approximation at different levels to maintain an ethnic ratio it feels satisfies it's needs, Japan is doing the same via tax tarriff
