Chapter 45 How to get a "happy life"

Next I will ask some questions. "Why do you worry about your old age?" All of them replied: "Because of fear of unexpected events". Then I asked, "What kind of unexpected situation will happen?" They couldn't answer. Because there is no way to define "emergencies", so I finally asked the following questions. Everyone thinks so. However, when I asked, "So how much funeral expenses do you need?", there was a complete silence, and no one answered, because no one had calculated the exact amount of the expenses. With large assets.Can this really be called happiness?

So when I said "It's fine if you leave 3.5 million yen for funeral expenses", immediately someone said, "That's all? Then life insurance can't be bought." I don't understand why it seems to me that the income is the worst The asset form of life insurance is so indispensable in the eyes of many people. And as long as you do a little calculation, you will know that if you set the standard for the so-called funeral expenses while you are alive, you can save at least 1/3 without causing unnecessary waste.But in most cases, after a person dies, the family invites the funeral company, and then holds the funeral ceremony according to other people's standards.Therefore, it is better to plan the funeral before death, so that you can save 1/3 of the money.This can be regarded as a kind of wisdom, but no one does it.

Then I asked: "Raise your hand if you decide to prepare your own funeral procedures and funeral expenses now." Among the 2,000 people, only one or two raised their hands. For future "emergencies", people know to save as much money as possible when they can, but they don't know how to define "emergencies". They just use "pay for the funeral" to explain "emergencies" .So, now I know how to sit, and I don’t even need to estimate the specific funeral expenses.In short, nothing is put into practice - this is the Japanese nowadays. Not only the elderly, but also the young people of today should take this as a warning.From now on, the most important thing for young people is to think about "what should I say when I am dying".

"Hey, when you are young, if you can use this money to do this and that...", if you sigh like this when you are dying, then your life must be nothing but regrets. Leaving the saved money in this world, and then dying with regret, maybe there really is such a way of life as a fool. I really wonder how many Japanese people can confidently say when they are dying: "Oh, how happy my life is." "If there are 35 million yen, then everything can be realized!" I really can't explain the Japanese way of thinking now.
