living on $2,000 a month

 According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Household Survey Report [Household Income and Expenditure] 2024 (Reiwa 6) Average Results Summary," the household income and expenditure of "unemployed households consisting only of couples aged 65 or older" shows actual income of 252,818 yen and consumption expenditure of 256,521 yen. The largest consumption expenditure is for "food."

We have to work because we don't have enough to live on, but in our old age, it may become difficult to work long hours due to physical limitations.

    A monthly pension of 200,000 yen is not enough, so I want to work。

On May 8, the Labor Administration Research Institute released the results of a survey on the level of summer bonus payments by companies listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The average of 114 companies in all industries was 862,928 yen, the highest since the survey began in 1970. 　By industry, "Non-manufacturing" and "Manufacturing" averaged 715,328 yen and 902,288 yen, respectively, with "Automobile" at the top at 1,040,621 yen. I too would love to work for a company that offers such large bonuses! Reference   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IyK8bFOePXk
