老後の資金がありません

Thank you. Goodbye.

Welcome back.

Who's over there?

How much money is needed for retirement?

The country says you need 20 million yen for retirement.

How could that possibly be enough?

Because the 20 million yen doesn't include the cost of care and medical expenses.

How much money is needed for retirement?

Care expenses.

For families in the middle class.

Mortgage.

How much money do you really need for retirement?

For example, if you have two children at home.

If they get married and have kids.

As parents, we'll definitely provide them with financial support.

Helping the children.

Funeral expenses.

In a hundred years of life, as long as you're alive, you'll spend money.

In short, one sentence: You need 40 million yen for retirement.

40 million?

I don't have that.

Hey.

What?

I Don’t Have Any Money Left in My Retirement Account.

Big brother.

How's Dad doing?

Husband, Akira, came to see you.

If Dad doesn't make it through tonight.

The wake will be the day after tomorrow.

The funeral is scheduled for the day after the wake. What do you think, big brother?

Hmm.

Also, can I ask big brother to be the main mourner?

Mom is already very tired. I want to make it easier for her when she's saying her final farewell.

What does the main mourner do?

Just greet people and such.

Husband.

Let's go see the cherry blossoms again.

Also, the funeral expenses.

I want big brother to bear them.

Asking us to be the main mourners, so that's what it means.

That's right. In our family, up until now.

The gifts for the doctors and nurses at the recuperation

apartment cost quite a bit.

Dad and them, they sure know how to spend money.

But our family also sends 90,000 yen every month.

That's not much compared to what our family spends, right?

For so long...

All these little expenses from various places, we haven't even included them.

Yeah, that's true.

Sorry about that.

Brother, you're a man, after all.

It's normal not to be able to process things like this quickly.

The funeral will be held in Asakusa.

We've already contacted the funeral company.

Is that so? Thanks for taking care of everything throughout.

that's all there is to it about funerals

Still alive, right?

Mr. Goto, please come to the hospital room quickly.

Dad?

What did you say?

He couldn't eat more than three Botan cakes.

Dad.

Confirmed the time of death as 16:27.

We have to arrange the funeral.

Brother said he'll take care of everything.

Oh.

Near Asakusa, old customers and old friends will all come.

Akira

We must hold a funeral that lives up to the reputation of the Ururido family.

Do I also have to attend the funeral?

Of course.

I have a part-time job this weekend.

Sorry, but let's skip the part-time job.

Your grandpa passed away, right?

Let's eat first.

Ah, how about pork and bean sprout hotpot?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, living to 90 is a decent old age, isn't it?

About that,

i want to talk to you about the funeral.

Do we really have to cover all the funeral expenses?

How much savings do we have at home?

Savings, 7,030,206 yen.

A little over 7 million.

only 7 million?

Yes.

I thought we had around 20 million.

Critics say,

Once you reach 65, you can't survive without 40 million yen in pension.

40 million, huh?

We have the house, in case of emergencies, we can sell it.

What are you saying?

Selling the house is absolutely not possible.

It's a last resort, right?

Akira, have you not looked at the property information online?

It'll be heavily discounted when we sell.

First, we haven't even finished paying the mortgage,

and the land value has dropped over 10 million from when we bought it.

Really?

Where can you find a couple in their 50s

with only 7 million yen in savings?

But Yuuto has settled into his job.

How much money will it actually cost cost to organize the funeral?

Ah, about that...

Can you handle the meeting with the funeral company tomorrow?

Me?

My company isn't in a good situation right now, I can't take a day off.

Please, I'm begging you.

Geez.

Sorry for your loss.

Now let's get to the point.

Please start by choosing a casket.

Casket?

Yes.

Well, in the end, it's something that'll be cremated, right?

Many customers choose this casket.

It's white.

Um, about the caskets...

Is it really possible to judge the price based on appearance alone?

Generally, it's hard to tell.

But...

but

To someone with a discerning eye, it's obvious at a glance.

Um...

May I ask how many people chose the 40,000 yen option?

To be honest, none of the customers I've dealt with chose that one.

I see.

Then, I'll go with the 120,000 yen option.

Alright.

Next, we need to choose an altar.

Painted Altar E

the most popular choice.

What?

The 300,000 yen one will do.

Madam, do you really think this altar is suitable?

In my opinion, even though we're closed now, when you mention Asakusa's Ururido

that's been in business since the Meiji era for traditional Japanese sweets,

it's on a completely different level than the newly opened bean cake shops nearby.

True.

And those elderly folks attending the funeral have been to many funerals before,

they can tell the quality of the altar at a glance.

Funerals, indeed.

It's a summation of the deceased's life experiences.

What kind of life was it? How will family remember and commemorate?

What sort of ending will the life have?

- The ending, - yes, the ending.

We must hold a funeral that upholds the esteemed reputation of the Kiritani family.

Even for families of lower status than Mr. Goto,

many will choose the 2 million option.

I heard there will be over 300 attendees at the funeral.

I'll reserve our company's largest hall for you.

If the altar is too simple,

it won't be dignified enough, right?

That's true.

but

But 1.2 million is also...

But for the deceased,

You must have received quite a bit of condolence money.

Even if some of it goes towards return gifts

there should be enough left to cover the funeral expenses.

Condolence money.

I understand.

Let's go with the 1.2 million option then.

Based on that, the coffin is 120,000 yen, the altar 1.2 million yen...

The urn is 50,000 yen, memorial photo 120,000 yen.

The total comes to 3.3 million yen.

Here's the estimate, please take a look.

When was this printed?

Please sign here.

Um,

can we have a little discount?

If we do that, it would be disrespectful to the Buddha.

Goto Shoichi Funeral Venue.

Wow, this venue is huge!

Of course,

it's the memorial ceremony for the Kiritani family, the owners of Asakusa and Kiritani store.

Dad.

Oh, you've worked hard.

Did we come too early?

Is everyone feeling well?

That's great.

Let's go.

The number of people who came is so few.

Shh.

Gift money: 420,000 Japanese yen.

Return gift: 210,000 Japanese yen.

Funeral expenses: 3,300,000 Japanese yen.

Temple name money: 800,000 Japanese yen.

Lost 3.89 million yen.

So, let's start with the breathing exercise.

Focus your gaze on one point.

Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Inhale deeply.

Exhale.

Exhale.

Stretch your body in one breath.

Alright, relax.

Next is the Lion Pose.

Miss Goto, Miss Goto.

Bend a little more.
