年收入600萬日圓(約新台幣119萬元)的黃金歲月早已過去!日本72歲男子曾經自己開店,如今每月只領6萬日圓(約新台幣1.2萬元)年金,為了生活只能忍著腰痛、每週到超市工作4天。曾經風光的小生意人,晚年竟落到「不敢休息」的地步,他最害怕的不是沒錢,而是有一天連工作都做不了。
日媒報導,達夫(化名)目前獨自住在鄉下一間老舊出租公寓。過去多年,他在當地經營一家小型印刷店,生意最好的時候年收入曾達600萬日圓。然而,隨著社會逐漸走向無紙化,加上網路印刷普及,他的生意受到衝擊,最終在幾年前結束營業。
生意開始走下坡時,達夫曾動用多年累積的存款支付生活費及維持事業所需的支出,等到真正結束營業時,手上的退休資金已經所剩無幾。
由於過去當自營業者沒有加入厚生年金,如今他每月固定收入只有約6萬日圓的國民年金。但顯然不足以支付生活開銷,達夫只能繼續工作。
他目前在當地一家大型超市負責回收購物車及清掃店舖周邊,每週工作4天、每天6小時,時薪1200日圓(約新台幣238元),每月可增加約11萬5000日圓收入(約新台幣2.3萬元)。加上年金後,每月總收入約17萬5000日圓(約新台幣3.5萬元)。
問題是,這筆收入幾乎沒有太大的容錯空間。達夫每月需負擔房租、伙食費、水電和通訊費,另外還要支付腰痛就醫及藥物費,以及國民健康保險等,加上日用品與其他雜費,每月支出約15萬日圓(約新台幣3萬元),最後只能剩下約2萬5000日圓(約新台幣4975元)。
更讓他感到不安的是,這2萬5000日圓並不能真正稱為「可自由使用的錢」。一旦臨時出現較大的支出,或者因為身體不適請假幾天,當月就可能陷入赤字。多年累積的腰痛也讓工作變得更加辛苦,卻也只能硬著頭皮上班。
達夫坦言「我一直都有一種恐懼,就是如果有一天我再也無法站在工作現場,到底該怎麼辦。」過去仍在經營事業時,並沒有真正想過,如果沒有富足的存款,到了晚年又失去工作能力,生活可能會陷入如此脆弱的狀態。
達夫的晚年生活,也凸顯出自營業者若缺乏足夠退休準備,結束事業後可能面臨的財務風險。對他而言,真正令人不安的或許不是現在每個月少存一點錢,而是「有一天連工作都做不了時,自己還能靠什麼生活」。
