You guys get disposable income?
On a serious note, here it's very hard to get to a point to get any disposable income, unless you stay living with your parent's all your life and never get married, ...
This is the main reason why I'm now able to actually afford a used ps4, physical manga and be able to finally buy games, especially indie one's without the guilt of pirating them.
NOTE: I'm 20 and have been working since I was 18 seasonal work since that's mostly all you can find here, even if you finish university/college so I just skipped that part.
Being married can make things cheaper. 2 incomes, and most expenses are not doubled, like rent or utility costs. That is until you have a kid, then things can be as expensive as you let them get.
In most cases here, the woman doesn't work because it's very hard for them to get a job here. So they are in most cases just literally housewive with no income.
