「老後破産」というのが話題だという。「今の時代はさまざまな理由で、あるときから急に収入がなくなったりする。そうして資産がなくなる。それでいながら、体はまだ健康だ。そのため、老後を鬱々と過ごす羽目になる」というものだ。 先日、「老後破産」についての記事を読んだ人が、自分の老後が不安になったと語っていた。そして彼は「貯金でもしようか」と考えたのだそうだ。今は全く貯金がないのだという。 しかしながら、老後破産に備えるにしても、貯金というのはけっして賢い選択とはいえない。なぜならお金は、資産の中でも最も減りやすく、そのためすぐになくなる危険性が高いからだ。数億円という規模だったらまた別だが、数千万円では、何かことがあったら一気に吹っ飛んだりするので、全く当てにならない。(本文より)岩崎夏海の「ハックルベリーに会いに行く」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/huckleberry.html

先日、ある教育関係者と対談をした。打ちあわせの席で彼がしみじみと口にしたことがある。 「石田さん、見合いっていいですよ」 彼はぼくより６歳年下で、当然恋愛結婚だと思っていた。 「もしかして、お見あいで結婚したの」 創作和食の個室で、彼はお造りをつまみながらいう。 「そうなんです。最初にうちの奥さんと会ったときは、ぼくが18歳で彼女が16歳でした」 驚いた。ふたりともようやく婚姻が可能な年齢になったばかりだ。 「これからこの人と結婚するとわかっている相手と初めて会うというのは、なんだか不思議な感じで、なかなかいいものです」 （本文より）　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　石田衣良ブックトーク『小説家と過ごす日曜日』はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/ishidaira.html
