Chako: Hey, Log! Did you know that the average allowance for elementary school kids these days is 1,657 yen? Isn’t that high?

Log: Yeah, it is, but I think the rising cost of living has something to do with it. According to a survey, about 40% of parents have increased their kids’ allowances.

Chako: Really? That means prices are going up that much… That’s tough.

Navi: It’s believed that the rise in living costs is also affecting children’s expenses. This might be why parents feel the need to increase their kids’ allowances.

Log: Exactly. When living costs go up, it’s important for kids to have enough to live comfortably.

Chako: I see! So that’s why our allowances have gone up too!
