Although I have to say, you`ve done a great job of making me feel all rich and special though for having a household income of two times + that.
No wait, as I`m not fully employed at the moment and have a kid... If they are counting by individual that would put us below the 200,000 line per person.
Whew thats a relief. I was worried for a moment.

Nyororin, since you own a household I have a question. I heard that mortgages in Japan can carry on through the next of kin. Is that true? How much does a household usually cost in Japan. Specifically outside big cities.
