With a protracted economic downturn making a dent in Japan's reputation as a place for foreigners to make a quick buck.. how easily they can get their hands on a fistful of yen....

...Model...two shows per day and get 70,000 yen
...English Teacher...The standard is around 250,000 yen [[month]].
...Banker...I get a little bit less that at the overseas company
...French teacher.... I'm not rich... the cost of lessons is going down.
