ラテマネー

Japanese Slang Japanese ★★★ 3/5 casual ラテマネーrate manē
读法 ラテマネー
罗马字 rate manē
汉字拆解 From English 'latte' (ラテ) + 'money' (マネー) → small daily expenditures that accumulate; the latte factor
发音 /ɾa.te.ma.neː/

含义

拿铁钱;像咖啡这样每天看似微不足道的小额支出,但长期累积下来金额惊人。

ラテマネー是通过日本理财博主和理财内容普及开来的,基于西方的'拿铁因素'概念。其核心理念是,每天的小额消费——一杯星巴克拿铁、便利店零食、自动贩卖机饮料——一年累积下来可能高达数十万日元。'ラテマネーを見直そう'(审视你的拿铁钱)是标准的理财建议。不过也有反对的声音——有人认为为了微薄的节省而砍掉小小的生活乐趣会影响生活质量。

例句

  1. 毎日のコンビニコーヒーがラテマネーになってるって気づいてやめた。 发现每天在便利店买咖啡已经变成拿铁钱了,所以戒掉了。
  2. ラテマネーを年間で計算したら20万円超えてて震えた。 把拿铁钱按年计算了一下,超过20万日元,吓了一跳。
  3. ラテマネー削るよりも固定費見直した方が効果あるって意見もあるけどね。 也有人说与其削减拿铁钱,不如重新审视固定开支更有效。
