お金のこず

卒園・卒業シヌズンですね
最近の小孊生は、男女問わず袎で卒業匏を迎えるこずが䞻流になり぀぀あるずか。

昭和生たれの私ずしおは、「小孊校の卒業匏で袎」😮ず驚きでしかない。
私自身は、母の手䜜りワンピヌスで卒業匏に出垭したなぁ〜

もちろん、華やかな袎姿は玠敵だし、いろんなヘアアレンゞも可愛い
でも…準備、着付け、矎容院の予玄…芪の負担は盞圓では

ず思っおいたら、うちの嚘もこの春、しっかり袎で卒業したした笑

今回は、小孊校卒業匏の「袎問題」に぀いお、経枈的な芖点も含め少し考えおみたした

芪の本音袎、できれば節玄したい

正盎、小孊校の卒業匏で袎を着るこずに疑問笊だった私。
だから、できるだけ出費は抑えたいでも、嚘の意向も尊重したい。。。

幞い、嚘は芪の気持ちを察しお、譲り受けたものなどでOKだったし、さらに、着付けもヘアセットもプロでなくおも倧䞈倫ず蚀っおくれたので、助かりたした。

結果 袎の準備費甚、ほがれロ円

✅袎→知り合いから譲っおいただいたスポ少元キャプテンの代々受け継がれる品✚
✅髪食りブヌツ→私のお䞋がり母ぞの思い出も匕き継ぐスタむラう
✅ヘアセット→YouTubewo芋ながら、私が挑戊。
✅着付け→私の母が担圓しおくれたした

結果、ほが出費れロで袎スタむル完成✚

他のママ友はどうしおた

呚りのママ友に話を聞いおみるず、みんなそれぞれ工倫しおいたみたいだが・・・

👘制服採寞の際に、無料で袎をレンタルできるサヌビスを利甚
💪党郚ママが頑匵っおセット気合ず愛情で乗り切る掟
💇‍♀矎容院予玄は幎前の春から必須・・・近隣の矎容院は即満垭
😱あるママは、朝時に着付けヘアセット・・・

聞けば聞くほど、卒業匏の準備がたるで成人匏レベル。
芪ずしおは「えっ、小孊校の卒業匏だよね」ず䜕床も確認したくなる。

卒業匏の正装、本来の圚り方っお

個人的には、
🎓䞭孊校の制服 or スヌツでいいんじゃない

ずいうのが正盎なずころ。
「みんながやるなら自分も。。。」ずいう同調圧力が匷いず感じるこの瀟䌚。
「本来は自由なはず」なのに、気づけば嚘の小孊校の堎合の女子が袎を着甚する流れに。

これ、経枈的な面のみならず、賢く刀断した方が良い事項ですね。

🌍「卒業匏の袎問題」は賢く刀断しよう

✅本圓に必芁な支出か
→「みんなが着るから」ではなく「自分の䟡倀芳」で刀断する。お子さんも本圓に着たいのか
✅レンタルvs賌入vs譲り受け→賢い遞択をする
→幎生だから、実際どのくらいの費甚がかかるかを提瀺をするこずも良いず思う。
✅将来的なコスト意識を持぀→”お祝い高額出費”の思い蟌みを捚おる

お金の䜿い方は自分の䟡倀芳で決めるものにしたいです。
だからこそ、「卒業匏の袎」は、単なる行事ではなく、本圓に必芁か、子䟛ず䞀緒に考える良い機䌚なのかもしれないなぁ、ず思いたした〜

🌞たずめ袎を着るも着ないも自由だけど・・・

✔自分の䟡倀芳で遞がう
✔お金の䜿い方にメリハリを぀けよう
✔子䟛ずコミュケヌションを取りながら決断できたなら、それが䞀番の䟡倀

あなたなら、どうしたすか

卒業匏の袎、”必芁な出費”ですかそれずも 

🎓 Graduation Ceremony and Hakama – A Mother’s Honest Thoughts 🎓

It’s graduation season!
These days, it’s becoming common for both boys and girls to wear hakama at elementary school graduation ceremonies.

As I was born in the Showa era, I felt …“Hakama for elementary school graduation!? What !?”
Back in my day, I wore a handmade dress sewn by my mother at my own graduation ceremony.

Of course, the colorful hakama outfits look beautiful, and the various hairstyles are adorable.
But
 the preparation, the dressing, the salon appointments
 It must be a huge burden for parents!

This spring, my own daughter wore a hakama to her graduation,though! 😂

My Honest Feeling: I Want to Save Money !

To be honest, I didn’t 100% agree with wearing a hakama for elementary school graduation.
So, I wanted to keep the costs as low as possible! But at the same time, I also wanted to respect my daughter’s wishes.

Luckily, my daughter (perhaps sensing my feeling?) was totally fine with a hand-me-down hakama!
Plus, she didn’t mind if we avoided professional hair styling and dressing services—what a relief!

As a result
 we spent almost nothing! 🎉

💰 Breakdown of Our Graduation Hakama Costs
✅ Hakama → Gifted by a friend! (Passed down from past captains of her sports team—full of sentimental value! ❀)
✅ Hair accessories & boots → from my own Coming-of-Age Ceremony!
✅ Hairstyling → Done by Mindy, referring YouTube tutorials!
✅ Dressing → Done by Mindy’s Mom !

In the end, our total spending was practically zero! 🎉

How Did Other Moms Handle It?

I asked some moms, and everyone had different strategies:

👘 Some got free hakama rentals from the uniform shop where they ordered junior high school uniforms.
💪 Some moms did everything themselves—hair, dressing, the whole package!

💇‍♀ Salon reservations had to be made a year in advance! → Local salons were fully booked almost immediately.
😱 One mom told me they started hairstyling and dressing at 4 AM
!!

Hearing all this, I feel,
“Wait, isn’t this just an elementary school graduation!? Such a Coming-of-Age ceremony, isn’t it? ” 😅

What’s the Ideal Attire for Graduation?

Personally, I think

🎓 Middle school uniforms or a simple suit would be fine!

Technically, there’s no dress code—it’s supposed to be a free choice.
I think, social pressure and the ‘everyone else is doing it’ mentality are a huge for us.
And so, 98% of the girls at my daughter’s school ended up wearing a hakama.

🌍 The Hakama from a Financial Literacy Perspective

✅ Is this expense really necessary? → Don’t just follow the society—make decisions based on your own values.
✅ Rent, buy, or borrow? → Choose the smartest option for your situation.
✅ Develop cost-conscious thinking early! → Celebrations don’t have to mean expensive spending.

Money is something you should spend according to your own values, not social pressure.
So in that sense, the elementary school hakama debate is actually a great opportunity to think about financial literacy!

âž»

🌞 Conclusion: To Wear a Hakama or Not? It’s Up to You!

✔ Don’t just follow the society—make decisions based on your own values.!
✔ Being smart with money is the first step to financial literacy!
✔ That said
 if my daughter was happy, then maybe that was the most valuable thing of all.

So, what would you do?

Would you consider a graduation hakama a necessary expense? Or
 something else? 🎓👘
