“Write down everything I want first…” he nodded as he repeated the advice back. “That makes a lot of sense.”

He knew how much his trip with Ziggy would cost, since he’d been saving up for it. But he had no idea how much the rent at a bigger apartment would cost, or how much a house would cost. He hadn’t exactly been looking at that sort of thing once they signed the lease for the place they moved into three years ago. He didn’t know exactly how much student loan debt Isamu still had either, but he knew he’d probably give some to his brother to help him pay it off.

It was obvious that the wheels were turning. He was thinking about that list, to the point that the afterthought about paying yourself first faded into the background.

Granted, that was a piece of advice he’d heard from his father - though not in this context. It was one of the many reasons why Itaru was pleased that his son went back to school and was disappointed when he dropped out. Like Mikkel, Minoru did some very active and manual jobs that he wouldn’t be physically able to do forever.
