**[Volume 2, Folio 29, Verso]**
▲ Regarding the expenses incurred in raising and nurturing a child: each year, 2 *koku* of *hanmai* (half-hulled rice) and 50 *me* of silver are recorded as miscellaneous expenses, beginning from the child's fifth year. Note that in the first year (age 5), the miscellaneous expenses amounted to 2 *koku*, 5 *shō*, 2 *gō*. From the second year onward, a further 2 *koku* is added, and compound interest at 20% (*niwari*) is applied. Likewise, in the third year, another 2 *koku* is added and 20% interest applied, and so on.
Now, [spending only] these 2 *koku* and 50 *me* is truly the manner of raising a child for a person of modest means. If one were to calculate the expenses of those who raise their children in comfort and plenty (*eyō ni*), there would truly be no end to it. Seeing this, it is no wonder that the money of those who have no children does not grow.
