Second Homes

Milton Pedraza, chief of the Luxury Institute, a research group, said, “People become slaves to their homes.”

"The survey also determined that the percentage of the husband’s annual income devoted to discretionary spending was 12% in the U.S.; 19% in the UK; 14% in Italy; and 35% in China.

“In Japan, the figure was only 8%,” Yamada notes, adding that the practice of men handing over their entire pay packet to their wives is not widespread outside Japan."
