@professionalbigot69 80,000 yen allowance?!
That's not much, but I can rent a really cheap place, buy all the food, pay utilities, and have some spare change left with the kind of money.

Instead I got a degree in software engineering, bought an apartment, what a fucking moron I am, straddled with a mortgage for the next 30 years, instead of waking up at noon and reading manga...

I would say FML, but let's be real, I'm not a woman, and my parents would literally beat me senseless if I try to pull of some BS like that, so this is a lifestyle that's impossible for me.
