This is NOT a rant or whining, Iām genuinely just curious how people āfeelā financially these days.
Iāve been living here for a few years, but with the current state of yen and overall inflation, I feel like I currently liveā¦ on the edge of āokā? If 2-4 years ago I could feel ācomfortableā with how much I earn and also have some money to save, maybe travel abroad even, now itās just ākinda getting by alrightā.
I also somehow donāt see a way out of this, since it looks like this situation with yen and salaries etc is not improving in the near future. This makes me a littleā¦hopeless I guess?
Do you also feel like youāre struggling more than you used to?
Measured in onions eaten, I'd say it went down a lot. But as someone who doesn't want travel much, it's been alright.
Anyway, it's also worth remembering that this recent 3% inflation that we've been hit with is what every year is like in the US, and they recently had 9%. But sadly I think Japan will follow the general trend from now on of "inflation good" and stay at 3%...
