This is NOT a rant or whining, Iā€™m genuinely just curious how people ā€œfeelā€ financially these days.

Iā€™ve 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 ā€œokā€? If 2-4 years ago I could feel ā€œcomfortableā€ with how much I earn and also have some money to save, maybe travel abroad even, now itā€™s just ā€œkinda getting by alrightā€.

I also somehow donā€™t 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 youā€™re 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%...
