True. I suspect prices in Japan will not go up as quickly as the currency is falling, which means that in Japanese terms we will get better off over time if the currency continues to weaken. But not overseas.beanhead wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 3:01 pmWithin Japan you can control what you spend to a certain extent to ease the pain.RetireJapan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 12:41 pm
Net worth goes up, purchasing power goes down.
Not sure how to feel about that
Travel overseas though? It really hits home. I had to go to Europe for work and for the money I spent myself I just had to stop thinking about the prices, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
I did pay 600yen for 1 bottle of water once, which I can't remember doing in Japan.
Hence a lot more domestic travel recently!
