I believe in the next 10 years we will see massive change in terms of the global economy as well as Japans “desperation” to encourage younger people to have children. Big changes are upon us and it would be wonderful to be a part of it in Japan.

Foreign tourists may be having a blast, but when Japan imports 60% of its food, all of its fuel ect it’s devastating for the locals.

Not many Japanese visit us in Australia anymore. However on the other hand there are ever growing numbers of young Japanese working holiday makers who can earn AUD$23-30 an hour or more in hospitality, retail work and farming compared to around 1000 yen / AUD$10 back home. Employers love them because they’re so polite and diligent and we have countless Japanese restaurants which is a good place to get started before branching out and doing a bit of sightseeing.

I'm a poker player in Los Angeles and recently I noticed many Japanese people in the poker room. I talked to some of them. They live in share house and are remote workers in Japan. They stay for 3 months to play poker and then go back. They do say everything is expensive in LA but it is easy to make money and save it. They say they can make one month salary in just a few days.

Countries who have all their eggs in one basket PAYS for the American inflation. #2. Japan should make better relations with Russia and China, because Russian natural resources will help make Japanese manufacturers competitive. China because they have a huge consumer market and like to buy Japanese made products. I'm not saying abandon the US, but Japan needs to diversify for sure. Making better relationships with Russia and China will also mean you will spend LESS on military.

Yes, It looks bad if your traveling abroad but in reality your currency devaluation will really help your economy and to also export products made there. It's not all bleak only if you do a lot of traveling abroad. Part of it is also that the US has really high interest rates which is also part of the problem which makes it more attractive to have US deposits in US Banks. This wont last forever. Interest rates will drop by the end of the year which could help the yen out so that's on the horizon.

It’s true with the current exchange rates. But within Japan itself, the living cost situation isn’t as bad as many other places

I live in Shanghai and I've already travelled to hokkaido last year, the hotel prices are rising, plane tickets aren't cheap either, so travelling to Japan isn't cheaper than a few years ago, it actually feels more expensive now since there are so many travelers. Sure many goods in Japan are cheaper, but there are so many cheaper options in China, the Japanese items are still more expensive than Chinese alternatives. Even though many people from rich countries are buying brand goods from Japan, but as Chinese I still think I will not buy brand stuff just to save money and enjoy the trip.

I find this oddly relaxing. And interesting at the same time.

Well you are sitting duck anyway.

Keep it up. It is good to see and hear your perspective on what is happening. I live here in Japan and can see how things have been deteriorating. Unfortunately Japan's debt to GDP ratio is the highest in the world and the government seems oblivious to this issue and seems to have no good solutions. Some Japanese exporting companies will do well in this situation of weak Yen but importers will struggle and the prices will start to go up for everything. It is funny but If a person saves money in the USD, they can get 10% on 1 month time deposits (annual rate so 1/12 of that in a month). They can roll it over each month and if the Yen gets weaker, they can exchange back to Yen and get a big benefit. Is that what the rich are doing in Japan these days? I am sure some people are doing that. But as for the bigger picture, will Japan ever become a truly independent country? Will the education system ever change to teach young people to be skeptical and have their own opinions? These are topics you could also cover.

Japanese service and products are extremely high level and disciplined so i think you will not be poor. But its not so good to work in Japan now or live as a local due to the weakening Yen. 15 years ago Yen was strong, things were expensive for foreigners. But at current Yen rates, I would definitely visit Japan again. I had the Hitsumabushi at 3300 yen while my country will charge more than $30 for this dish.

The Hong Kong dollar is one of the few currencies still pegged to the US$. Therefore the Yen will also be at a 34 year low against HK$.

In Hong Kong there’s no import duty on many things, including designers’ items, unlike Japan. Also food and transport are generally inexpensive in Hong Kong compared to Japan.

Our cost of living is high in the UK but the good thing for us is when we travel our currency is stronger in most places. I dread to think what it’s like for people from lower currency countries. It makes everywhere so expensive for you.

Same in europe…

A large part of the reason for this is that interest rates are now higher in the US and other countries but in Japan they are still very low, so people want to move to those other currencies to get higher interest rates in their bonds and savings accounts. In the US it is easy to get 5+% interest rates now with government bonds or even just a savings account at a bank. The exchange rate actually was fine before that, even despite the economic stagnation in Japan. I think it will mostly go back if the interest rate gap reduces again. But I think the US is not going to cut rates in the immediate term. Another thing to note is that the Yen has gotten even weaker than it looks because the US has experienced higher inflation than Japan in the last several years by quite a bit, so wages in terms of USD have gone up a lot more than wages in Japan have in yen.

Yes I am totally agree with you life here in Japan is getting difficult. Salaries are not increasing and the common goods or foods are getting very expensive. Anyway I lived here in Japan for more than 24 years.

This is normal Macro Economics Equilibrium of world economy. As more countries get more developed everything starts to equal out. Perfect example is the US in its economic height post WW2 cause every industrilized country was flatten only the US produced. Once others started to produce the US looses that production which was the 70's. Same has happened to Japan, where Japan's economic height was the 80's. Currently we are seeing this with China, their peak was the 2010's.

Very interesting. One should remember that during the Japanese golden 80's, the Yen was also valued low, at 200 yen/USD. It might be that the yen need to be this weak, to restart the economy? What would happen to exports if the Yen was at around 100 to the dollar?

Weak yen is very good for exporting industry. Also if tourists say the price is very cheap, then of course increase the price for them.

Exchange rate is a double edged sward, cheep Yen is good for the Japanese export, which japan does a lot. On the other hand, it's bad for the import, because Japan has to import so many things. Some years ago, the exchange rate for US dollar vs Yen was 1:~90, and many Japanese economists including my friends talked so much about how bad it was gonna be to the Japanese economy, but it obviously wasn't that bad as they predicted, so this time it will also be fine, Japan will get through things like this just like they did it many times in the past.

Remittances sent abroad trump investing in the country they work and visit because of the huge difference in currencies and that impact is greater especially if the visiting and working populace is solely from one or two countries.. Should greater 'diversity' occur then? What is the impact of the currency difference? Short term, money comes in, increased labour commodification but long term=deteriorating work conditions and trade deficit, has greater problem if it's too much and too soon. Some countries depend so much on exporting labour, which is their 'main' commodity', that it is having a worldwide economic detrimental effect on all countries, as more countries with 'main' economics make it the norm, even those with a strong history of hard-earned workers' rights and strong economic businesses..It is globally spreading. I have had about 5-9 managers in one year,(minimum) half of them I don't really know, musical chairs, but they keep coming in-it is getting closer and closer to an old soviet commune style operation. . . it's ridiculous. All of them from India and they just keep coming.

I grew up with: Panasonic, SONY, TDK… what a companies!! Recently I had Toyota Celica (now I have Mustang). The Japanese electronics will be my always favourite products!!🔥🙂👍

Thanks for your comment

Thanks. I am from France and believe me, our economic situation is far worse. The French national debt is enormous, and most is own by foreign interests... Which is not the case for Japan. Take care

I think you dont understand economics. but alas....

While it is true that a country with few natural resources can thrive, it becomes extremely difficult when global trade slows or stops. How can a country thrive without global trade? What are the alternatives, and what would be your solution?

Im bullish on JPY. The Yen just hit its bottom. I know travel is expensive now but it won`t be in the future. Do Japanese people invest?

The United States values Money. I am Mexicano American which we are called Chicano .. People who live in Mexico are much happier because family and friends are more important than money. My white friends who go to Philippines , Vietnamese , thiallinad and bring back their wife’s. After two years, they want money. The poor guys get divorced. Americans value Money Must important.. Just being honest.. Frank 😅

That’s a very massive generalization of 350 million people lol. I’d say you’re right to some extent but there’s many people in USA who I have met that value family over money. Anyways best of luck to you on this journey of life.

In Europe some countries have 6 weeks consecutive summer holidays and I'm not talking about students :D

@@Centre14 but nobody really takes 20 days off in one go for holidays, right? I'm from Germany and my parents even had 6 weeks paid holidays in the 90s and 2000s. And on top of that there are also bank holidays. But currently I think France has the best conditions for employees in Europe. Here's what I found online: France: Public Holidays: France has 11 public holidays each year. Annual Leave: Workers are entitled to a minimum of five weeks (25 working days) of paid annual leave. Additionally, French employees often benefit from additional days off known as RTT (Réduction du Temps de Travail), which compensate for the 35-hour workweek regulations, potentially adding up to another two weeks off. Move to Europe my friend! :)

Other countries are experiencing high inflation

Please always think Buy Low and Sell High but when it comes to your own currency if it is low then sell stuff to other countries because your goods are inexpensive in their mind and raise prices to foreigners. Tourism for Japan is at all time high and Japan Rail Pass is getting quite expensive. Other goods and services rising also in popular tourist areas. It is nice of you to create video content about these subject matters.
