@kisaeries: this is gonna burst some people’s dream of moving to japan. japan is not cheap on a japanese salary. 🥲 #livinginjapan #lifeinjapan #japanstruggles #japanisexpensive
this is why it makes me so upset when people who make USD come to Japan and say how cheap everything is here, it's cheap for you because you don't make yen! lol

i FEEL like most people in the world are kinda living paycheck to paycheck, without any excess to save or invest to earn more money.

There is nothing unique about this. This is America too…low pay, high living cost, credit card, can not buy a home …only people who made it are boomers …now young people are out of luck unless they came from a family of money

I actually just found out that international English teacher only make about $20k a year in Japan, that's why that are Japanese teachers who have to work double jobs to afford to pay their bills!

If you have savings, buying a house or mansion is cheaper than renting in Tokyo.

My ex worked at a big corporation in Shinagawa. She was hired after college and even after working there for 6 years she could not comfortably afford an apartment and had to move in with her grandparents.

When i was an English teacher in 2014-15 i was making 235k - 320k pm. Rent was 55k. I can not believe how bad it's gotten now. I was there last year and everything is expensive. I don't know how typical families are doing it!!

the biggest issue is that base pay has been the same for the last few DECADES while everything is getting more and more expensive
