  1. Who’s real wages? My wife and I both don’t even more than we used to 5 years ago but everything is more expensive and there’s still talk about price raises for products in my area. Our lives are worse now than ever in Japan. 

  2. Articles forget it’s been 17 consecutive months of « real wage loss »

  3. My 2000 Yen raise per Koma at the university doesn’t do shit 🙂 What am I supposed to do? Buy a house? lol

  4. Not sure whose real wage went up. Definitely not mine or anyone else’s that I know.

  5. Of course. Its as plain as day that prices are only going to increase, so why risk it?

  6. Whats this bullshit? Everything keeps going up in price and wages might be advancing for a few people, but not for everyone. People are going to cut unnecessary spending and only buy essentials till either the yen gets stronger or minimum wages go up for everyone.

  7. My first wage rise in over 17 years finally goes into my bank on the 21st of the month. It’ll take me a good year or more to get on top of things before I begin frivolous spending. I’m a Japanese household.
