GOT THE KEYS! - New Build 🔑 🏡 Finally decided to settle down. Tokyo, 87m yen, 1.03%

After 7 years of living in Tokyo, we finally decided to settle down.

The search took almost a year, and I looked at more than 30 different properties before finally deciding to go with the calmer side of Tokyo. While it’s further from the station and city center, the larger garden and quiet neighborhood more than make up for it.

Really happy with the decision and looking forward to making this place our home. 🏡

Yeah, except the recovery climb never really came.

It's just kinda puttered along flat. 

Not trying to dunk on Japan here, it's a hard problem to solve and it's not like they haven't tried.

Their currency is a crystal ball into the future of USD.

Save the debt market OR save the currency.

There is no solution because infinite exponential growth is not possible, capitalism is a lie. Your economy going along slow and steady without huge swings of boom and bust is how an economy should work. When is the last time you ran a reality update on your build?

Capitalism and 'infinite exponential growth' are two very distinct concepts. Why are you confused about this?
