Is thinking that you want money a bad thing?
Details of 30-second Gold No-Discretion Scalping
✅✅ It is said that Japanese people are not very attached to money.
Few people would openly say, "I love money!"
Because humility is valued in Japan,
"I never seem to have money"
"This month is tough too"
are voices you often hear.
On the other hand,
"I’m exhausted from earning too much"
"There is money left over and I can’t help it"
are not common expressions.
In Japan,
"greedy for money"
"mean (miserly toward money and goods)"
"money-hoarder"
and so on, there are many terms that carry not-so-positive images of money.
If we trace back to the origins, it is said that the Edo period's class system of samurai, farmers, artisans, and merchants ingrained such awareness.
Merchants were treated as a lower class than those who farmed or made things.
Suchbackground is also believed to have had an influence.
Acceleration of young people distancing from certain things
You have probably heard phrases like "the trend of young people distancing from X" in the news.
Especially the issue of "young people delaying marriage" becoming a national problem,
as more young people do not marry, it accelerates the declining birth rate.
Many reasons for not marrying include:
Financial reasons
Not perceiving any benefits to marriage
Poor cost performance
and so on.
The fundamental instinct of humans to continue the species has been outweighed by cost performance.
✅✅ While there are many factors such as changes in era, diversity of thought, and the spread of hobbies and entertainment,
it is somewhat sad that people have started to consider marriage in terms of cost performance.
Of course, not only marriage, but also the high initial and maintenance costs of "youth car ownership"
and the wastefulness of socializing with bosses or drinking expenses are also rapidly increasing among the young.
Again, these are largely rooted ineconomic reasons.
Differences in attitudes toward money
Japan has not had a very favorable attitude toward money,
but what about overseas cases?
In the West and the US, financial literacy is actively taught in schools.
In America, there is no public pension system, so individuals must save for retirement, making such education essential.
On the other hand, Japan has a robust pension system and social insurance, which leads to these differences.
Moreover, abroad, changing jobs proactively has become normal.
✅✅ For career advancement and skill development, people repeatedly switch jobs, raising their market value and earning potential.
Many companies also offer favorable terms and bonuses to top talent, with contracts and work rules oriented toward mobility.
??In contrast, in Japan, lifelong employment, unpaid overtime, and prohibition of side jobs are still deeply rooted, and these social structures and attitudes contribute to the observed differences.
"Wanting money" is not evil
I will not discuss the common question of whether money can buy happiness here.
Differences in values and circumstances among individuals are natural and unavoidable.
??However,it is not right to view the desire to want money as eviland I think it is possible to use money as a motivator.
Humans have needs for recognition and material goods, and money can satisfy those needs, sometimes motivating us.
While money may not guarantee happiness, it certainly expands our options.
✨✨ With this in mind, reconsider the feeling or desire to want money, and
if necessary, it might be good to explore new possibilities such as side jobs or investments.
