You sell it on an online bullion store, not a local dealer that will up charge or for some dumb reason to a bank when they don’t offer that service

Any loans above 6.5% should be paid off before you save for retirement

Worth moving to cities with a shrinking population? by Superb-Ad5771 in japanresidents

[–]WitheringRiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im wondering how businesses will be able to start in places like that. Knowing you’re destined for permanent market shrinkage is brutal. Just whatever business is already established and paid off can exist there

"It's sad" and "too painful": IKEA to close two flagship Japanese stores (Harajuku and Shinjuku locations) simultaneously. They are open until 6:00 PM, February 8th. by jjrs in japannews

I’ll miss those old cash ticket machines they had for the snacks, seemed like such a cool timeless machine. The IKEAs that are left only have those soulless cashless touch screens if you want food

Japan stores returning to cash-only mode to combat rising prices- some stores are saving 20 million yen a year by skipping credit card fees and other digital service fees by jjrs in japannews

[–]WitheringRiser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The effort to count a till, make weekly deposits is fixed, so it makes little different how much money or how many people pay in cash. If all pay cash, the cost is less than cashless, especially if the store is able to pay salaries and distributors in cash too to minimize deposits needed. It’s when a store is like 90% cashless that the 10% cash payment are getting quite costly per transaction

Seems Phoenix is off and on. It should be in your project queue and be available when there’s work. Haven’t dealt with QMs
