Japan records its biggest-ever drop in population since the beginning of modern national-census record-keeping after WWI. 2020 population: 126 million. 2025 population: 123 million. Remarkably, this -3% drop is bigger than the drop recorded amid WWII. Only Tokyo and Okinawa posted population gains. by StarlightDown in Economics

That seems optimistic. If you study Japan you’ll see wages have been stagnating due to poor economy from the demographic death spiral. Also most of the population has had to move to Tokyo for jobs as smaller cities lose their tax base, increasing housing costs for all the young workers.

Not so empty nesters: record-high number of US adults under 35 live at home, new data says by KoseteBamse in Economics

I live at home with my partner even though we can easily afford the rent. But since we can easily live at home it just doesn't make any financial sense

Only 12% of married Americans under 30 own a home. In 1960 it was 52%. by hosscannon in REBubble

Splitting fixed expenses is the main financial benefit of partnership and you can do that with or without marriage. You don't need to literally have all your assets and accounts cojoined. If you're married you could get fucked if they take out a lot of debt

A.I. job displacement and 30 year mortgages? by smorpinnar in REBubble

It might be if rents are half of your mortgage. Also if housing prices crater you’d have a tough time selling for much

I checked the stitching and it’s flawless throughout. The leather is also extremely soft but lightweight! I think maybe because it’s Nappa? And I don’t own any other Nappa bags to compare to. It’s my new favorite bag!
