    Is the worsening economy making people struggle?
    No, it’s the children that are wrong.

    What the fuck does this even mean. The age is higher now than it ever was. Japanese youth struggling with debt is from poor education

    lmfao.

    I see so many full time working foreigners on the jlife sub complaining that despite living here for years, they can’t get a credit card… yet a bank will give an 18 year old local kid with no job a credit card where he can build up a 1 million + yen debt and default on it.

    I guess they should high it up again XD.

    Seriously, feels like they made the change faster than even people expected.
