Is it unfair for single people to “fire themselves and retire early”？ A post from 12 years ago on a certain message board is attracting renewed attention．
What will happen to Japan when the Lost Generation becomes elderly? Writer Otadera Kei said, “The number of elderly people who remain unmarried and live alone will increase sharply. Since the financial hurdle for retirement is low, the number of people with a fire-oriented mindset may increase. That is a risk for Japanese society, but we cannot blame this generation.” The “legendary copypasta” that spread on anonymous message boards is back —- Until now, we’ve made fun of NEETs and temp workers, bashing them and calling them self-blame, spoiled, trash, and saying cruel things like “let them starve to death,” but the consequences of all of this will come back to haunt our own country, our own companies, and our own lives. And not only the people, but even those in power are unaware of this. In reality, we would ask that everyone in their 20s to 40s have stable employment, get married, and have at least two children, and ideally three or four, but we have created a society in which this working generation has to desperately search for work while exuding a sense of despondency even when it comes to finding their first job, making it difficult for them to succeed. And we have continued to ridicule the weak and leave them in a society where once you stumble you can never return. It is only natural that causing financial anxiety among working-age people will directly lead to less marriage and a declining birthrate. That’s really stupid. Society as a whole ridicules weak men who are NEETs or temporary workers, treats them like trash, and company employees who act nonchalantly, saying things like, “Who would hire someone like that lol,” are now finding themselves at a loss as the companies they work for go bankrupt due to shrinking domestic demand caused by an extremely low birthrate and aging population. Then the pension system collapsed and the whole country collapsed. The fact that I am currently living in a rich country called Japan, with its rich infrastructure and enjoying a happy life, is all thanks to “someone else having children for us and sustaining our nation’s strength.” The old rulers knew this. He knew that “a country can never prosper unless everyone is rich.” That’s why I didn’t abandon the bottom. There’s no such thing as a wishy-washy story like “I can be the only one who is rich.” —- This is a piece of writing that seems to realistically describe the current state of affairs, but I didn’t write it. This is an anonymous message board… Continue reading President Online javascript:void(0);.
>>1 I’ve finished raising my children and have grandchildren. I changed jobs and now earn 3 million yen a year. I own my own home @ 55 years old. I can die anytime now.
I’ve got a fire going, I go mountain climbing every day, I go mountain climbing when I feel like it, I camp out in a tent, and I drink from noon onwards.
>>8 Fired. I play games every day. Golf, fishing, and long trips when the mood strikes. I drink from noon onwards, but for some reason I’m stingy and make sure to take days off from drinking.
The end result of traitorous LDP politics: The foolish people who refused to vote and allowed the LDP to continue in power have brought it all upon themselves.
That being said, it’s better not to work. There are some incompetent hard workers. I gave up because I couldn’t communicate. The company isn’t to blame.
Rather than becoming a disposable person, learn how to invest in stocks with one of Japan’s three greatest genius investors, Toshiya Imura, who went from being poor at 1 million yen to being rich at several tens of billions!
If I don’t kill time with DIY renovations, tinkering with cars, fishing, and games, I’ll go crazy because I have no goals or objectives. I live in the country, divorced, single, 53 years old, unemployed (for 4 years).
It’s ok, in 100 years we’ll all be American or Chinese, so don’t worry about it. Or we’ll all be dead from global warming. Everyone, just enjoy the present.
When left-wing parties like the Socialist Party were powerful, the LDP couldn’t do as it pleased. Japan was generally middle-class and wealthy back then. But this is what happened as the LDP gained too many seats.
>>23 Regardless of whether the left is good or not, it’s only natural that people will get lazy and lose their votes if there’s no opposition. The public should think a little more before voting. Not voting is out of the question.
With welfare you get about 1.5 million yen a year, and with Fire you get more than that, so your take-home pay is about 3 million yen. You can’t make 100 million without assets. If you’re a financial man, maybe you can make it by the time you’re 40?
At 38, I was done making money and it was basically fire. At 48, I wasn’t making any money, but the job I wanted to do was finished and I was taking it easy. I’m a little too old now, at 56. I have two children and two grandchildren.
They don’t get married, don’t have kids, and just think about themselves and live as they please. We should take the retirement savings these idiots have saved up as a single tax and then shoot them.
My social studies teacher in elementary school taught us the Eejanaika dance and we all danced together. Apparently it was useful in overthrowing the shogunate.
These Chonga guys who don’t get married, don’t have children, and just live as they please are the cause of the declining birthrate, so we should collect a singles tax on the retirement funds they have saved.
Wealth = inequality, so it’s impossible for everyone to be rich unless it’s through developments in science and technology Even if everyone’s annual income reaches the hundreds of millions, prices will just rise accordingly and it won’t change the fact that those below the average are poor and those above the average are rich.
>>36 But wasn’t it said that during the period of high economic growth, 100 million people were middle class? Even if not for everyone, it was possible to achieve this to a certain extent But it was just a good time.
>>36 One hundred million middle class Japan was the most prosperous country in the world during the period of high economic growth. Compared to that, how can you say that today’s society, where only a very small percentage of people are getting fat through investment, is better than it was then?
Work hard for 3 years and make 10 million, then use that as a down payment to buy a rental apartment building with a 10% chance of earning 100 million that you inherited, then use it to pay off the entire amount in 10 years, then borrow 100 million using the apartment building as collateral, and buy another apartment building with a 10% chance of earning 100 million. At this stage your annual income will exceed 10 million, so fire away.
If you listen carefully to the words and actions that are all over the world, you’ll realize that even toilet graffiti has a certain amount of influence.
However, the older generation who did this did not take responsibility, instead pushing the responsibility onto the younger generation and running away to their deaths.
