When you do not have financial room to breathe, you end up lowering your head even when you do not want to. That is why preparation for emergencies is essential. It gives you the freedom to say, in the face of unfairness, “Fine, I’ll move on then!”
 
A Sense of Unease Toward an Age of Excess
The other day, the Nikkei Stock Average reached an all-time high. Lately, those words have become somewhat familiar, while also carrying a nostalgic ring.
