"Be a Prince and Be a Beggar"

"Being a Prince and a Beggar" is Matsuura Yataro's life and travel notes, this book is not about financial management. But in the days when you may have to eat poor due to the epidemic, "being a prince and a beggar" may be a new attitude to spending money: only buy things that are of good quality and durable, and that you like very much. Others can be second-hand or shared with others. of.

A few years ago, "MUJI" opened its flagship store at Lee Stage and gave lectures at PMQ in Central. They brought another boutique brand idee to Hong Kong this time, and set up a counter in the flagship store. He introduced that the brand has been re-operated in recent years, focusing on home furnishings such as furnishings and paintings. The reason why these products are mainly sold, he said, is because the tastes of customers have improved. I asked him if it was because of more "education" from magazines and media, he didn't give a positive answer, just said that it was improved. I think the pattern of spending has changed. In the 1980s and 1990s, people mainly spent on clothing and social life. When the economy is down and you spend more time at home, you naturally want to have a comfortable home, so you spend more money than ever to live at home. If you like to watch Japanese vlogs, you will find that many vlogs are about cooking at home, cleaning the house, picking up clothes or buying household items. This is a change in consumption patterns, which means an improvement in the quality of life. This improvement is not necessarily linked to the social economy.
