Yes the enjoying life, and spending money is dead on good sir. When they get married they cant live this life anymore. But we shouldn't leave the economy out of the equation.
Japans credit score was just downgraded AGAIN, and this time it was a big blow to Japan Inc/government.
Job salaries, and benefits are extremely low, and many Japanese are forced to find jobs via hakengaisya (staffing firms) vs direct life time hire. If you ever deal with a staffing firm in Japan (possibly if your an ALT you would understand) you could work for the same company for 10 years straight, but your salary would never increase. So what is a man and women to do making 240,000 yen a month for 10 years? Nothing. They cant get married until they save...Or quit their jobs frequently and travel, which makes them push back marriage even further.
