If you’re earning in USD then you’re good. Otherwise it’s bad. More on reddit.com

If? A few things will happen (or continue to happen). Chinese and other wealthy individuals will continue to dump/park money into Tokyo vanity real estate. Tokyo property prices will continue to rise -- but I think there will be a significant lag in rental cost hikes (e.g. lower investment return margins) Japanese automakers will continue to benefit against their US peers. Although the US is getting a bit stretched with a higher interest rates making car loan borrowing difficult. I think these two will balance themselves out somewhat. Long term shift for Japan to become more dependent on tourism amid weak yen. Higher salaries are coming soon -- yeah it is damped by the yen's weakness against all but the ruble, but good domestically as the first big salary increase opportunity in decades. Cost of goods will continue to go up. But there will be *some* shift back to domestic products away from China. Defense spending will become more indigenous -- reduction in US spending on defense articles. It will continue to harm Japan's reliance on cheap foreign labor from SE Asia for manufacturing. This could bring average wages up somewhat, but introduces domestic inflation. It also hampers Japan's plan (non-plan) to attract foreign immigrants. More on reddit.com

I still just shift the decimal in my head based on the old 1 USD = 100 yen rates. If I’m willing to pay the price that gives me, there’s no harm in the real total being a bit less than that. If it’s a big purchase or I’m on the fence and want an exact total, I’ll use my phone calculator like you’ve mentioned. More on reddit.com
