So all of us have to think about how to spend and save money more wisely.
I feel like suspecting groundlessly that panjandrums would never understand this anxiety...
As I was wondering what to write on this diary, I heard a comment by an economy analyst on the radio:
As long as this analyst sees this year's national budget, it looks like the government is trying to boost up GDP in July to September in our country and make up a data that economic condition in our country is firm, so that they can raise consumption tax again.
In short, window-dressing settlement of economy in our country seems to be going on.
Even International Monetary Fund is warning against economic policy by the current cabinet, but it's doubtful they listen to it.
-The memorandum is about it for today.
Now main story:

I'm also the one who bought various things during March before consumption tax was raised.
after the raise of consumption tax;
Inexpensive things and things I should buy each time I need, which I can get at local independent shops .
I thought that I could contribute to local economy, because it's easy to expect that consumption would drop from April.
As for purchases that can control life, destiny and timing is more important factors to decide whether to buy, such as real estate.

I saw and had a taken to an idea on a magazine that money is a token of applause .
Spending money not only supplies the want, but also brings profit to shops, producers and manufacturers, companies, and sometimes countries.
For example, if you like to have a drink after work, how about going to a local independent bar instead of bar chain?
-Me? I've already lost a habit of going for a drink regularly while I was fighting psychotic depression, that's why I place this example.
You might spend money on some products and service just because they are cheap,
　But if such products and service are from companies exploiting laborers, polluting environments, and violating law and ordinances,
　　Then it means you are supporting such unscrupulous companies - am I making sense?
Realistically, due to financial situation and various reasons, sometimes we have little choice,

-But even so, how about spending money thinking of contribution to society at best?
-Me? On this Valentine's season, I DIDN'T give chocolates to people in my office.
(By strategy of confectionary companies in our country, this season seems to be regarded as a season women give gifts to men at every occasion.)
I heard that cheap chocolate on the market widely are made from cacaos beat down of prices.
But I didn't know where I can get fair trade chocolate.
So instead, I gave soap I bought from an ethical cosmetic manufacturer.

spending money is categorized as investment, consumption and waste.
At the same time... isn't it time we grow up to be wise consumers considering social effects?
