What should high school students know about the economy and finance?"
It is important to always think and study about what will happen in the future. When you watch the news, do you think about what you are watching? Or do you just watch the news? If you are the latter, you are wasting your time. It is not necessary to read through all the news. It is important to first think about how the news you are interested in will turn out in the future.
I see...it's very important to think about the news in connection with the future."
That's right. Not only news, but TV commercials and new product introductions in newspapers also play a major role. These are born out of the needs of many people, so watching them is also a way to stay in touch with the economy. Again, the present may not last forever, so we should always be in touch with the news and consider how times are changing."
What are your thoughts on the future of the Japanese economy?"
I don't think that Japan's economic power will surpass the United States or decline significantly. Japan is not as strong in venture companies as the United States. I believe that the Japanese economy will follow a parallel line. To do that, I think we need the efforts of the next generation.
What is your investment need?
It is the ability to dispel bad thoughts about the economy. I think everyone has a lot of bad thoughts about the economy. However, I think that you can discover the good side of the economy by touching the economy through investment. Also, investing is surprisingly simple, so it's easy for first-timers to get involved.In addition, you can see the future
It would be nice if we could learn about the difficulty and necessity of earning other things. But you can't live with just this, right?A large amount of knowledge about money such as taxes and insurance is necessary to live.As one of the education, Japan will make financial education compulsory from April 2022. However, I don't think there are many people in foreign countries who are actually familiar with it.In Japan, it has just started, so there are almost no materials, so I can't say anything, but I don't want you to follow the same path as in other countries. I have no choice but to look forward to.
Lastly, please give a message to high school students.
Economy has connections on a national scale, not on an individual basis, so I want everyone to know that even the simplest things in everyday life are connected to the Japanese economy. I want you to buy it.
I have connections with various people. I see. Thank you for spending your valuable time today.
