Yay
I want you to try sweet potato pie ,
You posted a video about foreigners asking questions about American life. I posted a comment stating that reality and you deleted it. So clearly you don't want to know what America is really like, you want to know what you HOPE it is like. That's hyper-emotionalism.
Rich people can save money. Because they have money.
80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This means we either live based on the check we earn weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. So we budget things to last for that duration. We don't get the luxury of saving.
Now, saving money, trying not to use electricity more than needed, be careful about what we spend to eat...yes, we save. We try too anyway. Some are better than others.
But most of us carry $5,000-50,000 in debt, not including a mortgage. Because we don't earn enough to not carry a lot of debts.
@@WolfsDE The problem is most of you live too expensive. Why have a house when a smaller apartment would do and would be cheaper? Instead of cooking at home, you eat out and you eat waaay too much (look at the high obesity rate in the USA). Instead of using a cheap phone (ie. Nokia 40$) you have a 1000$ iPhone with expensive subscription plan. Stop buying stuff you can't afford and particularly stuff you don't need. Use condoms and don't get kids if you can't afford it. There are many more examples.
Rich people didn't just become rich, they worked hard and managed their money well, despite paying significantly higher taxes. Everyone in the USA has the chance to make a decent living, all you need is work hard & faithfully and manage your money properly. But most of you can't and instead of recognizing that it is your own god damn fault, you blame people that are more successful than you.
As an American I'm really happy that Japan sees us like this 😂
Yes Japanese think American are so cool!
@@MrsEats I really think the same about Japanese culture overall 🥰
@@justboredidkslay Thank you! I'm very happy!! USA is good!
@@MrsEats I'm learning Japanese by the way and my motivation has always been Japanese history food culture and ancient stuff lol 😂
@@MrsEats I fell in love with Japan like every aspect of it with the bad and good the best and worst 💜
When I visited Tokyo, I had just finished lunch and it had started to drizzle a little bit. So I'm standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light, everyone's got their umbrellas out, and this nice old man looks over at me and just scoots over a few steps to share his umbrella for a few moments as we wait and cross the street together. I gave him my best "arigato gozaimasu!" and he smiled and we parted ways, but it really left an impression on me.
Then I spent like 3 hours wandering around Akihabara trying to find the Eorzea cafe like a total otaku.
What a nice guy! Yes lots of Japanese carry regular umbrellas or foldable ones in the bag! Did you get what you were looking for in Akihabara? 😆
Yea, the food was really good and it was a great little Final Fantasy themed cafe! I don’t recommend the Leviathan drink though...very salty
Hi fellow ff14 fan :)
Eorzea?
🥺🥺
It's really funny to see that we seem so cool Japanese people, because here we think that you are cool
Edit: MOM I'M FAMOUS
"The grass is greener on the other side"
Some of my favorite things are from Japan: Shabu-Shabu, Band-Maid, my AE86 Corolla (I wish I still had it), Yokogawa test tools, 5S (some people hate this, I know), the shamisen and great music. The creativity, care and elegance in the art they create makes them very cool!
@JustAMotobug it is called an opinion, why don't you mind your own instead of judging other's...I also think that their artwork is very elegant and beautiful
@JustAMotobug well, American art is some of the most brazen, violent, and loud. Lol
@@into-the-weeds as someone who is neither American OR Japanese, I’d have to say that it really just depends on the artist. Because art is so diverse, blanket statements should be avoided

@@MrsEats yeah! Arnold is a legendary gentleman 👏😌
Yeah, and he's only 6'2" (about 180cm). I'd love to visit Japan, but sometimes I worry of a similar situation being 200 cm tall. Some day, when I've saved enough, I'll go.
@@GregAtlas 188CM to be exact
@@MrsEats I forgot hentai meant perverted for a second and I’m like “no he’s not a nsfw anime”
It was funny because when I was an exchange student in Japan everyone thought I was from India due to my brown skin color. I kept having to tell people that there are many Americans who are naturally brown like me. 😂
Thats what I find is wrong with japan they think most Americans are white 😭
@@Kiara-M why do you think its wrong that another country thinks we are all white, when that is what our media mainly shows to the outside world. Its not their fault, its the fault of our media
@@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid
The media also portrait blacks as bad . Dont forget that .
Its up to the ppl to do their own research and dont be fooled.
Seems like japanese ppl are too busy working and dont have the time to surf the net and explore the world
@Kiara-rl2ro Most Americans are white though....
@gregsamson5538 That's a common thing in most of the world black people are so overrepresented in media, that they think America must be 40% black when it's 12 percent.
I'm guessing we have brightly colored icing here in America because:
1. It attracts children
2. It's festive. Cake is for parties.
3. Generally, we know exactly what the icing tastes like. It's all the same with most big stores so all you have to do is choose what color you want.
Did you know icing for cakes was also made to help it last longer (says Google lol)
It's usually buttercream with food coloring.
Nothing special.
@@meisteremm I think it's the artificial coloring itself that gives everyone else in the world a purple nurple.
We *do* get a little carried away with it sometimes. I mean Walmart puts enough in one cupcake to dye your insides for a week...
@@nicholashodges201 Hey, if my shit doesn't look like somebody chopped up Grimace and left him to decompose in my toilet, I am NOT a happy man.
Don't mess with my peace of mind.
@@nicholashodges201 did you see when burger King came out with those Halloween burgers with a black bun and it was making everyone's poop green lol
That's so funny about the umbrellas. If somebody forgets their umbrella and gets wet, we see it more like "Oh, you are very tough. Even though you forgot your umbrella today, you still pushed through and came to meet with us because you considered us more important than your own comfort."
I don't know why, but seeing someone willing to suffer a hardship for our sake sort of makes us feel like we're more important to them and therefore we can trust them.
As an American living in Japan, all I gotta say is god I miss my neon cupcakes.
Are Japanese sweets that bad??
@@tigeruntamed6036 They tend to be less dense. That is to say, most pastry in Japan is lighter and airer than you would expect as an American. I've eaten single cupcakes in the US that have filled me up like a full meal almost, due to be so heavy and dense. Also, although you can certainly find plenty of chocolate and custard and various cream fillings, the most common filling for sweets here is sweetened red bean paste.
@@TroyBrophy Soo is that bad or not? Lol
this is a mood. my local patisseries cakes are great but sometimes u just miss funfetti neon colored cupcakes 😂
About counselling, I was shocked when a friend of mine (who’s also from Québec) living in Japan for 8 years had a hard time to find a professional so he could deal with his problems. The only people he found prescribed him hard anti-depressants... he really just needed someone to talk to and uncoil his issues. I’m glad it’s getting more common. Psychotherapy is so good for you.
It sure helped me!
In America, most of us are in debt (just like our governent). That's why on TV we make a sensation out of those extreme penny-pinchers who don't buy toilet paper. I guess in a sense, it makes us feel OK with being in debt when we see others going to extreme lengths to avoid it. "I may be in debt, but at least I'm normal, unlike that extreme saver on TV!"
I've learned that being in debt makes me more apt to spend money, whereas having no debt makes me want to spend less.
Debt is part of everyones lives in the world it is impossible to escape debt
@@Cayden675A it's very possible to not have any dept if you're smart about it
@@pickk90 Dept yes. What I meant is that people even in debt have lived with it because every country is in debt
@@Cayden675A yeah but you are not your country. That dept is not yours in any way you'll never have to do anything for it and it will never really impact your life. Unless a government makes it a personal dept for it's people but I don't think any country is doing that
@@pickk90 a country with debt causes less opportunities to change it for the better. Which means everyone experiences debt
honestly america is so different because there isn’t just one culture being shared there’s so many different cultures here so everyone in American gets to experience that , but I can’t relate to my statement since I’m stuck in boring Maryland 😂😂
Hey, don't knock it. Would you prefer boring Maryland or... Florida......?
@@54321blader you know what I could live with Maryland for a few more years lmao
@@54321blader at least Florida has Disney and International Ave.
That's rough. I hope you get an opportunity to escape. Vermont's not bad, today at least, but housing cost near the populous areas has gone nuts since so many are moving into the state. Also, no place to go crabbing. (fresh Maryland crab is the best!)
@@antilogism i live in upper Marlboro and I’ve almost gotten kidnapped like 3 times by the same creepy old white plus it’s nothing to do where I live at so that’s my main reason for hating where I live but also all the crab places where I live suck lmao but yea i get what your saying and thanks for your comment ❤️

I'm surprised and very happy that Japanese people seem to be as interested in Americans as Americans are in Japanese! When it comes to saving money, I think that really just depends on what your parents teach you as you grow up. My mom was always strict with me about saving my money, so for the first couple of years that I was living alone I of course spent it all haha. But now I think I'm pretty good at saving and I owe it to my mama!
Quite true. In America we have an abundance of both penny pinchers and people who see a credit limit as a goal to reach. Along with the huge range between the 2 extremes.
It depends on the city, area, job, culture, etc. The more vain a person is (which is the current trend,) the less their savings are. I think that a study showed that the avg savings for a 30 year old is around 30k (3 million yen), which isn't even close to adequate imho. Considering the health system, if you're not paying insurance that 30k might disappear in a moment.
Some people live paycheck to paycheck (Even if they earn 80k a year)
I wasn’t expecting such a positive response. I guess it’s because I’m used to be told how awful America is by Europeans who don’t live here lol. I shouldn’t have assumed Japanese would think the same way. This video makes me love Japan even more. I hope to go there one day. I started learning Japanese a few weeks ago.
Yes! We like America very much! America is cool and big country with many cool people! Especially Walmart is the best place, hahah!
As a european...... I’m not saying europe is better and would not recommend my country, but europe is better... atleast in healthcare... if you’re lucky. Also, is it true passports costs a lot in the us? Bcs I can’t imagine it being more thsn €100... and that’s for 10 years... (kids are usually cheaper as they need a new one every 5 years)
@@MoonieLovegood It’s not good to compare a country with 328m people with countries that have 60m people or less. It’s much easier to handle issues in small countries like Finland, Sweden and Poland than the US.
@@Pandybears and yet the prime minister of a country with 17m ppl cant do much better than an american one😂 (okey okey.... heks better than trump but thats abt it)
@JustAMotobug it’s just mainly the ppl and politics. Like don’t get me wrong we’re doing pretty well here but the people straight up ignore laws because there is only police active in the bigger cities. The politics atm are a mess... like a REAL mess. (If ur interested i’d say it’s uh.....interesting to say the least)
I live in Florida “The Sunshine State” where it ironically rains almost every single day, so if it’s just sprinkling I won’t use an umbrella, but I always have one ready just in case the bipolar weather of Florida decides it wants to suddenly have monsoon level rains, the rain here is so bad that it actually floods here frequently, so I guess it surprises me that other Americans wouldn’t have a umbrella always ready, at the very least keep one in there car just in case.
Oh so interesting!! Maybe Japanese only think about California or New York! I don't think Florida is so popular spot for Japanese, except Disneyworld! But America is so big so you have many kinds of weather places there!
I live in FL too. If it rains I just run to the car. If its pouring down too hard I just wait a few minutes until it slows down before making a run for it. Japanese people walk more so I imagine they need to keep prepared against the weather more
Yea. I live in the netherlands. Fun fact: weather predictions are almost NEVER accurate. We might have umbrellas in our cars but many children, teens, young adults will never have one with them because they take up much space in a schoolbag that already gives you a spontaneous hernia, and most people use a bicycle so an umbrella really does not help. Hoods are a lot easier. It also usually rains... or you have a sudden 20°C temperature difference in 3 days, even if it never hits 30°C often.. not even in summer.
I live in Florida too and i just live with it since me and umbrellas don't get along
@@KuroInu1213 they’ll just break bcs of the wind anyways😂
Lol, my family calls me a "penny pincher" because I hard-core save money and make budgets all the time. When I was a kid, I used to put all my coins in a literal piggy bank to try and save up for a trip to Disneyland. When we finally went, I was allowed to use my savings (it ended up being like $400 from years of saving) to buy what I wanted there--snacks, souvenirs, etc. And while there I kept counting my money over and over and weighing the value of everything I bought because I only have a certain amount. I was proud to have extra money at the end of the trip to buy a knock-off American Girl doll from Toys R Us afterwards. In college, I figured out quick that making homemade meals was far cheaper than going out, and would make a budget. Once, I was choosing between whether I wanted to buy a cute shirt and have less grocery money, or pass up the shirt---because I refused to go over my budget. I think you have both types in America, though. The ones that save for big things or emergencies, and the ones that spend for smaller things and use credit (and many in-between).
Regarding the question "Why do Americans hate natto?"
Because we've never heard of it.
I would say it looks like leftovers that were not stored properly and has been infested with poisonous molds.
Americans spend more money than you think
My mom just bought $200 worth of clothes on Amazon 😂
Oh! Maybe that's why the lady in the video doesn't use toilet paper! She has no more money to buy it!
@@MrsEats Yes that must be why!
It's a case by case sort of thing ; some people are really good at saving money and some are very terrible at it.
The woman in that video is from a tv show called Extreme Cheapskates. It's a crazy show that features people who use very extreme ways to save money. That woman also took (and ate) food from garbage cans at grocery stores, and did not own a bed. She slept on gym mats she got from the garbage of a school!! 😣
@@MrsEats I see this comment so I’m gonna share something about saving money
I am given a monthly allowance of 15 dollars. Each time I buy something I have a limit unless tax takes up the amount. If I were to buy something that was 7 dollars I would have to wait to get double the amount, so if I get 14 dollars from doing my chores or whatever I’ll allow myself to go buy something again
Some people spend more than 100 dollars a week. Some people are bougie ig 🙄🤚
My friend in Japan thought Beyonce and I loved tanning. I had to send him a bunch of stuff telling him not everyone in the world is white.
I do the same thing with food. Lmao, i try my hardest to save money.
I work for a store that uses. Natural food coloring like turmeric, beets and some flowers =)
Yes, many black models and celebrities are popular here too! I love Naomi Campbell! We used to have young black man who could sing Japanese traditional music very well. His name is Jero and he was very popular too. Now, there is a young comedian named Ike Nwala. He is very funny and his Japanese is so good!
@@MrsEats Jero was very popular. He sang Enka. I saw him perform here in the U.S. a few years ago. I was surprised to learn he had left Japan.
@JustAMotobug SOME people yes. Others just don't know because they aren't taught about other ethnicities, or are just ignorant to the fact of that. My friend LOVES Beyonce. He was in no way insulting her and loves her skin tone for the record. There are differences between racism and ignorant shelterd people in other Countries, as well as what ever Country you reside in and the Country I reside in. There is racism, xenophobia, nazis etc EVERYWHERE. but there are people willing to learn about others. And i will NEVER put everyone in the single category of racist or anything like that because of a few bad apples.
@@MrsEats that's so cool! I also want to apologize if my wording sounded rude in my comment. Sorry about that Mrs. Eats.
I'm rather new to your channel. Do you take subject requests? I'm curious about Kabuki. Are there things tourist can do[ things we can purchase] that we don't know that we can in Japan?
My sister and I want to visit in 2023 or 2024, but wonder if foreigners can purchase Kabuki theater tickets even though we do not understand Japanede.
Thanks Mrs. Eats!
Ughh, your friend sounds odd.
I have about 44k in the bank now after saving for about 6 years or so. I live in a very modest duplex and only spend on what I need. I've been dirt poor and the thought of being like that again scares the crap outta me lol.
I saved 600k myself. I did it over 20 years though. It's said one will need 1.5 mill to retire in the US so I may hit it in another 20 years.
@@animestarlord9021 My hats off to you. I bow in honor. No joke. I'm trying to to get where you are!
@@animestarlord9021 That is awesome. Keep saving, man. You're doing the right thing.
Quite right. A lot of people who grew up with less than others can become good at saving when they start earning. On the other hand, some people who grew up with less think that they have to catch up with what they missed out on, and then they spend every dollar that they earn. Scary. Keep saving, DooM Guy 83. I keep thinking that they will cut social security by the time we retire. I recommend that everyone fund their own retirement, because I don't view the government as being as reliable as we would like it to be.
Excellent goal. Working past 60 years old doesn't appeal to me. With terrible inflation I might still work part time. I try to encourage the young workers at the job site to save money early. I still have perhaps almost two more decades left in the work force, before I want to retire. But time will tell. Back up plan with a back up plan. But save, save, save money.
Wow! I didn't know Japan thought of us like this.
I honestly find Japan way cooler. I really wanna go there one day 🥰
Seeing Arnold being accused of hentai and sadly saying chigau broke my heart T^T
I was surprised to hear him pronounce "chigau".
It could be just me, but I feel like people just don't talk about saving money anymore. It was something I heard as a kid in the 90's, but not so much anymore these days.
Everyone talks about the money that they made never about the money that they saved
(As an American) I think Americans are good at saving money in the short term. We do tend to be thrifty and value savings on things we buy, or getting the most out of the products we have already bought, but we are not good at saving in the long term. A lot of people I know (at least younger people) don’t have savings accounts, or barely have anything in their savings. There is a huge wealth gap in the U.S. and most Americans live in debt.
All that changed with Ronald Reagan and supply-side economics. The post-war economic boom was effectively destroyed. But people under 40 years of age have no clue how much has changed.
That’s so wholesome that both countries seem to have a general respect and appreciation for one another and their differing cultures.
as an american, its surprising you see us like that, because in america many MANY MANY people (including me) adore japan! ^^
Saving kind of depends on the family honestly, my family grew up not having a lot of money, so we always tried to save. Rich people might spend more, but there's also rich people that like to save as much as possible. So, I would say it depends on the family/habits the parents taught them.
I think we can all learn a thing or two from Japanese culture 😜
Yes, Japanese culture is very deep!
Yes, like keeping our cities and neighborhoods clean. America has a ghetto problem. Because it has a drug problem. Because it has a 3rd-world em-ah-gray-shun PROBLEM. ( Because it has a political CO-RUP-SHUN problem. )
@@TheCyberMantis Immigration has nothing to do with it. American culture here just doesn't care about litter. Almost EVERYONE throws cigarettes out of their car window, garbage workers don't care about what falls out while loading bins, and public garbage bins are always completely stuffed so there's no place to put trash except on the ground.
@@James_Baggott The problem is many layers deep. You can't really blame it on one or two things. It's probably 20 or 30 things. So it's just a compound problem. As far as immigration goes: just take a look at those countries where the immigrants come from. Are they nice and CLEAN? Japan understands this, and they don't want their country ruined. They are a "collective" culture. They care about their heritage, their people, and their homeland. They don't want to wreck their own homeland. Which is smart. The bad side of Japan is: they work themselves to death. They have high standards, but that comes with a price. Pressure, and longer hours at the job. No place on Earth is "paradise". But some places are certainly worse than others.
@ And now they are our closest ally. And they make great products. Now the real enemy is.... greed and corruption. From within.
For personal finance there is offense (income), and defense (good spending/saving habits). In America there's one set of people who work 40 hours a week, but don't have enough offense to really credibly save money. They might live in a household with others to save on rent, live in a city where there are good wages and some real competition for labor, and still struggle to make rent, utilities, groceries, and have enough money to save 10% of their take home pay. This is a huge group, and part of why minimum wage is a hot issue (especially because programs intended to help needy people might really be helping megacorporations pay less wages instead of really improving the available money for people with the least money, so this change might shift the burden on exploitative corporations instead of taxpayers). For another set with more income, there is a weird pressure some people feel to live a certain lifestyle. Like maybe an IT professional with a mid-career job feels they should be able to afford a home, but if you move often (somewhat common in IT depending on specific role) owning a home isn't automatically a good financial move like it was for our parents or maybe their parents (due to transaction costs and how mortgages are "structured"). There are lots of traps and not many people really understand how to make their money go further when they can finally afford to save (like paying insurance 6 months at a time instead of every month). We say "It is expensive to be poor" because these little advantages are out of reach for people with the lowest incomes.
This is what I came here to say. It isn't as simple as "Americans are good at saving" or "Americans are bad at saving." Our national minimum wage is actually fairly similar to Japan's, but the average rent in the United States is 50% higher than in Japan (which isn't cheap). (The percentage difference varies between city center and outside city center.) Broadband internet costs 25% more. The interest rate on a mortgage is 2x that of Japan.
Yes, lots of things like fresh produce are more expensive in Japan, but some of a U.S. citizen's biggest expenses may be bigger. Inflation on consumer prices is 2x that of Japan. The unemployment rate is 84% higher than in Japan.
Last I heard, the United States has more millionaires and billionaires than any other country, and yet studies show that a majority of Americans can't come up with a few hundred dollars in case of an emergency.
From what I'm seeing, truth be told, Japan and the United States both have a lot of issues with high costs of living coupled with incomes that aren't great and a lack of labor protections.
@@SpekkioMofW Yes, the labor unions have lost a lot of power and influence. It is not as advantageous to join them now as it would be to have retired from them 20 years ago. Private sector pensions are being replaced with 401Ks. It isn't getting any easier out there.
Not all Americans live that way. I started with nothing. Study hard, got into state college, got a good job. Made good money, buy real estate. Sell real estate, buy more, sell more, retire at 55 with nice pension. Enjoying my retirement with Money to spare.
It's very cool to hear Japanese like Americans. Many Americans also think Japanese are very cool 😎
We have colorful cakes for special occasions just because they are pretty, bright, special, fun :) For someone's birthday, It's common to have a special cake made for that person in their favorite colors and even with special themes. Example, my sister's birthday is in the fall and I had a sunflower (🌻) cake made for her because those flowers are associated with the fall and are her favorite flowers.
The idea is to make birthday cakes very memorable and fun to make the day special. 😄

Walmart is definitely the ultimate American store but she'd probably be much happier at Target in real life
Yes, Walmart is the place to go. Has everything you could ever want. If not on store, the online store will have.
As an American, I am horrid at saving money. I always envied my Japanese Grandmother for her ability to save money. When she passed we found so much money hidden away. We knew she had some money but had no idea she had had that much.
This is really interesting, because based only on personal experience, I would say that Americans as a group are reasonably terrible at saving money (though some of our jobs make saving for retirement easier). Also, a lot of images that we get of "Japan" are often from what I assume is Tokyo, and it seems like everything is extremely bright and colorful, including food. We basically seem to think Japanese people either live in the future with robot hotels and Hello Kitty everywhere, or, when we see imagery from temples or cultural ceremonies, like the Japanese as a whole, outside of major cities, live like it's the 1700s. It's not a very cohesive image of Japanese life, and is often inspired by anime or outlandish depictions shown in Western media. Love you and your channel!
found you channel completely by chance, and I cannot stop watching. you have the best energy!
the way she channels her intensity is so inspiring！she’s so pretty!
Your t-shirt is so appropriate, because I will most definitely see you later! Love your videos! 🤗
I love you're videos, they make me feel calm when I'm anxious ♡ from 🏴
Thank you! I'm happy these videos can help you! I will make more!!
I am not planing on going to Japan nor ever will (only to visit) but I must admit I came across your channel and it is so positive and gets me in such a good mood I love it! keep it coming and thanks!
That "saving money" skit is great.
First of all, don't eat the blue cupcakes. It makes your poop green. First time it happened to me I almost went to the emergency room because I thought something was seriously wrong with me. Second, I live I western Washington where it rains all the time. We are used to it. If we see someone with an umbrella, we know they are from out of town. Just found your channel a couple if days ago. You are awesome.
The unboxing at the end was so cute!
Thank you! Such a wonderful surprise
I live in the United States.
My teeth are broken and I can't afford to get them fixed. My jaw is crooked and painful and I am miserable. I will die young because my skull is infected. I work before I eat. We are all the same.
Oh I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you can get treatment someday soon!
WOAH!! That sounds very dangerous!
Are you SURE there is no service for pennyless people?
If you really don't know what to do, cheap italians go repair their teeth in Croatia, and the service is good. I guess you could go there. With a super cheap fly is shouldn't cost that much. You'd probably be better going to Mexico or Canada, thou
Note: you're probably going to do the quarantine, if you do travel to Europe
@@VVV.12345 idk if it’s just my area, but in the US flying is extremely expensive. Going out of the country is even more so. Getting a passport alone can cost hundreds of dollars. Plus the flight itself costs hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars. Most people don’t travel, if they do they drive places, like a 10 hour car ride is what my sister does to go to school.
If someone doesn’t have money for medical care they definitely don’t have money for the luxury of flying. There is no dental care in the US it’s all out of pocket. Even with health insurance most people simply do not go to the doctor because they cannot afford it, me included. You go for one small thing and then the bill comes in the mail and you find out you’re charged hundreds of dollars. Living with medical conditions is a huge financial burden
If you can't afford dental or medical work, reach out to a university in your area. Many times you can get work done for free or at a discount. Usually by interns and students supervised by a certified doctor/dentist as part of their training.
@@Jenny-tm3cm What part of the U.S. you live at if I may ask? There are plenty of Americans who travel both domestically and internationally. Unless you are flying First Class you can find very affordable rates to travel. It depends on which airline. Since the output of the vaccine rates are starting to go back up. You can get dental care and health insurance through your employer or government assistance programs. You just go to the dentist that is available under that dental plan. You have colleges that offers students health coverage too. My point is there is healthcare that is available to everyone. Its just a matter of does it offer what you need and is it fully covered. If not, you just find another health plan that is located in your state. Majority of high costs is in hospital stays. Problem in the U.S. right now is the high unemployment and many people are finding it hard to meet their daily needs.
I've just found your channel and I have to say: You're amazing! I love the JoJo references, your positive attitude, great editing and overall really nice content :) Could You maybe make a video about what Japanese people think about Europe and European countries? (and not just the ones everyone keeps talking about, like Germany, Italy, France, but also maybe Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland?)
The silent generation are/were incredibly adept at saving money due to living through the great depression, baby boomers tend to have more lavish lifestyles due to the abundance of wealth during their formational years, generation X seems to be more mixed due to the economic inequality during the eighties, and millennials tend to be a bit more frugal due to the 2008 economic recession happening while many of them were on the cusp of adulthood.
I hope this was somewhat helpful.
After my great grandmother and great aunt passed away, my parents and grandparents had to clean out their house to sell it. They'd lived through the Depression (Greatest Generation, I think?) and were obviously traumatized by it. They washed and stored the styrofoam trays that meat comes on. They stocked up on goods like toilet paper. They didn't trust banks, so a substantial amount of cash was found hidden inside clothing and literally taped to the closet walls.
It depends on the person when it comes to saving. My parents raised me to always have emergency money. So it has turned into a habit were I store away money.
Great content, wonderful sense of humor, likable personality...all 'n all some great CZcams stuff! I originally thought you only did reaction videos because that is what I first saw you in, but you really deliver some awesome vids...keep up the great work!
Thank You for all you have done. This is awesome. Arigato.
Thank you for your kind words
I'm from Croatia. :D DIscovered your channel by accident yesterday, and I can't stop watching. You're so pleasant to listen to, very patient and you explain things so well. You sound like you'd be a great teacher!
Americans being quick to seek counseling/therapy is actually pretty new. There was a lot of stigma about it here until maybe 10 years ago or so.
Also the scene with he dog and the cupcakes really had me crackin' up.
Literally my favorite person (and channel) on youtube.
You’re my new favourite CZcamsr!!
That Arnold clip cracked me up. I needed that. "NOOO....NOOOO.......CHIGAU....GET TO DA CHOPPAH!!"
Traditionally people have used baking soda to help removes stains and whiten their teeth, but now days you can buy the toothpaste with added baking soda.
I wonder if we do that in Japanese toothpaste!
I tried to attach link to a Japanese toothpaste with baking soda, but it keeps being removed, so I am sure you can Google it as easily as I did (Sorry for being unable to attach link). I also remember seeing toothpaste with charcoal added as well to help again with removing stain and whitening teeth.
Our videos showed on my recommended and you gained a new sub!
your smile is so contagious 🥺
Hahaha! A lot of American's are unable to save money because were not educated about finances very well, and we have things like a 2 week hospital stay costing the same amount as a house.
And a lot of americans seem to think we become water proof after we become older?
Oooh I see! Yes, we are taught a lot about saving money! Many Japanese love to save money!
Wow!! So expensive! You can buy house for same cost as staying in hospital??? In Japan, we get healthcare, so all Japanese people go to hospital even when they have a cold!
Yes. A lot of our healthcare isn't covered by insurance. Basic life savi ng things. 1 year of my Mom's Cancer treatment? 7013056.00¥ Injectable insulin for many is still 76703.90¥. My rescue Inhaler? 7560.81¥. And we have insurance. My parents are in Millions of dollars of medical debt, and I barely manage to keep up with my breathing meds. It's nuts.
Thats one reason Im glad Im a veteran. Id be dead if I had to pay for medical stuff.
@@jaredcrabb lol, they lost my husband's medical records from combat, so he refuses to get anymore VA care. I think it's stupid he won't go, but I can't force him, either.
A lot of vets aren't even getting the care they deserve.
This is literally my favourite video! I LOVE your channel!! 😭😭❤️❤️ I had to keep pausing cuz my work was interrupting 😂😂
the editing on this is sooo goood
Did anyone else notice Minato Aqua’s (IQ 3) BGM 😂 3:32-3:57
I knew I recognized it!
@@ProphetOfMrBubz She also used Rushia’s BGM (2:23 am) in another video. I think it was titled something like “thing I still don’t understand about America” or something like that.
We don't carry umbrellas because we usually drive everywhere, and it's only exposed to rain for a short while. If it's a heavy rain, we usually just don't go out if we can avoid it, or use an umbrella
The colored pastries, pretty much only children eat them.
Also, if one has to walk in the rain, they'll probably be soaked anyways because of the rude drivers.
@JustAMotobug i think I'll generalize whoever i want.
@JustAMotobug then speak in hot dog!
Wow, thanks for being so positive.
Aaaand i subscribed. I really like your contents, and you’re english is amazing! It was a good thing to have discovered your channel 😊
First thing I see when I click: *"Why don't Americans save money??"* LMAO I'm already excited now.
Hahah! Thank you!
I can't believe I'm so early, love your vids
Thank you!!
I love the explanation of saving money. Great video.
Love to see we are thought of like this. I love so much we could learn from Japan. I’ve wanted to live there since I was a child
I would always buy the cheap lunch (or skip lunch) and save the money to spend on videogames
Good idea!
THANK YOU!!!
どういたしまして！また見てね！
I love you're editing. Lol Keep up the great work.
Love this channel!
Most people I know are good at saving money because if they have an emergency, medical care is super expensive. I'm awful at saving however. Whenever I have money, it's gone in an instant.
Is that being terrible at saving or being a responsible adult and making sure your rent, bills, and taxes are paid?
@@jaredcrabb both..
I think as far as saving money, it depends on how you are brought up. My family didn't do allowances but if we wanted something we had to do house chores to get money. Then it was up to us to determine if we wanted to spend it on candy or toys or whatever.
This channel is terrific.
Hahaha the terminator edits are hilarious. You always make great content
American here - to me umbrellas are very bulky and usually get in the way. I don't like holding up a line of people who are also in the rain while I collapse my umbrella to go in somewhere. If I know its going to rain I will bring an umbrella, but depending on context I may not use it.
I've never caught a cold from being in the rain :)
I might be just weird but I don’t like using umbrellas, I actually like getting rained on, I’m also a storm chaser though, I love storms. I will actually purposely go outside if it’s raining!!!
You ever look out at the street lamps shining on rain-slicked asphalt and get the same feeling your dog gets when you leave the gate open? Just take off at a sprint, so blissful that you don’t come to your senses until you’re already halfway around the block, soaked as a drowned rat?
I loved the money saving part, that was adorable. The snack shop scenario is how it was when I was a kid going to the corner store after school wondering what to get to eat. You had the .25cent little fruit drinks, gum, and small bag of chips. But then the bigger bags of chips were .50cents, and if you had a dollar you could prioritize what you want more of to work within a dollar budget.
I think I love your videos!
Its funny because I have heard the hydroxyapatite in some Japanese toothpastes makes teeth more healthy (but not whiter). I’ve considered ordering some though its pricey to have shipped. We keep teeth white with a combination of at home whitening kits and paying the dentist for whitening.
I started using Apagard toothpaste from Japan about 3 years ago, and it works better than the high-fluoride prescription toothpaste the dentist prescribed to me. It’s definitely expensive, but it’s still a lot cheaper than dental work.
Another pleasant video by Mrs Eats! I recently subscribed and I love these videos!
Saving: it depends. Some were raised to do so by thier parents and are quite good at it! Sadly, most Americans don't, from my experience. It's very common to have spending problems here!
Welcome!! Thank you Chris!
@@MrsEats you're welcome! Made an edit about savings into my comment now. www
I am learning Japanese and watching Japanese youtubers really helps keep me motivated! :)
Mrs Eats I love your videos you’re very funny! I love your editing that cupcake part was hilarious 😂
I live in the Pacific Northwest of America and it rains quite a bit, but here having an umbrella is still not common because we tend to just wear a rain jacket or a hat.
There’s still some umbrellas, but few and far between. I have one for when I take my dog out to go to the bathroom, but that’s because it’s just in the front yard.
another super hilarious video!
Thank you! Arrivederci!
The way he said “nO nO chigaw :(“
The umbrella advice is such a pro tip
Arrivederci! Nice touch!
having watch several videos of this nature, it seems more like most Japanese people don't know shit about America. but i think a big part of that is that America is sooo much bigger than Japan and has many different cultures and customs within America depending on where you live. so there really isn't a "one answer fits all" for most questions
I'm honestly surprised that anyone wants to know about us at all. I think we rather dull in comparison to other countries when it comes to culture.
Japanese think America is so cool! You are wild country with many cool movies and big land!
It's pretty easy to think that about your own country that way when it's what you've known your whole life. When a culture is so drastically different from your own (like how Japanese view America, and vice versa), it'll make you interested in it more.
Oh dear lord. No offense but that's because mainstream media and public fool system education have taught us to hate ourselves and that we're bad people.
Let’s also not forget that our country is so YOUNG, too compared to many countries throughout the world(The U.S. will be 250 years old in 2026 meanwhile China, France, Japan, Korea, India, and Greece for ex. are hundreds if not thousands of years older). We haven’t built up long rich histories of many traditions and cultural standards(but we’ve definitely made some waves and some noise). Sure we have our holidays and food-eating habits but...well you get the idea, lol
@@MrsEats we also think Japan is cool. 😎
That book cover lol That is the type of book cover I have if I wrote a book. Some guy on the toilet lol
the math lesson about what to spend and what not to spend money on is hilarious. The music the adult head superimposed on the child is comedy gold. It’s perfect it has everything
You are too correct about most of your comments and too lovely to respond.

For the saving question, I think there's a whole bunch of different factors at play. Some of it is generational and different socioeconomic matters. But for the most recent generations, I'd say saving is hard because many common necessities are very expensive and it's not uncommon for average person to be under a lot of debt. College, houses, healthcare, costs of raising a family, etc. all can be costly (especially healthcare. Insurance alone is expensive, and even if you have it, costs of doctor visits can run a bill and if you have a single emergency visit it can easily bankrupt a person/family even with insurance). Unless you start off already well established, it feels like you're always behind and to get much of anything you have to take on a lot of debt with loans and credit cards...and once you get into that pit/hole/trap cycle, it's hard to get out and usually end up just constantly digging downwards trying to get yourself out.
Ohhh i simply love this girl and her videos !!! She is so funny
