Some ingenious savers have become minor stars, too.In recent months, blogger and life-hacker Miwa Komatsu has been making the rounds of Japan's TV talk show circuit,explaining how she managed to sock away $100,000 over 10 years, despite making only $1,300 a month as an office worker and raising four kids on her own.

一些聪明的储蓄者也变成了小明星。最近几个月，49岁的博主和生活骇客Miwa Komatsu一直在日本的电视脱口秀节目中频繁出境，解释她如何在10年间成功存下10万美元，尽管她做公司职员每月只赚1300美元，还要独自抚养四个孩子。

牛津大学的经济学家安德鲁·费雷罗是最早提出日本人的不安与某种比心态更加无法改变的东西有关的人，这就是人口统计学特征。在2014年一篇名为《是什么解释了日本持续的通货紧缩？》的论文中，他和合著者卡洛斯·卡瓦略指出，人口老龄化阻碍利率变动，

and, by extension, growth—which is partly why Japan was slow to recover after real estate and stock market bubbles burst in the early 1990s.Five years on, there's a gathering consensus that this should be a warning for other advanced economies, which are also aging fast and struggling with less-than-stellar growth following the 2008 global financial meltdown.

"For countries coming out of the crisis," Ferrero says, "this may be the moment when pressures stemming from demographics are more likely to emerge."

“对于走出危机的国家来说，”费列罗说，“这可能是由于人口统计学特征而产生的压力，更有可能出现的时刻。”
