This phenomenon displayed in a new Korean slang 시발비용(fuckit-expense) is real. Econ problems are not making millennials more frugal; rather, they’re making them give up on long-term goals like housings & spend away salaries on small stuffs that make daily life slightly happier
My “fuckit-expenses (시발비용)” list: 1) sushi delivery after surviving on bananas the whole day, 2) spending a whole week-worth of salary on a cute humidifier on my desk, 3) getting a MacBook Pro for reading and then surviving on bananas again (and then back to 1).
This sense of long-term despair leading to a pursuit of small short-term happiness (소확행) is also displayed in the recent Korean best-seller, 죽고싶지만 떡볶이는 먹고싶어 (I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki)
