In a word, no.  My last computer cost me Y2,000, which is in a whole 
different league than Y60,000.  I'm making less money now than I am 
spending for rent and food (it was an extravagance for me to have two 
beers at the bonen-kai).  In this case, Y60,000 is a lot of money!  I 
will either start making more money or I will perish, but spending less 
at least prolongs rapidly dwindling recourses.
