Nonono.. that's a 'smart investment'.
It has to do with economics? I have to imagine there are poor Japanese, especially among the hardest hit areas. Perhaps their culture is so vastly different than the materialistic American, that their view of poor and rich has not been corrupted. Perhaps the Japanese poor consider themselves 'rich' and whole - without the need to dishonor themselves for material gain.
Exceptions, of course, but this could both be economical and cultural where the culture has a vastly different view of economics and material possession.
