Monesophy
Buying Into a New Future
What do you think about when you spend money?
When you buy bread in front of you, you think, "That looks delicious." When watching a movie, you think, "That seems interesting." When making a donation, you think, "I did something good." Yes, we thought so too.
But we wondered. For example, buying bread at this bakery might be the trigger that affects the future of the bakery, this area, and our future. Because it helps the wheat farmers needed to make the bread, or it enriches the people who do the transportation and processing, or it might even help stop environmental destruction, though we don't think that far. There's no end once you start thinking about it.
What it's like after you spend money, how you and those around you change. If you could imagine the story of the future, even a little more than now. How do you think your life would change?

What is Monesophy?
At FUTURE LIFE FACTORY, we have defined the personal philosophies that guide our actions when earning and spending money as “Monesophy” (= the axis of thinking when spending money).
Monesophy varies from person to person, but in this project, we classified them into nine types and imagined what kind of future each type would create.
9 Types of Monesophy
Clicking on each type allows you to see the details of the Monesophy type.
