Cost Performance (Cospa) — Value-Driven Consumption
February 15, 2020•Updated Feb 17, 2026
Cost Performance (Cospa): A Japanese term meaning value for the price you pay. It might sound like it refers to spa hotels, but it actually means getting good value for your money.
It is the opposite of the YOLO mindset.
This is a common trait among Millennial and Gen Z consumers who prioritize efficiency and quality.
