Great video! You did an amazing job breaking down the cost of living in Japan. It's really helpful to see how much you earn, spend, and save in different categories like rent, food, and entertainment. I'm planning to go to Japan soon, and this gave me a much clearer picture of what to expect. Super insightful and well explained, thanks for sharing!

This was very interesting to watch to compare to US salaries. I am wondering if you have any costs related to transportation or health care needs. Also, do you have any student loans that you are paying for or charitable donations? Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad to hear that. Currently to and from work, my company covers the travel costs. So my travel costs will only be on weekends if i go out. I currently just have products i get from the dermatologist, so with my health insurance i just pay 2000¥ at most. I am not current paying in student loans. However every once in a while i do charitable donations! 🤍 i hope this answered your question. please let me know if u have more!
very nice video, insigthful and nicely edited, maybe instead of amounts could use percentages to keep privacy about your income, what is your opinion about gender pay difference in Japan and does it impact you, as a foreigner, a lot or not, keep up the good work. Greetings from Mexico!
thank you so much for your support and advice! 🥺🤍 As a foreigner it does not directly impact me, however I do believe that in a company it’s much harder to get a promotion regardless of gender.
What area are you living in? Because central Tokyo vs Chiba vs Kanagawa vs Osaka could be very different right? In particular, regarding rent. Maybe include at least the prefecture next time. (:
that is very true. My company does pay part of my rent so I’ll only pay what is stated in the video. I live in Chiba now but it’s more towards tokyo area. I’m moving more central Tokyo next March! Thank you for your comment and advice! it is a good point!
That's good to know! As I'm living in Japan now but could my keep my remote job in Germany, I don't know what to expect here if I should ever change my job. Thanks for the info!
She did not include the residence tax of 11,983 yen ($76 USD) per month for someone with gross monthly pay of 285,000 yen. However, residence tax only starts from June of the 2nd year you are working in Japan. (Because they calculate the taxed income for year 1, and make you pay it from June of year 2, year 2 tax is paid from June year 3 etc etc)

The cost of living seems to be increasing every year, making it harder to keep up.
Indeed , it's becoming quite challenging to manage expenses.
Global issue really
I've actually managed to stay ahead of the curve. I'm even contemplating early retirement.
@@AshleyKeith-vw7ws Impressive! How did you achieve that?
