It is to easily understand what is needed without elaborating one by one.

    I practice this technique for little bit over a year. My debt is gone , saving account grow so much I need to transfer to a money market account to get more interests. I add 12% to my retirement fund. I manage not to spend very little amount of money at the mall and save it toward a trip to Japan. Beside , oversea shopping is much fun. You get to buy unique pieces of clothing that no one has. I am so adopted to this system now. Writing your budget is not a burden thing at all. It is a burden thing only when you spend like no tomorrow and you don't want to face the reality of overspend.

    From Canada. Our household does something similar and has done so for years. I've never had a high paying job, and we have always lived within our means. Our home is fully paid for and we currently have a $500 surplus in our clothing budget, a growing savings and a largish travel account. You have to be disciplined. We are recently retired and live well, eat well, and are debt free.I personally don't understand financial incontinence.

      Did you do this before you married your spouse? Did your spouse do this before they married you? (Being financially responsible). Did you talk finances or know each other’s, “true spending habits and philosophies”?
      If you met eye to eye on finances BEFORE you were married, you two are great. MANY people find out AFTER they are married what a spendthrift their partner actually is. MANY marriages break up over finances - maybe even more than infidelity. And divorces kills people financially. Kudos to you both for having the same financial philosophies.

    Japanese way to save money
    1.Write down all your income and expense in a book
    2.Make a Income chart in which your write down all your incomes that day itself
    3.Make a expense chart in which you write down all your expenses based on your preference so you don't need buy least preferred item
    4.when someone returns your debt you must not spend that instead put that into piggy
    5.Leftover money in pockets will be put into piggy
    6.Penalties for your indiscipline eg: missing gym
    7.Making a product list before you enter mall
    8.If you wanna buy expensive items delay the purchase for 1month if you are still interested in buying that then purchase otherwise save that.
    9.While buying expensive products add some extra amount as expense and put that extra money in piggy.
    10.All coins into piggy
    11.Divide your income to 4 parts leftover money in each part will be added to your piggy

    My father had always been ruthless about teaching us to save money, and his lessons never rang any true since I got a job. But experiencing the pandemic in 2020 never made me realize how much I actually spend for entertainment and books I know I'll never really get the chance to read. Recently, I ONLY deduct the fixed amount we spend on household and bills on a regular basis, and I actually save more than half of my salary! I'm sure this is still bound to change again when the pandemic is over, but boy! What a revelation!

    It also helps that salaries in Japan are paid monthly (instead of weekly or twice monthly like in most other countries): you're really forced to plan and spend carefully to make your salary last till the following month😝

    A great video. I currently save approximately 45% of my monthly income, maybe less in the winter with heating my place. I live alone currently. Its easier to save when you have more assets than liabilities.
    Assets are things passively putting money in your pocket.
    Liabilities are things passively taking money from your pocket.
    Live close enough to your source of income and groceries etc so that you don't need a vehicle. Maybe public transportation is ok. Owning a vehicle takes money from your pocket.
    Once your able to save 10-20Gs, put it down on a house. A very small house. Your mortgage likely will be the same or less than renting. When its paid off, take another 10 Gs and buy another tiny cottage/house. Rent out the first one. The first one becomes an asset. Money in your pocket. Keep doing this. In a decade or 2 you won't necessarily need to work a 9-5 anymore. (Though I would). There are multi unit houses. Live in one while you rent out the others.
    Now, what I say next may offend some. That's not my intention. But it needs to be said. Its directed mostly at men, though it can apply to some women also.
    Stay single. As long as possible. In the current social climate, having a G/F or being in a marriage contract can potentially be a financially hazardous liability. The statistics speak for themselves. The laws are balanced heavily in a womans favor these days in divorse court. Even in common law cohabitation. Talk about liability. I'm not saying don't get married. I'm saying for the love of God think twice. Use the correct head guys. Things get even more expensive with the potential of children, also a liability. I know I was one to my parents. Even your dear old parents will be a liability one day most likely for most of us. Just plan ahead. Many do not. Consider MGTOW. I hope this helps somebody out there.

    Your video is very inspiring.... Let me add by saying that the best you can do to avoid squandering your salary is to invest 50% immediately you receive it but in order for you to achieve a %50% investment off your monthly income you need to cut down your monthly expenses to 30% allowing you to save the remain 20% in a savings account in case of any emergency....

    I know digital is more convenient but I think manually entering the data in a book although "old School" might work better for me. I will try and see. I did use an app once and it just didn't do everything I needed it to do. This reminds me of old checking account books where you wrote down what every check was for. And that made me see how much I was spending better than digital. Using cash instead of a card also makes you more accountable,\
