TIMESTAMPS: Why listen to the Japanese? 0:29 What is Kakeibo? 1:05 Questions Kakeibo is based on 2:28 How to draw up a Kakeibo style budget 2:42 How can you spend less? 5:05 How to save even more 5:49 ❗️ Why it's important to write by hand 7:44 ❗️
i believe spending to much money is based on your daily emotional and social influences. instead of thinking how to spend, think about how you feel and why you feel the need to spend. it helped me a lot.
Don't let emotion interfere. Last time when i let my emotion interfere, i spend all the money without my consciousness. Haha. Don't trust your emotions in this matter.
@@suriyaprakash8663 sure everyone knows it's logical but not everyone applies the logic into practice. that is why Japanese are famous on making names on every method which obviously has checklists. It is to easily understand what is needed without elaborating one by one. For sure macine shop in India knows 5S but you can't compare Indian machines shop to the cleanliness and orderliness of a Japanese machine shop. You know why? start making a checklist so you can see what's lacking, by then it'll become your habit
You are so right.I am from Nepal and have learned finacial budgeting from an indian housewife youtuber which is the most important life lesson that I have learned and now I know that it also has a name.
As a Myanmar i think it a scam i recommend not believing your own people because in Myanmar people scam too I am not rude but you can't turst anyone even your own people
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.
I saved quite a bit of money from stop wearing makeup. I hope this helps even one person! I have learned to accept myself as I am and not worry about what others think. Thanks for the video, as always, Brighside!
Makeup can harm our skin. Iam guilty from spending too much money on cosmetics those amount of money i spent can buy skin care or maybe i can save 20% of that.
Well i use more skin care products so I don’t need too much makeup HOWEVER i love makeup and love wearing it, unfortunately it’s expensive so makeup now its a like a hobby for “privileged” people Lol
@@lalahana111 Honey if u stop refined sugar you’ll save money on both skincare and makeup. Your skin is the outside reflection health of your body from the inside❤️
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.
Damremont18 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.
Discipline is the key to everything . I do the money jar . Everytime I pay for groceries I place all the coins in their jars and buy only what I really need and on sale . I see so many people drive the latest cars wearing high fashion yet they NEVER invite me out for even a Timbits at Tim Hortons .because they're a paycheck from being BROKE .
Well I use few quotes by warren buffet and set it as my wallpaper On spending “if you buy things you don’t need . Soon you will have to sell thing you need” On saving “ do not save what is left after spending , but spend what is left after saving “
Financial planning and budgeting is 80% behaviour and 20% knowledge, it all depends on our attitude toward money. Like the video say it's important we have a budgeting plan or pattern, I have been using 50/30/20 for a few years now and it's helped me save a lot.
@@kimwucheng6587 you have certainly done well for yourself, if I may ask what are you invested in. I manage to save just 10% monthly due to my families expenses.
2 key takeaways: 1) develop a high-income skill and keep providing service or create products 2) live below your means so you have savings to invest. Hope anyone reading this achieves financial freedom! 🎉
In theory : "Save more money by being single." In reality : You are lonely and spending money freely with no wife to manage your spending, and end up less saving
No problem this is Right time for you to make good money in future, think and learn to make money spent you time on researching on this, idea is money not the hard work are Passion
Change your mindset first. Be grateful for everything you've got, that's the first thing. Then visualize abundance in your life now. Difficult but it's all in the mind.
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
Thank you for the tips. Remember this: money seating in your account is for the bank to use! Do not live to save rather save with the intention to invest. Make money work for you not the other way around. No one has ever become wealthy by saving their entire life. Be an elite and build for generations.
I used to save money almost exactly like that. But then as I grew up I stopped the writing down part and after watching this I might start writing it down again. 👍👏🙂
Theres apps tho from financial apps to journal apps its much more efficient cause i have my phone with me most ogmf the time. If you wanna list it down journal style thetes tons of apps for that
They forget the fact that if you write it on a paper and do the 'old-school' way of recording, when the internet is down or you have a power outage or any other thing happens that keeps your technology from working, you have a hard copy in writing so you don't lose it and can access it any time. That's why I still keep a lot of things written down and keep a notebook at my computer.
Every bit of this "Japanese" stuff are things my Grandma taught me. We're from Alabama. The old timers took all this for granted. I nearly face-palm hearing this "exotic" info.
The key to success is actually focusing on what you are doing instead of just drifting through life. Everything you do leaves your memory pretty quickly if you don't focus on it. Facing towards your goals and taking steps will almost always get you what you want.
This is the best video I have come across. It's better to focus on our needs instead of focusing on wants as wants are endless and thinking about the planet we should stop wasting our resources.
I used to rewrite my notes down AFTER class, in my own way. It also helped me remember what was taught in class, what I need to go over again and I rewrote them in pen with additional notes on the side for reference...
I've already been using a similar method to budget my money. All you have to do find ways to spend as little money as possible, yet still live comfortably. Then, you leave the rest of your money in your bank account.
Great video! I do what Lynn Richardson said to do. I just spend only on food that I really need, and my two bills that I pay for and car gas every month and put all my left over change and dollars in a change purse like my mom did and then use that instead for gas for the next month when shopping. I have saved at least $5 000 in just a few months. 🤣 I allow myself to only spend like $20 a month on something I like if I feel like it.
I do it since jhs, i separated my monthly budget into weekly budget. Which make it easier to track how much i speed in a week. I also have 'NO SPEND DAY' one in a week, it effectively save mu daily budget, put it directly to the saving box 🤗😀. Very useful video tho 👍👍⭐
Have any investments yet? If you are not needing money try having one that will teach you or get you closer to something youd like to know, do, have, etc.
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😝
I was thinking that this is something new but dear I'm already have maintained an account book at home & I note down everything. Even when my bank charge me something, when I buy food, traveling exp, pharmacy, doctor, etc. My name is Pratik wankhede & I'm from India my age is 19. I've so big goals in my life.
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.
Stable Stoic thats wt asian have been doin, keep buying house but now house or flat is getting so expensive its so hard to save up for the initial downpayment like 40% of the house price...
I have practised this before showing this video and I didn't know that the name was kaikaibo :) Thank you as always you guys do a great content and enjoying your information and knowledge sharing!
I just keep it simple and have 2 bank accounts. Account 1 with my minimum amount where all the money goes in and out daily and account 2 is where I put in money that goes above my minimum amount thats on my 1st account. Simples.......by the way I kind of just started that simple system of mine and it seems to be going well..... Just hoping it stays like that.
One of the reasons is they have a higher IQ and isn't fooled and tricked into being over consumers...making their own iPhone for 5 bucks while you bought yours for 900.00 🤷🏽♀️
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....
*Alice* a good investment is one that gives you the highest possible return. Whether it's real estate, stocks, bonds or mutual funds, with some research and due diligence, you'll be able to find good investments in any asset class .
Defining your risk tolerance and investment objective are two good ways to help decide what’s a good investment. For example, if you’re a high-risk investor you might be able to tolerate a variety of good investments, which might earn higher yields
I created an excel format more similar to kakeibo. As I'm pretty much comfortable using Excel, I prefer digital data record than conventional one. But the saving tips like penalising seems reasonable for me.
@@angelicaxavier5053 I can tell the percentages 1. Expenses - 50% (Loans + monthly & annual bills) 2. Financial protection- 5% insurance 3. Investments- 20% (Long, mid & debt funds) 4. Savings - 15% 5. Entertainment - 10% Life is short. I don't want to be rich but wanted to secure my future.

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,\
its always necessary to save for lnterest but not advisable to put in a total 100 percent, most especially the low income persons. get an lnvestment that can multiply your lncome so as to avoid being totally broke

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.
Stable Stoic thats wt asian have been doin, keep buying house but now house or flat is getting so expensive its so hard to save up for the initial downpayment like 40% of the house price...

I think I can be a millionaire by making and selling kakeibo journals in my country.... 🙈 Thanks for the business idea... I promise to save up

Japan a country like no other 🇯🇵🙌🏻
Superb Kudos to u all
I have practised this before showing this video and I didn't know that the name was kaikaibo :) Thank you as always you guys do a great content and enjoying your information and knowledge sharing!
This is probably the best video I've watched on this. I keep coming back to this one video. Thank you
I just keep it simple and have 2 bank accounts. Account 1 with my minimum amount where all the money goes in and out daily and account 2 is where I put in money that goes above my minimum amount thats on my 1st account. Simples.......by the way I kind of just started that simple system of mine and it seems to be going well..... Just hoping it stays like that.
Kay Ali think you mean maximum
The best way to save money is: you don't have to spend too much especially on unimportant things.
One of the reasons is they have a higher IQ and isn't fooled and tricked into being over consumers...making their own iPhone for 5 bucks while you bought yours for 900.00 🤷🏽♀️
More like most of them play video games all day
Thank you for this video. Also the comments and tips have really been insightful. I will begin on a new financial journey now.
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....
Building a portfolio of quality investments is one way to help you get ahead financially and achieve your long term goals.
what can you consider as a good investment?
*Alice* a good investment is one that gives you the highest possible return. Whether it's real estate, stocks, bonds or mutual funds, with some research and due diligence, you'll be able to find good investments in any asset class
.
Defining your risk tolerance and investment objective are two good ways to help decide what’s a good investment. For example, if you’re a high-risk investor you might be able to tolerate a variety of good investments, which might earn higher yields
do you stock trade simon
Finally!! A super great video from this channel again. I have been watching for ever.. now it is here.. good work thank you😊
I created an excel format more similar to kakeibo. As I'm pretty much comfortable using Excel, I prefer digital data record than conventional one. But the saving tips like penalising seems reasonable for me.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Been in Japan for 2 years but I never would have known this without this vid. Thanks Bright Side!
Thankyou for this. We all know these basics but do not implement them in our lives. From now on I will.
Mine is simple
1. Expenses
2. Financial protection- insurance
3. Investments- mutual funds
4. Savings
5. Entertainment
Peace ✌️
That's awesome! How much is your budget for entertainment, if I may ask? Cause I always feel some sort of guilt if I spend in entertainment.
Angelica Xavier then don’t entertain lol, if u do that u will realise how much u can save?
@@angelicaxavier5053 I can tell the percentages
1. Expenses - 50% (Loans + monthly & annual bills)
2. Financial protection- 5% insurance
3. Investments- 20% (Long, mid & debt funds)
4. Savings - 15%
5. Entertainment - 10%
Life is short. I don't want to be rich but wanted to secure my future.

thnks for sharing information....
Writing things do make me remember things better. I think I will implement some of these tools
Todne Woods when are you gonna start?
Excellent..👌thanks
I start doing this without knowing it was a concept half year before and managed to get rid of my debt. Now I want to have savings :)
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,\
I've been doing this for years. It's just common sense
But if we are taught way eatlier it will be better
common sense isn't that common these days
Very thoughtful message.. thanks for sharing
This has been practiced in India since ages. Good practice.
How did you end up in Japan?
Cool vid
Well said! :)
Thank you Bright Side for this useful information. I now have a kakeibo journal!
Super technice 👍👍
So where can I BUY these Kakeibo money saving journals lol
online, i have one. just google kakebo or kakeibo.
Great Ideas 💡💡💡
*Don't spend money on buying things - spend money buying time*
Time is but an illusion
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me sounds like a great motto!
Time is money
Nice video
Apparently Prime Minister of Japan Abe, is not practicing this at all.
How come they have been the world biggest creditor for 28 years then?
I will do Kakeibo, in notebook. Many thanks.
its always necessary to save for lnterest but not advisable to put in a total 100 percent, most especially the low income persons. get an lnvestment that can multiply your lncome so as to avoid being totally broke
i totally agree with you, by investing you will Be a step ahead of everyone else, Your spending habits will improve and Your quality of life will improve.
Interesting... but what exactly can i invest in that will yield me good profits. Perhaps 25% Biweekly
@@alanbalinski5655 Stocks, Mutual funds, Options. and the Forex market. Forex can be a very good lnvestment compared to stocks. The benefit of a forex lnvestment is that the trader is using leverage. to potentiaI lnvestors Forex is a good way to make a great ROI most specially with the help of a professionaI portfoIio manager
l'm a profitabIe Forex trade'r. I'm not a biIIionaire but I'm maklng stabIe proflt every month. l started to Iearn Forex when I was 19 years old. And practice a lot opening BUY SELL orders on demo accounts
Is this forex trading really a good business

I've been doing several things similar, I didn't know being organized was a thing...
as a computer tech i thought the tech solution would fit me, but the old pen and paper journal works the best for me
