Kakebo - The Japanese Art of Saving Money (Short Books): Discover the path to balance and calm

Product Information

This kakebo version is designed so that it will last one whole year , regardless of when you start your journal. Firstly you take a quick look at the year as a whole and see if there are any expenses you can try and predict. But Chase lets you open multiple accounts for free so you can create different accounts for all the different things you spend money on – while also earning cashback. In general if you are looking for a nicer way to track and save your money that doesn’t feel like your berating yourself all of the time, Kakebo is a solid start. At a time when women depended on the money given to them by their husbands, Motoko wanted to provide Japanese women “with a tool that would allow them to manage their household finances efficiently”, says Càrol Rafales.

The Japanese believe that tidiness in one’s finances is as important as tidiness in one’s house – indeed for them, the act of thinking mindfully about where one’s money goes is in itself a recipe for calm and wellbeing. But there is a solution: Kakebo , a practical, proven method that helps you keep track of every penny, manage spending, and save up to thirty percent more! Well similar to Kon Mari it’s not an actual thing, it’s a sort of philosophy of managing your money. So when you fill out your weekly amounts you can quickly see how much went on your ‘living expenses’, how much was invested in yourself, and how much was on ‘fun’.However, I am obsessed with Bullet Journaling and planners and I wanted something that can blend in with my own Planning Folder so I designed my own. At the beginning of each month, you set out a budget that documents your projected income and fixed spending. But you may not have heard of the Japanese system for managing your money in a similar way, its known as Kakebo.

My daughter was pleased to receive these books as they were very informative regarding her now gluten/ dairy free way of life.

The next wellbeing buzzword making waves, however, is anything but faddy or flash in the pan as far as ‘in things’ go- it was spearheaded in 1904 for starters. As per Japanese people’s beliefs, tidiness in one’s finances is as important as tidiness in one’s house.Designed like a diary, it allows you to record all your daily expenses week by week so you can see exactly where your money goes.
