Yay! It’s my favorite season. I’m kidding, of course. I just finished my Japanese taxes and I have to admit that it was so easy. For now. Right now, I have one income source and my company and my town have been good in providing the documents that I needed. This year was the second time I did my taxes online through the Japanese e-tax … Continue reading Paying My Taxes in Japan
The ability to pick yourself up after a set back is a good skill to have. Not just in your career, but also your life. It shows resiliency. I’ve been thinking about this recently because people around me seem to be going through really tough times. They come to me for advice and all I can do is give them advice. I’m of the philosophy … Continue reading Resiliency
Last year, in 2018, I read 50 books–mostly business, neuroscience, and self-help books. And that’s just nonfiction; I also read a few fiction books here and there, but I didn’t count them in the total. Why 50 books? I’m not sure why I settled on 50 as the number that I wanted to reach. It just seemed like a nice, round number. It also seemed … Continue reading Information Consumerism
When you leave your comfort zone, you take a risk. This is how you grow. Unfortunately, many people, myself included, know how hard it is to go beyond patterns of safety and familiarity. There is a lot of pain and fear involved when you leave the sanctuary of ease. With the familiar, you know exactly what to expect and what to do. When you’re placed … Continue reading Comfort Zones
Like most workers here in Japan, the end of the year is one of the busiest time of the year for me. There are just so many things to get done before December 31st. Since I was so overwhelmed, I requested a deadline extension on one of my projects. Unfortunately, because everyone had so many things to do, there just wasn’t time to be cut anywhere. … Continue reading Time and Money
It is November, and in the US, this is the month when we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. Since I live in Japan, it’s easy for me to forget about this holiday because nobody has heard of it. Usually, after Halloween, it is straight to Christmas decorations. It makes me sad nobody knows about Thanksgiving or even mentions it. This is actually my favorite holiday. When I … Continue reading Gratitude
In the previous post, I talked about taking a big step toward financial independence by buying property. It took me years to actually build up the courage to jump on this idea. I have the capital already, it took me a while to become comfortable with spending all my hard-earned savings in one big move. Today, I took the first step by signing a contract … Continue reading Moving the Needle
I’ve been a big fan of Paula Pant for a long time. I love her personality when I hear her on her podcast. Her approach to money resonates with me. As a woman and an immigrant, I feel like I have a connection with her. I’m glad that she’s a very strong representative of a financially successful immigrant woman of color. Her path to financial … Continue reading Rental Properties
I am at a crossroads. I’ve been working for my school for almost ten years now. I started teaching English to these kids in 2009 and working for this company is still going well. I love teaching. Watching my students grow up is the best part of this job. I’ve had some of my students since they were babies. Now they are spunky little pre-teens. … Continue reading Part-time or Full-time?
The school year has started, which means that I’m working more consistently again. I am back to getting up early to get ready for work. I am taking the train into the city and thinking about my students and the million things that needs to get done to get my kids speaking English. Even with work, I am still working on my unpaid passion projects, … Continue reading The Power of Schedules
