Get Started on the Path to Financial Freedom with Kakeibo

Join our course to learn how to take charge of your finances using the Kakeibo method. By understanding and implementing this Japanese budgeting technique, you can develop mindful spending habits, achieve your saving goals, and build a solid foundation for your financial future.

What is Kakeibo for Managing Household Budgets?

Kakeibo involves recording all your income and expenses in a dedicated journal. Each month, you categorize your spending into essential and non-essential expenses and reflect on four key questions:

  • How much money do you have?

  • How much would you like to save?

  • How much are you spending?

  • How can you improve?

Example: Let's say you earn 300,000 yen a month. Using Kakeibo, you set a saving goal of 50,000 yen. You track your expenses and categorize them. At the end of the month, you review your spending and reflect on how you can adjust to save more. This process helps you identify unnecessary expenses and make more mindful financial decisions.
