THE simple, foolproof way to save yourself money one day at a time. People in Japan are masters of minimal living, able to make do with less in all aspects of life, whether it`s de-cluttering personal belongings or savvy seasonal cooking. But at the heart of all this is the kakeibo: the budgeting journal used to set saving goals & spend wisely. The premise is simple: at the beginning of each month you sit down with your kakeibo & think mindfully about how much you would like to save & what you will need to do in order to reach your goal. The kakeibo then gives you space to jot down your weekly spending & reflecting on the month just gone. The simple act of completing your kakeibo ensures that saving is a part of your everyday life, while also giving you the opportunity to reflect & improve every month. By using this kakeibo, you can get a grip on your spending & start to achieve your goals, by finding ways to save for the things that really matter in your life. Don`t give up what you want most for what you want now... This is the Japanese Journal that puts more money in YOUR pocket every month.
