I Saved Enough Money to QUIT 9-5 at 28💸Not Miserable, Small & Easy Saving Tips✨

[@cherie4665]

Hi Mako-san, I came here from your "quit my job" video. You're so pretty and cheerful btw! Thank you for sharing your very realistic thoughts and tips. I absolutely agree with living a frugal life despite salary increases. That was how I managed to have decent savings before I quit my job last year (when I was 28). I was so thankful to my past self for saving aggressively. I like how calming your videos are. I'll go check out your other videos now :)

I did exactly the same things, quit my job, simplifies my life, moved to a bigger apartment outside of Tokyo (but cheaper) and now I feel happier and more lively than before In stead of spending 4000 yen a day for food and coffee like I did when I work at the office from morning to night I now cook myself healthy and nutritious food which is much much cheaper I know that as you said, being stressful is expensive

[@mylifeasmako]

exactly! I absolutely don't miss blowing my money just to distract myself from the stress...

Mayo, just started watching your vlogs today. It seems you've made the right choice leaving your job last year, you've gained so much freedom in your personal life. Thanks for sharing your life and all the tips you've picked up - my wife and I will move to a smaller city soon and I'm looking forward to experiencing what you've said!

[@mylifeasmako]

thank you so much and congratulations on the new chapter in your life :) it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and I hope it will be the same for you and your family!

As a 70-yer-old retiree, living solely on Social Security, I had already arrived at all of what you listed. It was a necessity but I also knew, before I retired, that life was going to get much simpler and leaner. (I could have worked longer- my boss didn't want me to leave- but I chose "time" over "money"). Life is actually fuller for me now, despite having to make drastic cutbacks to my expenditures (or maybe because of that!). Although you and I are of different generations, I find your videos inspiring and there is something to learn in each one of them as well. Having a "rich inner life" gives ones existence joy and color.

thank you, I'm glad to hear that :)

My plan is to quit my job in 3 - 6 years when I have enough money invested to be able to live on the divident. I am considering quitting earlier and taking a lower paying work that won't stress me as my work now is doing. I hope everything works out well for you.

[@mylifeasmako]

Thank you! :)

Hello, Mako ❤️ can you please show in more detail how you make coffee at home and what equipment you use?

[@mylifeasmako]

I grind my beans and then just make a drip coffee :) I use milk frother if I wanna make a latte ☕️

[@марияпучкова-ю7г]

@@mylifeasmako sounds easy ☺️ But when it comes to making coffee at home I fail. It doesn’t taste good 😭

[@MJinthepark]

I learned a lots that I literally need from this video !!! Simultaneously, I am wondering how you obtained the jaw-dropping beautiful English accent! Actually I have been an English learner for decades, but still my Japanese accent has stuck with me persistently,even after I took a phonics course. *sob*. That’s why I request you introduce us how to be a native speaker like you on your channel;) 動画の内容に影響をいただきつつ、英語の発音の美しさに惚れてサブスクライブさせていただきました。私もpodcastを英語で始めたいと思いつつ、まだまだ勇気と自信が持てずにいるので、素敵だなと思いFollowさせていただきます。

[@mylifeasmako]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥺💗 you just made my day! I went to University in the U.S. so obviously that's an advantage for me but I still do have accents! remember, accent is your personality represents who you are :) You should definitely start a podcast! The biggest challenge is to start, but it will get easier and easier as you get used to it! 素敵なお言葉本当にありがとうございます。とても嬉しいです✨

Great video! What phone plan did you switch to in Japan to save money on data?

[@mylifeasmako]

thank you! I actually don't have any monthly plan right now, I just add data on my e-sim when I need it, around $10 every 2 months. I recommend rakuten mobile if you are looking for an affordable option!

[@mundayne811]

i agree, one time in my life i lived of 10 000€ for a whole year without work, it was amazing...

Why do you use such a heavy filter? 😅

[@mylifeasmako]

When I filmed this video, the lighting was bad and it looks like I have a heavy filter... 😅 I haven't changed the stetting on my camera but I learned to work better with lighting and my recent videos should look better...? let me know if they still look like I have a filter!
