I just found your YouTube. You are brave & such an inspiring story! I’m 55 living US 39 years & I decided to move back to Japan this fall because of my divorce after 29 years of marriage & now my son is in college. Your video gave me encouragement & not too late to start my second life in Japan. I don’t understand who send you bad comments & judge you. They have nothing to do or unhappy people. Most of people are good people so just keep going & enjoy life in Japan!! I am joining there soon. Japan is great country.

As a 42year old who is studying Japanese and would love to live there rather than just visiting twice a year, this is great content ❤️

Well done on the coffee table. Your frugality has turned your dream into reality. You are an inspiration.

It’s so helpful to see someone‘s actual income and expenses, not just averages. Thank you for sharing! And I really like your coffee table!

Most people don't know the difference between cheap & frugal - Cheap means you will avoid spending money at all costs even to your own detriment, frugal means you are happy to spend but want to get the most from your money. I would say from your videos (which I am enjoying) you are living a comfortable frugal life which is is far better than living beyond your means

Wow thank you for the break down!!! I’m 33 and my dream is to one day do this, whenever I see YouTubers usually they moved there early on in life in their teens! Your perspective is a breath of fresh air and gives me hope that I don’t need to give up yet if I budget right!!! Also I love your DIY! That’s so cool❤ and it’s so sweet you went to your students concert.

A lot of people think Japan is a great place to live but if you wish to save money for the future teaching English, Japan is not the place. Go to Thailand/Vietnam/South Korea/China instead. With that said, despite the low income, there are still many English teachers here.
I love how transparent you are. I enjoy watching youtubers who live in the suburbs instead because it’s so much more peaceful. Subbed!

I was fascinated by your trip to the dump especially since I have never seen something so organised.
And the way you put all your expenses down is so common sense!!
I love your chit chatting in japanese and of course beautiful Millie ❤❤ .
Love your channel, for a 55 year old, it is something I resonate with. Thank you…

When I moved here from Hawaii, the resident tax surprised me the most. I live In Yokohama and it’s pretty expensive. Still, after 30 years, I’m still here :) Really enjoying your content. Aloha from Yokohama🤙🏽

Greetings from South Australia 🇦🇺 the coffee table looks great ! I truly am in awe of your adaptability & courage that enables you to live in Japan, a culture so far removed from the Australia we know. Love watching your videos! You’re amazing Chani 🤩

The table turned out great.
Excellent breakdown of living expenses too.

Watching the supermarket and seeing your daily life brings tears to my eyes. I adore Japan.

Thank you, more informative than so many other vlogs. Clearly you watch what you spend but still manage to enjoy the fruits of living and working in Japan. Having a lovely cat as company is a bonus. Makes me jealous here in NSW.

This is a super useful video Chani! Thank you for thoroughly breaking it down.

Frugality? No, wisdom, commonsense and life experience. Your channel is providing many good life lessons. It’s so fulfilling when you learn to appreciate the basic things in life. e.g. your coffee table solution, I’m thinking it makes you feel good every time you see it!
So intriguing to the the living cost comparison to here in Australia. At the rate we’re going, things like take away are no longer good value, rather a luxury and Supermarket prices becoming so high they’re under the scrutiny of the ACCC!
Millie of course was her usual charming self…

Great work with the table. Spray paint the legs black and it will look just like your reference pictures.
Seeing the ratio between your costs and your earnings makes me cry in Californian.
