Low Living Costs Turn Earning Money from an Obligation into a Choice ($700/month): I live in a regional Japanese city with my partner. By living minimally and splitting the bills, my personal share of the rent is kept at just $240 USD (approx. 38,000 JPY) per month, keeping my total living cost at $700 USD/month. Many people believe that true security comes from earning a massive income. But if your living expenses are $3,000 a month, you are forced to endure toxic workplaces, overwork, and unbearable stress just to survive. When your monthly survival baseline is only $700, making money ceases to be a endless, painful obligation and becomes an optional choice. 2. A Portfolio of Small Incomes Creates an Unshakable Safety Net: When your monthly budget is locked at $700, you don't need one giant, high-stress full-time job to survive. You can combine small streams of income—such as part-time gigs, delivery, Kindle publishing, or YouTube—to easily hit $700. If one source fails, your life doesn't collapse. Minimalism is not about enduring a poor life; it is about lowering your cost of living so you gain the freedom to say "no" to jobs that drain your soul and health. 3. Building a Life Where You Can Always Reset After Failure: You cannot build a life completely immune to failure, but you can build a life where failure never means the end. I work in the morning and intentionally leave the afternoon open to rest. This is only possible because my financial overhead is so low. I have published over 40 Kindle books and nurtured our text-based Discord community "Tanaka Club" not by taking massive risks, but by maintaining a safe, low-altitude flight at 1 meter. Knowing your exact cost of survival removes the vague terror of the future, leaving you with room to breathe and live comfortably. ---------- Born in '94 | Living with my partner in a 1DK apartment | Monthly living expenses: 110,000 JPY ($700 USD).｜Author of 37 Japanese books and 10 English translations on Kindle.｜A writer who verbalizes the mindset of HSPs and introverts, while earning a living as an Uber Eats rider. My theme is: "Stepping away from society's hectic pace through minimalism to reclaim your true self." Please note: This podcast is rooted in my life in Japan. The lifestyle I share is made possible specifically because of Japan’s unique environment—such as its social safety nets (national health insurance and pension systems), exceptional public safety, and cultural background. Rather than a localized global show, this is a Japanese podcast broadcasted directly from Japan, with English subtitles added. (Please note that the English subtitles are auto-translated by YouTube, so I appreciate your understanding if there are any rough translations!) Even without earning a massive income, by living small and focusing purely on what truly matters to you, life can become incredibly rich and fulfilling. Welcome to my minimal, quiet, and peaceful world.
