Investing in Japan for Expats | Simple 4-Phase System (Complete Guide 2026)

5 years ago, I had no idea how to invest in Japan. My money was just sitting in the bank earning almost nothing. After years of trial and error, surveying other expats, and learning from JL Collins' "The Simple Path to Wealth," I figured out a simple system that actually works. In this video, I'm sharing the overall 4-phase roadmap I'm using to invest in Japan as an expat: 📍 Phase 1: Foundation - Track spending, eliminate debt, build emergency funds 📍 Phase 2: Education - Learn index funds, NISA, and which funds to buy 📍 Phase 3: Action - Open your brokerage account and make your first investment 📍 Phase 4: Optimization - Advanced strategies for long-term growth This isn't about getting rich quick. It's about building wealth steadily and automatically while you focus on living your life in Japan. Whether you're earning ¥4M or ¥8M+ per year, this system works. Start with as little as ¥30,000 per month and let time do the heavy lifting. 🔖 Check the full series:    • 💵 Expat Finance   💬 Comment below: Which phase are you starting from? 1, 2, 3, or 4? 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell icon so you don't miss the detail about Phase 1 next week!    / @trunksng   Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: My investing journey 0:57 - My relationship with money 5:08 - The 4-phase system explained 5:58 - Phase 1: Foundation 6:24 - Phase 2: Learn the Basics 7:07 - Phase 3: Action 7:34 - Phase 4: Optimization 8:57 - The power of compound interest Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/still-...
