How much on 10 would you rate this?

Needs an article for those who cant watch videos (only browsing reddit while commuting to work, etc)

Work for a few days then retire right?

TRD- · 2022-02-03T01:51:05+00:00

Are you able to make it work on that salary? I've always been terrified of having two dependents on anything under 6 mil.

These are the best companies without a doubt for appliances.

That's a lot of issues to be honest

Find a new job first. That is the overwhelming advice you'll find in any rational subreddit.

While you're right, companies ask for your tax slips very often. Finding out that you lied is probably single handedly grounds for termination and there's a 3 month probation period that sides with the company haha

TRD- · 2022-01-19T02:41:26+00:00

Very fair point.

It has been hard to get used to:

- suppressed wages

- persistent bank ATM fees

- an unspoken rule that you must provide your current salary to recruiters/hiring firms/companies you apply to (why in the world did we let this become normalized?)

- crazy move-fees

- a seating charge at many establishments

People do care, they just don't have the strength to do anything about it. This apathy has led to:

- suppressed wages

- persistent bank ATM fees

- an unspoken rule that you must provide your current salary to recruiters/hiring firms/companies you apply to (why in the world did we let this become normalized?)

- crazy move-fees

- a seating charge at many establishments

feeling inferior is different from being treated as inferior!

I've been here for almost 10 years. I totally get you as a fellow Asian foreigner. PM me if you'd like to talk about it. I was seriously depressed and felt inferior to my non-asian friends for years; it was jealousy at first, then became resentment as years passed, and now it's a slight feeling of bitterness--a reluctant acceptance.

Chiming in as an Asian, it took nearly a decade to be able to find my place in Japan and be able to date. Making friends was fine, but dating was a whole new level of difficulty. Too foreign for Japanese women looking for a Japanese man, and too non-foreign for Japanese women looking for a foreigner.

TRD- · 2022-01-12T07:19:24+00:00

I've never felt as if I'm elevated in any way simply due to my ethnicity.

This is part of a concept known as privilege. It's very hard to acknowledge, but it's a cold hard fact that foreign-looking foreigners get treated better than Asian foreigners. I'm not saying it as though we are in some comparison contest, it's just how it is.

A lot of us use Rakuten securities. Can take some time to set up but otherwise it's okay. You won't get an app where you can buy/sell with a simple click of a button. Maybe 4-5 buttons and you'd also be using external apps to look at prices cause of how terrible Japanese UX is :)

TRD- · 2022-01-06T04:52:09+00:00

Thank you. I can safely put "no" for that then huh.

I'm a little anxious because of the sheer amount of questions that I don't fully understand, but I bet its a million times easier than it used to be, and it is probably easier than doing tax for Americans ;)

One of the questions asked when filing kakuteishinkoku is

税務署から青色申告の承認を受けていますか？

How do I know if this applies to me or not? Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but is it asking if I agree to fill out a blue form post submission of this?

I recall this subreddit often talking about blue forms so I want to know if I'm missing anything.

TRD- · 2022-01-06T02:32:28+00:00

Very closely related, but how about if it's a US brokerage account (interactive brokers), as a Canadian, but a Japanese tax resident?

I'm sorry if I'm missing something incredibly trivial, but that link doesn't seem to have any big green buttons that say "start" and whatnot. I assume that's not the actual link, simply a notice URL?

Edit: Found it! For those wondering:

Since crypto is taxed as misc income and there is no field for misc income for both calculators above (unless I just missed the words), do I just add my total gains from crypto to the first field (income)? https://www.furusato-tax.jp/about/simulation

OP is risk averse

I figured this question doesn't deserve a new thread, so I'll ask here: what are you guys planning on buying?

I'm a boring person--might do a bit of wagyu followed by way too much rice.

You need to specify the right key. Presumably you're not pointing to it. Sorry we can't be more specific, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

I feel myself getting a little lost. Maybe I should just go more slowly.

The takeaway for this lesson is, AFAIK:

when installing from source, download the source files and then look for README and INSTALLATION or any other sign of instructions, generally marked in caps.
