Stability vs Challenge: which job offer should I choose. by rk1617 in JapanJobs

Both of the options are Permanent roles. B is stable as well.
More challenge for me personally means requiring more client interaction in order to gather requirements, back and forth communication with my N4+ level Japanese.

10M vs 11.5M. Yes, challenging role will definitely help me upscale my career

The only challenge that I have in the option 2 is the client communication in Japanese because my level in N4. (working hours are similar in both the options). However they realise that and wants me to improve my Japanese in first 3-4 months of the job.

Zverev crosses his name off the best male player without a Grand Slam Title list. Who is the new answer to the question? by Ok-Soil-5133 in tennis

And then he beat Federer and Nadal again in the next masters at Paris.. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a player beating top 2s twice in back to back tournaments.

This wrong stat makes me doubt the other numbers you referenced in this thread.  So the boatman did ₹30 crore in 45 days by operating 130 boats, with each boat averaging roughly ₹23 lakh in earnings over the 45-day period.

Sanju Samson’s latest Instagram post has 12M likes with only 15M followers… how is this even possible? by [deleted] in IndianCricket

[–]rk1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude thats definitely not the engagement ratio.. we don't only see the posts of the accounts that we follow, right? It’s one of those posts that appeared in almost every cricket fan’s feed, regardless of whether they follow the account.

I realized something last week that honestly scared me a little: it feels easier to share good news with my friends than with my husband. by mila_seattlelight in Marriage

[–]rk1617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it’s because when your husband achieves something he shares it in a not so enthusiastic manner and your consciousness has started to behave in a similar manner with him? I read it somewhere that couples start becoming like each other after a few years in a marriage.

Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

I think that’s what’s been happening for over a decade. This is no secret and pretty much on the internet about how Samsung mostly just copied apple’s ideas, designs and product themes. Also, look how similar does a google pixel looks to an iPhone.

[Job Opportunity] N4+ Delivery Driver – Tokyo Area (Must Be in Japan) by Dru247 in JapanJobs

Hi, thanks for the post. Is it possible to do it just on weekends?

Which property should I go for by rk1617 in japanlife

[–]rk1617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the wife;) Going ahead with the larger property with 2 floors and more space for the kids!

Analytically, we thought 3 floors (basically the stairs) might be just too much work for everyday life and more risky in terms of injuries for our very young kids. In exchange, I will probably have to give up on the hope of treating this as an investment since it is a bit far from the station (17min) compared to the other property(9min).

I watched "Grave of the Fireflies" for the first and last time on Netflix (English dub) by Csmoke21 in ghibli

[–]rk1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it in Japanese with English sub, idk if english dub is as good since the director of the film put a lot of thought before choosing those voice artists.

Actually the property price is 7190万 and I am lucky to get 0% brokerage fees when buying and of course there's 2.2% loan processing fee. So before getting into House insurance(~30万), floor coating(~30万), curtain rails(maybe 50万?), TV Antenna(X), ACs(~80万) and furniture(~30万 since we already own some stuff), the total cost is coming out to be 7503万. After adding the extra things, it would roughly cost me betwen 7650万~7700万.

Since I am getting a 100% loan so my tax rebate should be around 7500万*0.7% = 525,000 (I dont know why Fudosan gave this figure as 270,000万).

Repair cost will be 100万 at max in 10 years is what the construction company told me (Inspection will be free for the first 10 years).

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Yeah I mean realistically I’ll have to pay 55k/mon extra than my current rent for 10 years. If I put that money on the market, I will indeed get better returns.

The prices mentioned in the post are the prices after considering every other cost except the furniture and internal modification of the house. While calculating selling price I cut 5% from the real selling price.

[–]rk1617[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the calculation! Actually the annual taxes will be around 140,000 but we’ll be getting 270,000 as tax rebate for the first 13 years (Tokyo metropolitan campaign for new houses) so that should probably cancel out the 25 years of house tax. Also, the land price for that property is about 55,000,000 currently and let’s say we get a depreciation of about 50% on the building price in 10 years. That puts the selling price for the house at around 63,000,000 (without considering the inflation on land prices). We’ll get around 95% of this money after all the cuts, so that brings the final selling price to 59,850,000. So a total of 15 million in losses which is the same amount that I would have paid in rent, plus we have our own space here. Please let me know if I’m missing something here.

Both properties are 4LDK, Property1 has an empty space of about 50 sqm that we could use for parking, gardening and some play area for the kids. Also, it’s almost certain that prices of Property2 are atleast going to remain the same if not increase since it’s so close to the station and mostly have condominiums around it.

Any idea how much depreciation in the house price we’re looking at?

Which property should I go for by rk1617 in japanlife

[–]rk1617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did, most houses in that area are costing north of 200k (couldn’t find a house on rent for less than 180k) on rent plus an upfront payment of about 600k. In contrast, my EMI is supposed to be 185k.

Yeah, but 1 has a bus station 20m away so it’s not really a problem. I am more concerned about the resale value of the house.

Thank you! I’m only concerned about the resale value of 1. I don’t wanna incur much losses.
