Kakeibo Monthly Planner
Introducing Kakeibo Planner - Japanese Art of Saving Money
Have you ever found it challenging to meet your saving goal even when you’re using a budget?
Most budgeting systems today involve deducting all your expenses from your income and save the remaining. However, this approach makes it very difficult to consistently reach your saving target. Instead of saving what you haven’t spent, Kakeibo lets you set up your saving target up front then spend the rest, so you won’t have to worry about coming short on your saving again!
💡How Kakeibo works:
Kakeibo technique is easy to follow in 6 simple steps:
Start at the beginning of the month!
Step 1: Calculate all your income.
Step 2: Calculate your monthly fixed expenses - costs and fees that stay pretty much the same every month.
Step 3: Set a saving target for that month.
Step 4: Calculate how much money you have left after deducting your fixed expenses and your saving target.
That’s your monthly budget!
Step 5: Keep track of every transaction and categorize them in four categories.
- Needs: your basic necessities like food, transportation
- Wants: things that are nice to have but not necessary like shopping, eating out
- Cultural: cultural activities like books, movie tickets
- Unexpected: expenses that you never saw coming like car repair, unexpected medical bills
This process can help you look back at your spending activities and give you an idea of where your money is going.
Add up all your weekly expenses and deduct it from the budget earlier and compare it with your saving goal.
✔️Finally, at the end of the month, review your spending and ask yourself these 4 questions:
- How much money do you have?
- How much money are you spending?
- How much do you want to save?
- How can you improve?
