Now that all the posts about Kakeibo are done, you are all set to plan your finances. But, just a
quick last thing to do.Let’s think of the year as a whole now.
What special expenditure will occur during the course of the next twelve months?
Think about:
1. Holidays (short breaks or longer trips)
2. Occasions (birthdays, weddings or festivals)
3. Special events: concert, shows
4. Material goods (sofa, phone, laptop)
5. Life Events (moving houses or starting a new business)
These things are all outside your usual daily or monthly outings, but by laying it out in this way
you can see how frequently this ‘ once in a while’ spending becomes.
Think about how much you would need to save each month to meet this total cost. Maybe this
figure alone will be enough to stretch you, or maybe you could set yourself a more ambitious
target. Either way, it’s worth keeping this figure in mind to make sure that you are not caught
short one month.
Now, you are all set for your Kakeibo journey!
