If Philip was dining in the poshest restaurants and staying in an expensive hotel you'd all be saying he's wasting money and how unaffordable his lifestyle is. He's now showing you discipline and sensible budgeting at its finest, whilst enjoying Japan. Top Notch !
Good update, Phil. I admire your ability to spreadsheet all of your expenses so thoroughly. I couldn't be bothered. What is it like, living with room mates?
@@davidbush131no offense to you David, as I realize you’re just parroting the latest fear mongering dogma, but anti seed oil buffoons are the flat earth earthers of the nutrition industry.
Sure. But when I asked to transfer to a different apartment for 19 days they replied "we're a monthly" agency. Then said "but you can stay where you are for 19 days." Lol
Philip, I just realized something quite funny in a good way... I've been watching you for years and it was today that I just noticed you actually look a little like David Bowie.... Cheers my friend ...
Lived in Japan 99-05. Left in June 2005. At that time there were no tourists outside of major sites. They were not ecounraged nor wanted. The Japanese government realized they were sitting on a gold mine for it's sluggish economy. Now it's ranked 10th in the World with 38.6 million visitors in 2023. Prices for food and accomodation still seem reasonable compared elsewhere.
The cheap prices are due to a combination of factors, primarily driven by the weak yen. Japan’s central bank has maintained an ultra-loose monetary policy, including negative interest rates, to stimulate domestic growth and counter deflationary pressures. This has led to a significant depreciation of the yen against major currencies, making Japan an affordable destination for foreign tourists whose purchasing power is amplified. Additionally, Japan’s economic recovery from the pandemic has been gradual, and many businesses in the tourism and hospitality sectors are offering competitive prices to attract visitors and regain lost revenue, further contributing to the lower costs for tourists.

Interesting when you had to buy your groceries, the process ! all so very clean and as you stated good to See employing older guys there, in America pension is availab;le at 62, is it 65 in England , as is N Z ? and June 15 tea total now , good for you, have 2 500 mils can of Peroni , may have one tinight as we probably get beaten again at Eden Park ! ( rugby ), accommodation bit on ten hight side compared to the Philippnes it seems , enjoying your videos, but no karaoki so far ?
I like the concept of employing the elderly. Good for everyone. That being said, why don't they help you bag your groceries? Receipt-O. Everything is word +O. Remember "You Only Live Twice" where the Japs called Bond Bond-O?
In the old days Wendy's used to provide these golden colored spicy sauce packets for their chili. Did you know that the cooked burgers that don't sell are kept for the chili meat?
@@davidbush131 yes. Good old days. Didn't they also have baked potatoes. Chilli and baked potato with sourcream was pretty good but can't remember if it was Wendy's or somewhere else.

Yeah, I enjoy the logging process, which says it all really. Thought I'd hate living with others, but our paths only cross briefly in the kitchen.
Good to see you eating healthy is on your mind, it changed my life. Thank you for the budget tips like the 7/11 atm and the monthly budget
I agree. Stay away from those seed oils and other processed foods. That practice plus eliminating alcohol really will extend your life.

Thanks!
Thank you for your donation. Very kind of you Dave!
2:17 it literally states on the website
for daily weekly and monthly stay
so you can for sure stay shorter than a month
Sure. But when I asked to transfer to a different apartment for 19 days they replied "we're a monthly" agency. Then said "but you can stay where you are for 19 days." Lol
Aren't Ramen soup and noodle shops fairly inexpensive? Or are you not a big fan of Yakisoba, Gyoza, and Ramen? You videos are informative. Thanks. 😊

Wow. I need to go to New York and hook up with Iman, Bowie's missus.
@@BiggWorldCinema.... it's worth a try my friend... Worth a try !

Don’t the Japanese buy vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish at a farmer’s market? Maybe they don’t have them in the large cities?
Why bother when Ranch 99 is right around the corner?
What's the social life with the expats around Sakura House like Phillip ?
Ever since you went to japan your channels been dying, less views, etc.
¥3000/day after rental
That's too much isn't it? Much more than I spend in other countries.

Long-term setups in Japan are more expensive, dating & family
I wouldn't consider it long term. I love the place, but the language barrier and harsh winters are not for me.

Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. 🦉💴💷👍
did you try some dating ?
He's too tight. ( Only joking).
There is virtually no age-gap dating in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Is dating possible, given language barrier?
I love the Japanese but I canhnot live under such limitatioins and be happy.
Which limitations?
@@davidbush131 The conformity, the lack of space. Its a lot like a prison but it works for them. Its just not for me.
i wish there was a nicer way to say this but you really are cheap.
Phil wears it like a badge of honor!
The guy was poor for the first 45+ years of his life, so old habits die hard.
Maybe check my Channel's mission statement in the description.
You should ask for a packet of mayonnaise and hot sauce to put into your chilli. Will taste much better with mayo.
