when someone should take decision to start investing in Japan , Nisa, MF or property .. if not getting sure how long he may say (with / without his will) .. shoudl be be only after PR or before that also .. espcially someone already lived 5 yrs in Japan want to live more but not very sure about the future.
If you are planning to leave in a year or two, probably doesn't make sense to invest here. If you will be here at least 5 years, maybe use NISA to invest. If you will be here for the long term, look at iDeCo. Real estate investments might make sense depending on your circumstances.
Hi Ben, Quick question about mutual fund. as Dividend is automatically reinvested, is there anyway we can see report about how much the dividend actually got reinvested? the operation info in emaxis about Dividend usually state there's 0 dividend payment.
Hi Ben, I am new to your channel. Your videos are really informative and helpful. I will be coming to Japan next year as an international student. I have a big interest in investing besides my studies. I hope you will guide me through it. Thanks.
Have really been helped with your video content explaining NISA, and was bummed to hear I'd missed out on the announcement and the accompanying discount, which I definitely would have taken advantage of had I seen it. Any chance I could get even a slight discount for, well, no real good reason, I guess, other than I'm a somewhat decent dude :) Also, I am an American so haven't used the NISA myself, but my wife (who isn't American) has opened one, and we are investing using her name and account. Can you see any pitfalls I might not be noticing?
I just bought it and I am already excited to read it. Thank you for the effort and passion you put into creating this.
It's now out! Hope you find it useful 😀

I'm not sure. I've never looked into that. I presume there is something in the fund reports about that somewhere!
I see. the same assumption here, but when I read your new book, it kind of reminded me of this and how I never find answer yet .
I will be buying it. I just saw this video didn’t know a new one was out.
Remember, if you bought the Guide already you should have received a copy of the new version for free (no need to buy it). Let me know if you haven't.
Can I invest in NISA if I’m already investing in SBI Benefit Systems 401K?
Yes, any resident of Japan over the age of 18 can open a NISA account. There are no other conditions or restrictions.

Sure, watch some more of our videos or check out the RetireJapan website :)
Just bought my copy, but GumRoad giving me issues. Can't view the book past the front page. Incredibly frustrating. Any alternatives?
The book will be published on June 30th. We'll send you a copy then!
@@RetireJapan_OG My bad. Got it today and really interesting read so far, thanks!
Why no new videos...
Ha, ha, you're the first person to ask 😉
New one on the way.
@@RetireJapan_OG Cool, looking forward to it
Thank you. Could you share a video on how to purchase shares on Rakuten Securities?
Best couple of thousand yen I ever spent
Thank you!

As long as your wife is not filing with the IRS, you shouldn't have any issues. So no married filing jointly, etc.
@@RetireJapan_OG Got it. Thanks for the quick reply! Really appreciate your videos.
My retirement plan is to get a young wife to go to work for me.
Good luck with that plan 😉
