"Dream - A man in Japan is becoming a topic of conversation after showcasing his savings, which amount to 132 million yen or around Rp1.394 billion. Savings accumulated over 20 years after he decided to live a very frugal life. "
According to Oddity Central, the choice to live an extreme frugal lifestyle was driven by his desire for early retirement. He feels that the job he is currently doing is full of pressure. The 45-year-old man, who did not disclose his name, announced on social media that he has finally reached the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) stage or is financially independent and ready for early retirement after dedicating his life to frugal living for the past two decades.
"In the early 2000s, he managed to get a job but was constantly asked to work overtime, sometimes until after midnight. He had a decent salary of around five million yen per year. However, instead of quitting his job, he decided to face all the difficulties and save as much as possible to achieve his ambition of early retirement."
"In his effort to save 100 million yen as quickly as possible, he completely changed his lifestyle. He left his rented apartment and chose to live in a simple company dormitory. For this, he only paid 30,000 yen per month. He also did not buy the necessary equipment and furniture. Instead, he looked for them by scavenging or utilizing items discarded by others. "
The eating pattern has also undergone drastic changes. In the photos that he regularly shares on social media, most of his meals consist of boiled rice and small pieces of fruit or vegetables.
"However, there are days when his dinner consists only of simple energy drinks. This man also never uses air conditioning in the summer and only uses a blanket and cloth to keep warm in the winter."
"This man uses discount coupons to get the cheapest products. To entertain himself at a low cost, he spends his nights in his dormitory watching prison-themed movies and joking that his life is very similar to that of a prisoner."
"At the beginning of this year, after more than two decades of saving, the man announced that he had reached his revised savings target of 132 million yen, allowing him to retire early."
"Unfortunately, after all his hard work. He is once again tested with the drastic depreciation of the yen currency that has fallen sharply since the beginning of 2024. This makes his retirement plans increasingly difficult. "If the yen continues to depreciate, I will never achieve financial freedom," said the man. "What have I worked for all these 21 years? It all means nothing, truly tragic."
