Re: Japan expenses/ Phone bill

Thank you! Would be my long term visa (1 year) a concern fot Ahamo or Aeon? Softbank does not let foreigners with 1 year long-term visa register for a plan so we always ask our Japanese friend but I don’t want to rely on anyone so much.

Re: Japan expenses/ Phone bill

Switching from Softbank to any carrier’s mean you need to change your number as well. That’s also one of my concern when changing. But I’ve been hearing a lot about Ahamo!

Re: Japan expenses/ Phone bill

It’s both smartphone plans and buying the phones but I want to make it cheaper. The smartphone plans also includes 50GB with unlimited calls and this is already a family type of plan. The staff suggested this plan so it’s cheaper. We just agreed bc we couldn’t speak Japanese well. :(

Re: Tsumitate NISA. (Timing to invest)

Thank you. Maybe the article was talking about losing my tax-free allowance by not using it. I was a bit confused. The article might be saying that you will 'lose' your tax-free allowance by not using it all. I have not heard about any punishment taxes associated with tsumitate NISA and in fact it i...

Is it true? Do I have to start by January? If I were to invest in July, I will have to ...

Re: FOREX Trading (Day Trade)

Thank you so much for all your advice. Yes I heard Forex trading is gambling so I also had to think about it carefully. It's best to focus first in paying of my debts and building up an emergency fund:) Forex trading is just gambling really, unless you have a lot of free time to focus on it. It's re...

Re: FOREX Trading (Day Trade)

Thank you so much. I am just worried. I may sound biased or what but just wanted to make sure as I am a foreigner and might taken advantage of because of my limited Japanese language skills.
