Thanks for the input and we’ve got the insurance angle sorted out for life, illness/cancer and loss of income (me only) at corporate rates (60%-ish discount).

Hi Everyone,

Been in Japan since 2012. DB rolled over to DC then rolled over to iDeCo when i was no longer eligible for the corporate plan.

Planning on a Nisa or Tsumitate for 2023 haven't made my mind yet and then wait for the New Nisa in 2024.

Thanks again for sharing all that wealth of information about retiring in Japan!

宜しくお願いします

Hello all!
I just joined the forum as it is a god-saving resource to navigate finances in Japan!
I work as an English teacher in Hokkaido, and thanks to the people on this site, I was finally able to start my 2024 Nisa account and transfer some money in.
I am not very knowledgeable on investments and money management, so please forgive my basic questions if any had to happen.
:D
