I remember I was surprised to know Kakeibo seemed new to some countries. Without that, how do they manage their households without going bankrupt?Kakeibo is not different at all from the accounting of an organization. Plan or foresee the amount of income, set a budget, and track expenses regularly.How Japanese Kakeibo looks likeThis is how a typical Kakeibo notebook looks like.Monthly calendar on the left page where you can write plans to foresee expenses. Monthly balance on the right page.These are daily pages where you record expenses categorizing them under expense items.That’s it.People generally buy Kakeibo books from bookstores.Allowance book for childrenA lot of Japanese start keeping Kakeibo since their childhood. Kakeibo for children is called お小遣い帳 (Okodukai-cho; allowance book) in which they record allowance, expenses, and the balance.What I useI personally use personal accounting service called Money Forward ME. Nothing’s new except for its pulling all the data from my accounts. I even pay ¥500 ($5) per month for their premium plan and it’s worth it.StepsGet a tool. A notebook, an Excel template, a designated app as I do, or you can even create the format by yourself with a sheet of paper and a pen.Design your expense item framework. Name each item and make it a tree structure.Set a monthly budget for each expense item AND SAVINGS. Make sure the grand total of them is lower than your monthly income.Keep tracking your expenses.Do monthly closing at the end of each month and review the month.TipsPool your money for planned temporary expenses.e.g. If you have to pay ¥100,000 ($1,000) for your insurance every year, set ¥9,000 aside every month for that. Don’t try to squeeze out that amount in a month.Review each expense.Give them a “necessary” or “waste” mark.Don't care too much about mistakenly unaccounted money but make ends meet.You need to make the item “unaccounted” in Step #2.Find a comfortable way for you.What is comfortable and easy to continue totally depends on the individual. If you haven’t kept Kakeibo and like spreadsheets, it might be best to start by creating your original format.
