Kakebo: The Japanese Art of Mindful Spending

It's just a book to add the entries. It more like a planner.I was looking for more information. It does not contain any detailed information.

One of the best tool to plan your financial goals and budget.

Love this system - can't really call it a book but a new and mindful way of tracking your spending. I want to save but can be very frivolous with my money - I only have to look at my previous purchases on Amazon to know how much I spend! This system forces you to both account for the actual money you have at the beginning of the month which also includes the change in your car/purse/pocket as well as the more obvious income such as wages but, rather than berating yourself for what you spend, the system encourages you to set aside an amount for certain purchases and stick to it. Seems obvious but it is supposed to cut down on that impulsive shop that frankly I know I could probably survive another day without!. My suggestion is to just spend as normal for the first couple of weeks of doing the Kakebo to see what your spending actually looks like then apply the other parts of the system where you deliberately think in advance about how much you will spend on which items. Love it!

Only just arrived so can't comment on how weel it works but it looks good. Biggest negative so far is that the description says it is for 2 years when it only lasts for 1 which is disappointing as I expected more.Update 17/08/19. Used for two months now and it's still good but it is already starting to fall apart. By the time I get to 6 months I expect it'll be in pieces. Disappointed as it is really useful.

I like the layout of the book, enough space and sensible headings.

The best kakebo I found available online. A very useful tool to keep track of your finances.

love love love this book so lovely I want to buy another one for next year already . so happy and good price
