I used Ken Corp before when I bought our house in Tokyo, I wonder if they can help out with this sort of thing. I would recommend caution in using Ken Corp. A few years back I was considering a move and had a few real estate firms give me an estimate on the value of our home which is located in the...

Thanks - maybe worth making that a sticky post in this forum so it is easy to find. The new system does look a lot better than the old system. Hopefully the lifetime limits will be removed in time.

Are dividends tax-free in this new NISA structure?

Oh, you can have both types? I am going from this table here which to be honest isn't entirely clear.

I promised a 101 doc, so here it is. I'm sure others will offer opinions, suggestions, or corrections... Gratefully received... This is a simply awesome post. Thank you for going through it in so much detail. I am quite tempted by this. Does anyone know any good, trustworthy English speaking real e...

Thank you!

So basically you can pay in the maximum amount per year for 7-10 years until you hit the limit. Then you can take it all out without capital gains tax, and start again building up a new pot for 7-10 years. Seems a bit of an odd design.

If this is how it works than it seems like a decent plan, much improved. What's the difference between a Tsumitate NISA (1.2 million ...

These days, when a buyer has to wait months, or more likely a year, before a new car can be delivered (and at it's sticker price, with no discounts), it's no wonder that all the 'traditional' rules of thumb about decline in value and what a used car may go for are pretty much out the window. To mis...

In addition to your points on displaying social status or vehicle enthusiast (neither of which apply to me) I'd add in new features/safety. Our new car is so much easier to drive and has so many new safety features I had absolutely no idea about. I am much happier about the upgrade now I've driven i...

I have Prestia Gold, for me the only worthwhile thing is no charge on domestic bank transfers. Saves a little end month. Not really found any other worthwhile benefits, but it is free to upgrade so no harm.

Wow, that is a lot of information. Thank you again for finding it. The permutations they go through are too much for my little head at one sitting. I think this is the key point though NP, on the other hand, differs from EPI in that the reserve ratio continues to decline. It is clear that even if th...
