What bank/institution are your kids' regular accounts with? We made bank accounts for the kids specifically at MUFG in order to purchase the eMSAC easily, but it's not possible to purchase shares of that online... General advice is to use one of the large online brokers. They let adults set up acco...

I wanted to "gift" my kids 1m each year and invest that into their own investment accounts (eMaxis Slim All-Country). However, after transferring the money into their accounts a few months ago, I came to realize (with a couple of phone calls to their bank) that they are not eligible to in...

I have a plot of land and would be happy to be doused in gasoline, burned, then scattered on that land. I've wondered if this is OK... Not the human BBQ out back, but the scattering of ashes.

I've had great success with Danish Endurance socks on Amazon... I run and train quite a bit and these socks last really well. They're comfy and the merino blend have been great during the winter. For skiing, skating etc. I've splurged and bought legit Smartwool socks and they're on another level!

Anyway, I live in Nagano surrounded by mountains, up around 700m elevation and the unit has been a waste of money unfortunately... When we ...

I have an Online BNS Saver account with HSBC that is paying me 4% right now and the money is not locked in -I can add/withdraw instantly...

Not quite sure what sparked my interest back in 2018, but I stumbled upon the RetireJapan guides for iDeCo and NISA, and then the forum.

Will it just continue or automatically change over? Yes. Cool! So I have my TNISA running now at ¥4man a month (the ¥33,333 + ¥6,667 thanks to a late start in the year). Does this mean I don't have to do anything and it'll continue to invest ¥4man a month into the same eMaxis Slim All-Country? If s...
