Japanese Woman Saves for 15 Years to Buy 3 Homes and Open a Cat Café

A Japanese woman saved for 15 years to be able to buy herself 3 homes and open a cat café by the age of 35. She spent about 200 yen daily on groceries, which she cooked at home. To minimize expenses, she didn’t buy dishes, furniture, clothes, or other items. She adhered to the motto: "Never buy anything without a discount." Thanks to such thriftiness, she was able to save enough to buy her first home in northern Tokyo for 10 million yen by the age of 27. The financial literacy guru shared that the motivation for such a frugal lifestyle arose from the desire to save homeless cats.
