I recently read the book, "Get Money Freedom by Age 60!" plus a national resource that you should definitely take a look at if you don't know about it.

Hello, I am washi artist Hiroya.

Today's blog is not about accessories, but about a book I recently read that was extremely beneficial to me.

I love to read.I basically only read business books, but I read a wide range of books regardless of the type of business. I love reading books because they broaden my world.

As you can see from the image above, the book I am about to introduce is covered with sticky notes. That's how much I learned from it.

This book is an investment-related book, but regardless of whether you are investing or not, I found it very helpful in understanding how to look at the world and how it moves.

In particular, the government document [Financial System Council, Market Working Group Report "Asset Formation and Management in an Aging Society"] linked below was easy to understand and comprehend.

The fact that such a document exists and that it was created with the hope that the public would read it (although I had no idea about such a document... I think there is a problem with the fact that people do not know about it or do not have the opportunity to know about it) made a lot of things become clear to me after reading it, and I learned a great deal.

Even if you are not interested in the aging society and asset building of the title of the book, it will be helpful for those who live in Japan to know what Japan will look like in the future.

If you haven't seen it yet, please take this opportunity to watch it.

Now, let me introduce the contents of this document.It would be hard, or rather tedious, to introduce all the sticky points, so here are some excerpts.

• If we narrow it down to the ultimate, I think there are only three types of work in the world

1. A job I love
2. Jobs I don't hate
3. Jobs I don't like

• People who should definitely read this book include

1. People who are vaguely, but not necessarily, worried about their future in terms of money.
2. A businessperson who is not too worried about money but is anxious to retire in a few short months. In other words, people who have been selflessly devoted to their companies and would be bewildered if they were suddenly released from their jobs.
3. People in their early 20s to early 30s who have prepared carefully and only want to do "work they don't hate" from about age 40 at the latest.
4. Early 50s or younger, who are not satisfied with the conditions for rehiring at age 60, but are vaguely dissatisfied that they have no choice but to accept rehiring in order to make a living.
5. Early 50s or younger who are in a depressive mood, thinking about a job they don't want to do but have to work past the age of 70 because of the money.

 

That is all.

How was it? If you are interested, please read it.I read it 2-3 times in a row because it was interesting.I think I gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom for less than 1,000 yen.
