When you have 100 yen on hand, you can think of a few things you can use right away. Buy sweets, stationery, and save up. Even if it only costs 100 yen, there are many ways to choose. Even when it comes to homework and lessons, small steps you do every day can make a big difference later on.
Small spending choices often reveal how a person thinks about fun now, usefulness later, and saving for the future.
Pause once before using
I stop and think, "Do I really want it?" "Do I want it tomorrow?" "Is there any other use for it?" This one-time stopping power reduces waste.
Share with your future self
Keep only 10 yen out of 100 yen. That alone means you'll be passing it on to your future self. The habit of keeping things small also helps when dealing with large amounts of money.
Next time you spend 100 yen, think about whether you would like to spend it on your current self or your future self.
