[Investment Diary] Certain peace of mind in uncertain times: A 5-year roadmap to 100 million yen in assets
1. Goal: Why aim for 100 million yen?
In today's world where the future is uncertain, I want to live with the certain peace of mind that I can continue to support my family no matter what happens. That is the biggest motivation for aiming for the specific figure of 100 million yen.
In addition to my 4-year-old eldest daughter, there is my eldest son who will be born soon. I have summarized this '5-year challenge' to build a solid economic foundation for the future as my children grow, and to create an environment where my family can live peacefully without being swayed by changes in society.
2. Research: 5 steps to 100 million yen in assets and target progression
This is a simulation that aims to reach the goal by utilizing professional investment methods while aiming for a maximum annual deposit of 5 million yen (a total of 25 million yen over 5 years).
*This is the target asset amount at the end of the year, assuming an initial asset of 10 million yen + an additional investment of 5 million yen every year, and ideal management.
[Years 1-2: 2026-2027] Doubling assets by leveraging a bull market
2026 is a 'tailwind' period where some predict the Nikkei Stock Average will approach 60,000 yen. I will concentrate funds on the major trends of inflation and rising interest rates to rapidly expand assets in the initial stage.
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|l|l|} \hline \text{Period} & \text{Target Asset Amount (Year-end)} & \text{Strategy Theme} & \text{Main Sectors/Stocks to Watch} \\ \hline
\text{Start} & \text{10 million yen} & - & - \\ \hline
\textbf{Year 1 (2026)} & \textbf{20 million yen} & \text{AI Infrastructure and Rate Hikes} & \text{Fujikura (5803), Hitachi (6501), Mitsubishi UFJ (8306)} \\ \hline
\textbf{Year 2 (2027)} & \textbf{35 million yen} & \text{Cyclical Value} & \text{Buying at the 'trough' of cyclical stocks like shipping and chemicals} \\ \hline
\end{array}
$$
[Years 3-4: 2028-2029] Steadily accumulating through strategic investment
A period when assets exceed 35 million yen and the quasi-wealthy bracket comes into view. While strengthening risk management to avoid large losses, I will aim for steady accumulation using highly reproducible methods.
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|l|l|} \hline
\text{Period} & \text{Target Asset Amount (Year-end)} & \text{Method} & \text{Specific Details and Benefits} \\ \hline
\textbf{Year 3 (2028)} & \textbf{55 million yen} & \text{IPO Investment} & \text{Increase winning probability with capital. Accumulate hundreds of thousands in profit with low risk.} \\ \hline
\textbf{Year 4 (2029)} & \textbf{80 million yen} & \text{Event Investment} & \text{Practice 'hard-to-lose investment' by aiming for capital gains before the shareholder benefit record date.} \\ \hline
\end{array}
$$
[Year 5: 2030] Foundation for stable income and reaching the goal
The final year with 100 million yen within reach. Finally, I will control risks and cross the finish line while establishing a 'passive income' system where dividends support the household budget.
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|l|l|} \hline \text{Period} & \text{Target Asset Amount (Year-end)} & \text{Stock Examples} & \text{Investment Points and Benefits to Family} \\ \hline
\textbf{Year 5 (2030)} & \textbf{110 million yen} & \text{SoftBank (9434)} & \text{Directly subsidize daily household budget with high dividends + PayPay benefits.} \\ \hline
\text{(Goal)} & \text{(Achieved & Surplus Funds)} & \text{Takara Tomy (7867)} & \text{Growth market + Tomica benefits for gifts to children and asset protection.} \\ \hline
\end{array}
$$
3. Conclusion: '3 Iron Rules' to support success
To realize this ambitious roadmap, I have summarized the three guidelines I must follow.
-
Fully utilize the strongest weapon: 'Deposit Power'
Taking advantage of my ability to deposit up to 5 million yen annually, I will calmly continue this deposit investment method without being swayed by market fluctuations.
-
Eliminate emotions and maintain discipline with 'limit orders'
To stay calm while busy with work and childcare, I will thoroughly use 'limit orders.' Trading at a price I am satisfied with is the iron rule for not losing assets.
-
Always keep 'family peace of mind' at the center
100 million yen is merely a means for 'my family to live peacefully.' I am convinced that not taking excessive risks and maintaining a perspective of supporting corporate growth will lead to long-term success.
Five years from now, I would like to quietly celebrate the achievement of this roadmap while my children are growing up healthy by my side.
