7/8 One way to become reasonably wealthy

The Dodgers lost a comeback game.
It's not good to completely crush the last-place team anyway, so losing is fine, isn't it?
You just need to beat the strong teams.

A day spent watching the Dodgers, having conveyor belt sushi, cleaning my room, reading a novel, and going for a 10km run. Pretty fulfilling.

My room is a small 4.5-tatami mat space with my PC and a triple monitor setup (three 40-inch TVs), but I like it because there's almost nothing else in it, so even a full-spec cleaning finishes quickly.
Minimalism is the best indeed.

As for novels, continuing from last month, I started reading "Border Incident" by Tetsuya Honda.
The author's name might not be that famous, but he is the person who wrote Strawberry Night, which starred Yuko Takeuchi.

He has a lot of crime/gruesome murder-themed works.
I have time, and since they can be bought cheaply at Book-Off now, I want to read all of them.

The sun was setting and it got cooler, so I went for a run.
Running makes food taste better, exercise is important!

Regarding the title "How to become reasonably wealthy".
In my opinion, it's about declaring your goal out loud, like "I will save X amount of yen by X year." *It doesn't have to be about money; it could be dieting or anything else.

Sorry to those who read this expecting some amazing technique.

But I believe that by declaring it out loud, you have already achieved 30% of your goal.
(N=1. In other words, this is just my personal experience...)

About four years ago, I think, I made a plan to save money, calculated how much I needed to have to quit my job, and then on Twitter I made a statement to the effect of "Saving money to quit my job early."

After that, I just kept tweeting about money.
I even took on part-time jobs to increase my savings a little bit. I tweeted, "I earned XX yen today."

"Saving money to quit my job early."
To ensure my own words wouldn't become a lie, I kept declaring it out loud.
By declaring it out loud,you stop doing things that contradict "increasing your money."That's why it grows. You get closer to the goal.

Thanks to efforts like part-time work and the support of the market, I could see the goal about two years ago, so I declared the retirement date, including "I will resign in December 2025."
In reality, due to work project circumstances and being a little short on money, it was delayed by five months, but I was able to successfully achieve the goal I set four years ago.

It doesn't matter if the content you declare out loud catches anyone's eye.
In fact, people who happen to see it might find it annoying.
But that doesn't matter.
If you can achieve your own goal and change your future, that is something to be proud of.

Walking the talk.
I believe there is a surprising magic in declaring things out loud.
