Definition
Hani Motoko was a Japanese journalist who lived between 1873 and 1957. She is considered the japan’s first female journalist.
A great part of her work was focused on finances with a special interest in household finances, which were at former times managed by women. After deep research, she came up with a revolutionary method that would improve the financial situation for normal-status families. That method was called Kakeibo.
Basically, this method consists of writing down each day both, incomes and expenses, offering an overview of what is actually happening with the money. Once this analysis is done, the next step is about questioning ourselves. Those expenses made for not necessary goods, do we really need them? This method, Kakeibo, is based on questions that eventually lead us to clean up our financial habits by avoiding impulsive expenses.
My aim is to bring this to our current moment and create an App that offers different ways to save money even if our financial situation is not in the best shape.
