January is already over. Not a whole lot to say for the month, except that this year’s tax situation looks complicated. My company’s payroll provider apparently also provides tax preparation services as well, so I might go with them to prepare my Japanese taxes for this year, just so I can see how it is done. If it’s not too difficult I will do it myself next year.

Here’s a summary of my financial position this month:

Description 1/25
Total Expenses $2,506.48
Gross Income $7,115.37
Taxes $931.02
Net Income $6,184.35
Savings $3,677.87
Savings Rate 59.5%
Net Worth $523,885.21

Projected time to FI (assuming 6% growth and 4% withdrawal rate): 10 years, 8 months.
