Reflecting on the double-era of Reiwa's past "The year 2013"

This is Reiwa no Double-I.

Reiwa no double I is before it becomes Reiwa no double I,

In 2013, after spending 5 million yen in savings, this is the scene where I dive into FX.

After all, merely saving would start to wear down my spirit, so

I was focusing on "reducing expenses,"

but I began to think, "Let me also challenge myself to increase income!"

and that became my mindset.

--------------------------------

And the first thing I started was

"foreign currency deposits."

It was around the start of Abenomics.

I opened an internet bank for the first time and

started foreign currency deposits.

...but at first I hesitated a lot.

Because,

I had a strong resistance to losing principal.

...but if I didn't do it, I wouldn't see growth...

After much hesitation, I decided to go ahead with it.

Then, as expected,

in front of my own eyes,

money would increase or decrease...

Even though I thought yen might depreciate with Abenomics,

I found I couldn't hold for long...

...before I knew it,

I was repeatedly buying and selling foreign currency deposits (lol)

Back then, the fee for USD/JPY foreign currency deposits was about 1 sen (lol).

While doing all that,

my eyes landed on a tab for an Internet bank.

"... FX?? What could that be??"

This was my encounter with FX.

Upon looking closer, I was amazed!

Fees (spreads) were as little as 0.1 sen!

That was when I felt, "This is it!"

Next time's ramble will cover what I traded first in Reiwa no Double I.

I'll talk about what I traded first.

Well then!
