This is how much I earn as an ALT working in Japan! After some research, I realised that my gas bills are WAY over the average... Time to cut down on the hot water... Also, you would probably spend much lesser on groceries if you're not buying as much junk food and sweet drinks as I do 😝 Anyway, everyone's spending is different, but I hope this gives you a rough guide of whether you would be able to save money if you're planning to work as an ALT in Japan!

    I'm not an ALT but this came up to my recommendations. Knowing how underpaid ALTs are, I recommend those who wants to work or move to Japan to take it as a stepping stone and transfer to their desired job after a year or two. All the best!

    Thank you for sharing! ❤️ Looks like I gotta be more realistic about working in Japan…

    Thanks a lot for sharing. Quick question how does one apply to be ALT and what are the basic requirements?
  • @mayayoshihata6636
    I consider myself to be a stoic person, yet the ALT job seems little feasible to me 😅. All the best to you with your living expenses.

    ALT means "Assistant Language Teacher"

    I think this is very true! I spend about 160.000 yen on average for a month :( That's why I feel so confused when the company offered me 200.000 yen + commuting 30.000 yen :(
  • @shadytaha2582
    Hey thanks for video, very insightful. How much do you pay for tax every month and is it legal in Japan to do part time job at an eikiwa or any other type of schools after you school hours? thanks in advance :)
  • @Darkhorse12022
    Before companies were forced to pay insurance and pension, you could easily save up your first year. But now, it’s almost impossible to save
  • @terencempofu7061
    how did you apply ,and whats the best time to start applying for the program?
  • @ManachanJapan
    Maybe you can try Eikiwa or kindergarten? Pay is much better. Not just here in Tokyo, but nationwide Greets from Tokyo

    ¥230k a month in a high expense society…..barely makes sense unless you’re young and want the cultural experience of Eastern life vs the West
