THE ONE WALLET ECONOMY OF THE KONOHANA FAMILY

The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind.” — T.T. Munger

 This is everyone’s money. Money is an expression of our own hearts. In the world today, there are many misfortunes involving money. Here, people live supporting each other. If people’s hearts become one, it is natural that money also become one and is shared by everyone. Everyone can live happily with less money than if they owned it individually.

Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.

Nine money secrets of the Amish

The Amish are known for their off-the-grid lifestyles and communities. To be self-reliant, they also have to be good with money. These are nine money tips to learn from the Amish.

https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Saving-Money/2015/0928/Nine-money-secrets-of-the-Amish

While the average American saves in the 5% range, the average Amish adult saves close to 20% of their monthly income. Savings becomes a way of life for the Amish and creates a sense of financial independence. Knowing that you owe money to no one, and are actually accruing interest on your savings, is something most Amish cherish.

If you earn $1000 a week, save between 20 to 30% of it, which is $200 or $300 for safekeeping. For example, We would allocate 10% into a general savings account, another 10% into our investing account, and a final 10% into a charity account.
