Our Mission
Escape the ordinary with us! She's a Japanese native with a love for home; he's an American dreamer with a yen for Japan. Together, we're a Japanese-American couple on an audacious mission: day trading our way to building our dream house and a new life in the serene Japanese suburb.
Why this unconventional path? Faced with the daunting prospect of lifelong mortgages in the U.S., we decided to forge our own. 'House or Bust' is the chronicle of this high-stakes adventure: the triumphs, the setbacks, and the lessons learned as we navigate the markets. Our goal? To turn market volatility into a foundation, aiming for ¥30 million by 2026. Follow our journey as we trade, save, and build our way to a life less ordinary.
Disclaimer: Day trading involves high risk. Our journey documents our personal experience, not financial advice. Past performance ≠ future results.
