The number of single households in Japan has surpassed for the first time the number of married couple households. More and more women are opting to remain single longer or forever.
What once was a man’s domain, the “wise” investing of family earnings has now seen a larger number of women – presumably single – looking to financial markets where they can get a higher rate of return than the low-interest accounts of banks. My wife is the married equivalent.
There is a growing demand for websites and seminars for individuals with little or no experience in investing. I personally know of one woman who has made more than 2 million yen in the last six months on gold and silver markets.
It is my firm belief that education about money shouldn’t begin after you start working. It should start from the age when a child understands that the ice cream mommy bought cost money. Parents are the first line of defense against fiscal irresponsibility as adults. Jim Rohn, a renowned business coach and public speaker, says that the goal of every parent and educator should be to give a child the fiscal and moral training to allow the child by the tender age of eighteen to be independently wealthy.
Thus, the opportunity lies in teaching young Japanese children through manga step-by-step training booklets for elementary-age school children and online training for middle and senior high school students in the art of becoming financially independent. This could also build up a strong mailing list which will then buy your proprietary software for researching and investing worldwide once they graduate from high school.
