I’m rich, I’M RICH!!!!
Not really. I’m actually not going to comment on my economic status other than to note that today when I withdrew money from the ATM, the balance indicated that I had about $100,000 more in my savings account than I thought I did. Today was payday. I thought that perhaps I got a bonus no one told me about, or a special raise. I certainly feel a $100,000 bonus is appropriate but I’m not sure the company does. I figured there was some sort of mistake, but I will admit to immediately checking my bank balance as soon as I got home (actually, I had to turn on the AC before I did anything). I got paid, but the normal amount which is slightly less than $100,000.
I don’t think Japan collapsed economically today, cutting the Yen so significantly that it would look like I have $100,000 more in savings. Yahoo! headlines do not show anything major.

The currency markets look pretty stable too.

I guess it was just a math error of some kind. I am definitely monitoring my back account though. I don’t want the math error subtracting substantially more money out of my savings account!
This is my living-in-Japan-as-an-expat blog. No, I am not a teacher over here. I am working with a Japanese company on a big project. That's enough said. Why the blog? Simply it is to capture my life and observations for friends and family so the separation doesn't seem so great. And if others enjoy it, all the better.
