46 years old My trajectory of saving 200 million yen in 3 years after divorce | Investment Tips for Women

When I decided to divorce at the age of 46, I had no social experience in 22 years of housewife life, saved only 3 million yen from shared property, and lived only in a temporary apartment. People around me said that it was impossible to start over at this age, and I myself spent days crying every day in despair.

I started a part-time job at a convenience store to rebuild my life, but when I paid rent and food expenses at an hourly wage of 1050 yen, my life was exhausted. I was impatient and decided to look for a breakthrough.

At that time, I heard from a classmate who had recovered from divorce that "investment can be started with a small amount." At first, I had a prejudice that "investment is a rich man's play," but I thought it was worth trying in this state, so I started reading books for beginners.

It was not easy to learn new things at the age of 46. I did not understand economic terms, and even the first trial investment of 10,000 yen was lost, so I thought about quitting many times. However, I told myself that if I ran away here, I would throw away my life, so I collected materials at the library on holidays and continued taking online courses until midnight on my way home from part-time work.

Gradually I got the hang of investing and started to make a profit. Repeatedly reinvesting tens of thousands of yen in profits per month, after one year the investment income exceeded the part-time salary, and after two years I was able to quit my part-time job and concentrate on investing.

Now, three years after my divorce, my assets have exceeded 200 million yen, I can buy my favorite apartment and have enough expenses for my children to go to school.

When I recently posted about my experience with Lemon8, I received messages from many women asking, "Is it possible even at the age of 46?," "How did you save 200 million yen?," "I don't know how to start investing," and some wondering, "Isn't it a lie?"

I can understand these voices, so I've organized an overview of asset management - starting with low-risk mutual funds, gradually gaining knowledge of stock investment, and finding a style that suits me.

It's okay if there are people who say "I don't know where to start" or "I can't take steps because of anxiety." I was like that at first too. Please send me a message if you like, and I will give you specific advice based on my experience.

The scariest thing is to hesitate to take a step. Anxiety remains, but if you overcome it and take the first step, your life can change. Just as investment became my breakthrough, I believe that you can escape from difficulties and live an ideal life ✨Economic independence of middle-aged women Restart from the age of 46 Independence after divorce

... Read more46歳で離婚し、ゼロから経済的に自立した経験は多くの女性に勇気と実践的なヒントを与えます。私も同じように専業主婦からパートでの生活を経て、投資を学び始めました。最初は投資が怖く感じ、損失も経験しましたが、それを通じて学び、少額からコツコツ積み立てを続けたことが大切でした。 特に重要なのは、低リスクの投資信託からスタートし、知識と経験を積みながら徐々に株式への挑戦も取り入れたことです。休日に図書館で専門書を読み漁り、オンライン講座を受けて経済や投資用語の理解を深める努力を怠りませんでした。こうした自己研鑽が「投資はお金持ちの遊び」という先入観を打ち破り、自分に合った投資スタイルを見つける礎になりました。 また、感情面のケアも欠かせません。投資は不安や損失の恐れに直面するため、孤独になりがちです。実際に私も幾度となく挫折しかけましたが、同じ経験を持つ友人との情報交換や、SNSでの経験共有によって支えられました。Lemon8での共有は、同じ悩みを持つ女性と繋がる貴重なきっかけとなり、励みになりました。 離婚後の限られた時間と資金の中で経済的自立を目指す女性にとって、ポイントは「まず始めてみる」ことです。小さな一歩でも続けることで、複利効果や知識の蓄積が資産形成の大きな力になると実感しています。私の経験が、同じ困難を抱える方々へ少しでも光となり、安心して未来へ踏み出す自信を持つ助けになれば幸いです。
