    Hi.
    Im currently working in Japan but am going home soon.
    What is the smartest thing to do with my money? I plan to use it as savings. Should I leave it as yen? Or change it? Dollar or Euro?
    I also have a British Bank account so could put it there if GBP is the best.

    Thanks for your help!!

    Generally speaking, keep your savings in your base currency to avoid FX risk.

    Will you be living in the Eurozone in the long-run, if so keep your savings in EUR.

    Use an online broker, to convert the money from JPY to EUR so you get a good rate.
