Two jobs and no rent can add up to a LOT of money.

One full-time job is:
40 hours a week times, say, 50 weeks a year (two weeks off) = 2,000 work hours a year.

$10/hour, one full-time job = $20,000 a year (not counting taxes, health insurance, other expenditures you might have).

So having a goal of saving enough for a very short stint in Japan, considering your economic situation, is very doable.
