That comment about buying things from the gas station like a reward for not doing anything, is so true. Those little purchases here and there are always the ones I forget about, then at the end of the day I’m wondering where my money went. This was a lot more insightful than you think. Thanks for another great vid.

Growing your own herbs is probably the best tip. You dont need much gardening knowledge or space, many of them can be rooted from herbs you buy in the grocery so you can buy one and be set for a while, and they add so much value to your food, in both flavour and nutrition. Also fresh herbs at the grocery store are quite pricey for the amount you get. So growing your own really saves in the long haul Edit: other easy things to grow from grocery scraps: bell peppers, chilis, all kinds of squash. You can also plant carrot, radish, and beetroot tops, though they won't grow more carrots or radishes or beets, they do grow out the leaves which are edible and you can harvest as needed and add to salads for extra greens. They're quite yummy.

The way that I cut down is match my fast food spendings of the week and send that amount to my savings account .I realized I was spending too much on fast food and slowly cut back and now I’m only at once or twice a week instead of everyday

I appreciate your perspective on credit cards and I wish personal finance YT talks said more of this. Got my first CC at 18 and putting charges on it that would not be paid in full come payment date was never an option for me. But the points and cashback really add up. Wife & I got a Chase Preferred card a few months ago, unfortunately with an annual fee ($90) but gave us $800 of bonus points at signup and long story short the other perks justify the $90. For example, when we use points for flights and hotel, 25% off when redeeming points. Online grocery pickup? 3% back. For everyday purchases, why not get a little rebate? If I have kids someday, I want them to get a CC at 18 and have a holy fear of it: "Don't you dare put anything on this card that you don't have cash for/won't pay in full at the top of next month". I understand Dave Ramsey's take on CC's because many who flock to him have burned themselves with debt in the past. And, he may have a point about "we spend more with credit than if I hand over actual cash bills".There may be some merit to that. But anyways, your take on CC's is not one I hear often enough and fwiw I think you're spot on. Keep up the great channel!

Minimalist attitude helps us to value things,we look at them as priced items and sentiments are attached with them so we tend to take good care of them or handle them carefully.Eventually, they last longer n we feel better not becoz of d price .Thus minimalistic can be a habit forming trait in us which we can carry throughout our lives and in turn also inspire others to do so .

You can make a video where you can explain the bare minimum in exercises, because today we are bombarded by a lot of exercises to improve our health. The idea would be to show some of the main exercises that we can do at home to help our body, posture... Another video option would be about food, examples of some simple dishes that we can make, in order to cover the daily needs of carbohydrates, proteins.... A third video suggestion is, equipment to do sport, simple equipment, sneakers, sports clothes....

Have you ever considered eco minimalism? I started in minimalism but quickly moved to eco since I was already reducing and really conscious of what I need in my life. It moved into a thought process of - well I need this one item (ie. one bottle of laundry detergent)- what’s a maybe more sustainable option for that 1 item I use instead? (A refillable jug of laundry detergent). Why be wasteful with the few things I use. Reducing my own clutter and the clutter I leave on earth at the same time clicked for me. Imagining my 1 plastic bottle of Tide that I toss in the landfills to sit there for 350 years twice a year for the rest of my life really made an impact on me. Imagining my non-minimal mountain of trash I contribute to the earth was not sitting right with my minimalist mentality. Not saying it’s something you should do, just wondering as a minimalist, has that ever crossed your mind? PS - love your channel and work though! 😊
