It is not about enjoying vs not enjoying life, it is about avoiding waste and avoiding unnecessary clutter which brings stress. If one buys lots of stuff that are useful and bring joy to them, then that is great. But most of us buy unnecessary things that we dont need which fill up our homes and become clutter and having to manage all that becomes stressful.

I adopted minimalism about 5 years ago but STILL find myself tempted at times. Just got a notice that my favorite clothing company has a trench coat on offer. My friends think I am completely nuts having a closet with "just" the right amount of clothing and nothing more. That said, I almost allowed myself to buy that trench-coat--which I do not need. Living in a consumer society this is an uphill battle all the way. I am completely debt free and feel so much lighter these days but there are still times where the urge to spend frivolously tries to catch up with me. Thanks for your programs.

It brings me joy to cook for myself and others as well as being healthy, and saves money (don't eat out much). Balance is the key. Enjoyed your video;).

Being home all day I realized I didn't need so much furniture, so I sold a few items. Here is the best part. For over 25 years I have had a holiday account at my bank. I have a certain amount of money deposited into the account each month. This past year I saved $7000! I look forward to your future videos.

The thing with the phone is so me. After a year of problems with mine I finally switched. The rest I want to work on, and also that I buy to much of what I like in periods. Don't want to have a really minimal home, but airy with some empty spaces. It's a progress and we came a long way by going through the things twice the last couple of years. So I really like our home now. But I really struggle with photos. Have a lot and don't want to dive in it again. I never sorted them all through before. I don't want to leave it like it is, so I guess I must. Every round we sorted more things out. I have very severe fatigue because of MS, pain and burn out. That makes it so hard these days to just take some desicions. We keep a donate bag in the hallway and put things in it when we come across somethig we don't want or use. Things I love, but don't actually use, are the hardest except from photos. I still have to much of those clothes and stuff. I wish I could do it faster this round but it's not possible. A more airy house makes everything more easy. But a real minimalist is not me. I would say my son is. He travels abroad many times in a years and does not like things at all. I doubt he even buy clothes. He just wears what I give him for birthdays and Christmas. Thank you for a nice channel. I have problems watching tv because of my brain tiredness, but Youtbe has short videos and I can lower the speed of it if the person speaks to fast. I am much inspired by your channel. Really nice and I love the calm and slow tempo in your videos. Thanks a lot! ❤️ / Stina

Speaking of cars. This is one my proudest endeavors of my life. Although it didn’t start out that way. In 1998, my husband and I were trading in my Toyota Camry that he bought me when we got married. It was a lease and it the 3 year trade/keep point. We upgraded to a brand new loaded Toyota 4-Runner. The minute we pulled off the lot I had a sinking feeling in my gut that we had made a mistake. Payments were $435 in 1998. Insurance was high and so were property taxes. But we stuck it out. A few years later we refinanced our home and paid off the 4 Runner. I’m proud to say I’m still driving it to this day. 243,000 miles. Insurance is cheap, and property taxes are $68/year and dropping. We maintain it by repairing ANYTHING that goes wrong which is waaaay cheaper than buying a new car. At this point it’s almost like an appendage. I would be so lost without it.

Thank you for a great video. I've been practicing what you're talking about here and I had a small professional organizing business for awhile. My vehicle is almost 19 years old and works fine so it doesn't need replacing and I bought it used as well. The only specialty appliance I have is my bread maker but that's because I stopped buying store bread years ago and I find with the ingredients bought in bulk, one loaf of bread costs about .60 cents. So I use the bread maker a lot. I have one purse that's about 5 years old and about 3 pairs of shoes as well as my winter boots, all well over 4 years old. I make my own beanies and scarves that match my two winter coats and I sew my own clothes. I recently bought a new phone after the old one died after 7 years. I love saving money and having a savings account. On my downsizing page I try to get people to NOT buy like crazy for any holiday, but to start making their gifts for the following holidays at the beginning of the year. With having KZitem, a person can learn to knit, crochet, sewing etc. There are so many ways to save money. I cringe when I see what some people buy.

I just watched this video. This very enlightening and insightful. It makes me really think/reflect that living a simple life brings less stress life. Less is more.❤ I love your videos. Watching from Geemany.

Great video - learning fast from you and regretting my mistakes. Lately I have stopped watching beauty/skin care videos and fashion influencers, I was spending loads on useless stuff. Also stuff like silk pillowcases, etc. All these add up. Now I dd intermittent fasting to lose weight with great success. I wasted money on slimming clubs, joined an rejoined over the years. Thank you I have subscribed

New subscriber here ! I am not at all a minimalist when it comes to clothes and shoes. I am in other aspects. I want to tell you I enjoyed your non judgemental attitude very much . Not preachy just helpful :)

This was a beautiful and inspiring video! Thank you so much. BTW, I love your boots. This is where quality matters. I buy only quality shoes in a quest to appease my cranky feet, and it works. You can own shoes and good pocketbooks forever if you care for them!

Just discovered you Connie. I am a minimalist but mainly in thoughts because sometimes I still get sucked in. I am striving to be like you. What do you say when people call you "stingy" or "cheap"? Thanks for your awesome video. I will keep looking out for your videos. THANKS A MILLION!!

Hi Maria! Great question. When anyone questions my spending choices I say, "We each choose to spend money on the things that mean something to us. Each of us have varied interests."" Money is very personal. Thanks for watching and sharing your input.
