We are floor livers my side! We kept shedding furniture and suddenly I ended up furniture free and me hubby ended up with all of 1 table as his! So funny! But it's lovely! We're in your age range and lemme tell you being spry and lively is worth it ten billion times over!! Thanks for the video!!!

I am a new sub. Your videos always leave me smiling. You not only give helpful tips and food for thought but you both seem to be lovely people who are filled with joy and kindness. So glad to have found your channel

We have moved about a dozen times. Back and forth between the US and Canada. I would like to move one more time before we retire but then stay put. My friend just retired to Spain and that seems exotic but now we are also hearing about the real life challenges of moving to a brand new country.

I moved a lote since i was a child. My parental wanted a better future for me and my sister , so they tried to find the perfect place . But as you said, it can definitely come from our unhappiness more that from our extern environment. Since I left the parents house, I moved 8 times in 14 years. That's really a lot. And it is actually a horror life with our actual neighbours and I am fighting with myself to solve that situation, to live with it, because my kids want to feel secure and have a stable place to live. I can't afford another place, everything is soon expensive now here, that I consider myself lucky for my place. Anyways. Everytime I think I will stay longer on the new place and after max 3 years, something happens that makes me change the whole perspective..... I am working on that and also on the actual nightmare with my neighbours...

Hi ladies! Crazily (for me), I have stayed put for the past 9 years(mainly because my daughter was small), however, lately for a number of different reasons, plus adding that my daughter is older, I’m starting to have the itch to move. I’m very close to work burn out and other reasons that are making think that I should take a suitcase and leave, at least for a few months haha!

So much "food for thought". Thank you. I'm dealing with preparing for my next move. 🙏👍😎🇨🇦🐾

You are two generous souls - answering such personal inquiries. Per relationships - marriage, in particular - there is a saying here in Greece : “The first 100 years are the most difficult.” 😂😂🤣😂😅. My husband and I have been together since 1988. We have a few more years of “difficulty” to go 😄😄. Here’s to “Minimizing” relationship difficulties- HUMOR goes a long way 😉. -V

I think moving 45 times is a testament of your commitment to each other. That's a lot of testing right there in those boxes.

How do you shop for kitty miles . I would like know as i has have dogs and wondered if there is a possibility of shopping zero waste for pets also

I moved after a lot of thought about what I would need as I got older - shops within walking/ cheap taxi distance + good bus routes for when I stop driving + small courtyard garden. Then, on the emotional side, I needed to be near the sea and where there were yoga classes. But all things change, for now I am so gratefull to be blessed by where I have chosen to live. The lesson - think before you act + reduce your amount of stuff - NOW!

Yes I love the ladycave idea

I recognize that happiness or unhappiness follows us wherever we go; change myself first before moving (if I decide to move) is the best position. Also understanding that I have changed and can never return to the same state of consciousness of my youth or even in my 40s or 50s. First learn to live with myself, and then I can choose to explore to be the guide for my own development wherever that takes me.

I’ve moved 10 times in 12 years. I’ve learned moving doesn’t fix our problems. It usually creates more. We bought this condo in February 2023. I claim this place as our last move here in Delaware. But I do plan to move to Florida one day. My mom has Alzheimer’s and as hard as it is for me to stay put I know I can’t move again until she passes. I don’t enjoy the moving process but I’m always excited for a new place and new adventures. Buying and selling homes in short periods of time is very costly. I love condo life except for the neighbors below us. He is abusive to his wife and we can hear the fighting through the floor. Because of this I would like to move again. With every move I take less stuff. One day I want to be able to move with only what will fit in my car. I always admire people that can stay put in one place.

The garden for Miles is wonderful of you! My Magic Mind was received from Denver to me in the Midwest, US. I’m on my second day. I’m drinking less coffee by a small amount at this point. I’m familiar with some of the ingredients. I have a small apartment that I enjoy, but eventually I’ll need to move, so I appreciate your story!🌱🌹

If I remembered correctly, I moved 19 times during my 18 year marriage. Then another 6 moves post-divorce. I've lived in 5 states, but nothing international. That must be on another level!! Most of mine were financially based and the last one (5 years ago) was for a wheelchair accessible apartment. I hope to be DONE moving! :)

❤🙏

Your sweet kitty! ❤ I’ve only moved a few times although a couple were international moves. I always imagine I can be a different/better person in a new place 😆 but learning to make the best of where I am since it meets my needs very well.

I love these chats sooo much!

No place is perfect

Lynn here we moved 29 times in 56 years. All kinds of reasons. Anyway I think this is it our retired apt. 😉

I moved 7 times in about 12 years. 5 times because of loud annoying neighbors. That was a tough time to move out from your parents and learn to stand on your own feet. But I learned that a home isn't the apartment itself it's you that makes these walls to your home and you can take that wherever you want. And I learned from the dirty divorce story of my parents that you can lose your home which you thought you will live there till dead every time. Never bond with a house too much.

I moved 15 times in 30 years. (Next move is next summer...) And it feels like getting more exhausting with every year...

Identifying priorities helps to keep us focused on the important things.

I've moved 5 times in 40 years. The gold nugget that you shared that is so true is if you're not happy, moving won't cure that.

You two are such lovely people. I want to be Miles!

Nice video! I moved 5 times in 17 years and each time because of noisy neighbors. I have been living here since July and so far this is a quiet house with quiet neighbors. It is not nice to have to move all the time to find peace.

Doing a video on becoming extreme minimalist would be wonderful

In the winter I walk at our local hockey arena which has a walking pad on the top level. Or at the mall. Which isn’t ideal but there are usually other people also there before it opens so kind of social. There are even mom and stroller exercisers at our mall who get together and walk and do leg lifts etc with their babies. So good for them! I would like to see more of the nature around where you live please!

Hi both, myself and my hubby are car free, neither of us can drive so car free has always been the case for us! We live in the uk. I cycle to work in all weathers which only takes me about 20 minutes.I walk into town if I need dentist, haircut or doctors, as it's only a few miles. We have our grocery shop delivered. and I use a bus or taxi if need to go further.It's only difficult in an emergency, if I need to get to hospital to visit loved ones or get furbabies to the vets. 😊

🌿 UPDATE: Many of you asked about our transition to car-free living! We'd love to hear YOUR story: - Are you car-free or considering it? - What would/does freedom from fuel costs mean for you? - What's your biggest win or biggest concern about living car-free? There's no perfect way to live sustainably - we're all learning together! Share your thoughts below. 👇 💚 Want more simple living tips? Hit subscribe and the notification bell!

☕ Thanks for joining our coffee chat! We covered quite a range of topics today - which resonated with you most? 💭 Share your thoughts: Have you ever lived somewhere completely different? What surprised you most? What's your favorite way to stay active when you're not feeling motivated? 😅

I love your coffee chats. So funny about your hair, Ang. Mine is 100% like yours. I even wear mine like yours, haha. I have to tell my stylist, " Get mean with it! ", because if she doesn't thin it out enough with a razor, I'm back again in 3 weeks! I have a question for your next coffee chat, or it could be good fodder for a video. When I watch your videos or see pictures of South Africa, I see barbed wire, high fences, and everyone seems to have a garage to lock their car in. How do you feel/keep safe as you grow older? And also as a woman (I know, sounds sexist)?

Thanks so much for answering my question! I will look into ideas for doing walking-like things at home. I did get a pair of bright pink puddle stompers to make the wet walks a bit more pleasant. 😄

I’ve never owned a car. Actually I don’t know how to drive (or even ride a bicycle!). I’m 41, lived in different cities and countries and I have always relied on public transportation…..

Loved the coffee chat in your cozy environment! I think how to become extreme minimalist would be an interesting idea 🌹

I do not have a car i take the bus or walke

Thanks again for a lovely Coffee Chat. And thanks for the info re Keoni - I like indoor walking workouts because I can do them without having to travel to a gym, which is rather far from my house and I have no excuse to not do them.

Thank you so much for sharing these personal stories, this was such an impactful video about the heart of your minimalism journey. Very sorry about the loss of your brother and parents. ❤

I think I just need to buy a warmer coat and some lined pants so that I can go out and walk when it is very cold. I would be interested in the step channel that you mentioned as well. Take care.

Hi from Munich, Germany, love your channel and your coffee chats. Great content 👏!

Do you own your home ? Great video as always .Lynn
