Even if you are working in a high powered, stressful environment, simple, slow living will always have a place. Thank you, Simone, for our inaugural ghost story.
I love going on walks with you and Molly in the countryside and just listening to all you have to share. Always a joy. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I retired four years ago and I am on a tight budget, have to be frugal. I knew things would be different, and I prepared for it. I don’t mind - it’s a relief! I’m shocked how “conditioned” to buy what I wanted I actually was! How brainwashed I had become to thoughtlessly buy buy buy. But I quit cold turkey! What a relief! Cheers!
Working a job you hate, to buy stuff you don't need, to impress people you don't like. Is madness, but most of the world does it. Control the ego control your life.
Not gonna lie , I got a flash car on pcp but realised when it runs out I’m not doing it again . People look suprised when 2 old hippies get out . We Went the long way home from the recycling centre with cool songs on. I said “some people go to Barbados , we go the long way home from the tip !!!😂but we love it!!!! Peace and love back at ya !!
You just hit the nail on the head with this video. I’m 67 and my husband is almost 66 we retired over 3 years now and love it but we could have done it years before if we weren’t so stupid and got sucked into consumerism especially with cars. The feeling that you need to get a new car every 3 years either on HP or leased I can’t even begin to think about the money we wasted over the years Thankfully we both paid a works pension. A couple of years ago we realised if we wanted to retire before we could get our state pension we would have to prepare. We really cut back on everything our home was paid and we sold our fancy car (lost a fortune on it) and bought a second hand Volvo which we still have. I m grateful that we are both healthy and have been blessed with time to enjoy our retirement. Great insightful video…
I love this video ! Work from home, busy mum of 42. Married with kids. Hectic life. But desperately wanting to 'slow down and breath and enjoy life simply and calmly ' when I can ! I started watching the typical 'slow living' videos and found myself feeling the desire to buy the aesthetic 'cozy', floaty, countryside cottage aesthetic items ! You're so right! Love these videos you do. So relatable ❤
I’m literally listening to this video while I am sitting in the balcony looking around at birds, planes and even insects flying around. I feel like this is resetting my brain.
Thank you for your inspiration of common sense, common good, of having common needs. As I am older, now, I can see now those many early years when I went through those years of wants, as I had money, working still living at home. Young and foolish, spending more than I saved. Now since in my 60s save more than I spend. I am no longer materialistic, I have what I have, furniture second hand or saved from what I bought 30 years ago, clothes on my back I bought over 10 years ago, mend clothing! Trade clothes at giveaway shops. Eat my garden foods for 6 - 8 months. Eat whatever is on sale. Being frugal. Slow living, is slowing down in all sense of manner. Thank you Nigel, peace be with you, love.
@@primalengland Yes, there are. Many of us where it took almost our life time to realize this. I have a son and daughter who now in their midlife are starting to realize, perhaps through my example, or perhaps due to inflation, and economic circumstances have turned out to be more frugal, that I was in my midlife. Neither of them have debt, learned not to live beyond their means. I'm proud of them. Keep inspiring us Nigel, to think. ❤️
Damn, true common sense! I started my simple living in 2000. Since then I have paid off 2 homes and built a nest egg for retirement. I am still paring back and I will be living like a monk in 10 years or so. Currently, I am sat in my study working from home in my dressing gown. Lol.
Great reminders Nigel. I think that having 'things' is having more stuff to take care of and maintain. It is freedom to have less! Thanks so much for narrating my story and with pictures too! It made my day! 😄
I enjoyed your talk 👍. There was a time, when it was possible to make more money, when you worked more. One salary was enough. These times are over. Nowadays people work a lot to just get by and still they can't afford even basic things. Of course, there is another side to this, people have higher standards today and want this and that ( no critiscm), but still people struggle. As already mentioned, money is freedom to choose how, where and with whom we spend our time. Time is equally precious. Consuming though doesn't bring any happiness. Happiness comes from within and not what you have. Love your wisdom. Your videos are top notch 😁
Do you have any advice for someone with chronic illnesses and constant pain that has no choice but to work and is unable to drive or go places on their own? I work from home, only one company 6 years, have worked my way up. It feels so hard to keep going when I have been exhausted and struggling for years. The idea of more (I am only 24) sends me into deep spirals and sadness and I just want to feel peace and better. I don't know how I can keep working until retirement but everything is too expensive. I want slowness but feel I must try to get out of the 9-5 to pursue my art but if everything tires me out, how is that any better? I have tried and tried Thank you sir for you videos, they give me a bit of hope and light
Wise words indeed. I sometimes wonder, did our grandparents have a happier life with less? Staycations, no updating gadgets and household items constantly, less food choices, less eating out, only 4 tv channels … This consumerism starts with kids these days - trainers, phones, elaborate birthday parties and parents feel pressurised to give them what they want and the cycle continues. Start a revolution- simple Less is More living 🤗 Readings of short ghost stories from your local area would be great 👻 Enjoy the sunshine 🌞
I think a lot of us have thought long and hard about that. Our grandparents had a harder life, but they didn’t know that, because they lived what was normal at the time. They didn’t have the consumerism, but the term wasn’t even invented. I think back on my young childhood. It was only 60+ years ago, but it was happy. We didn’t own anything or want anything. We built dens and made catapults. We played in the streets and annoyed the neighbours. We were mischievous but not bad. I think it was better. Harder but better.
Hi Nigel. There is two songs which are my favorites as they take my mind into nature. They are on you tube and very good to listen to. John Denver, the eagle and the hawk and pussywillows and cattails by Kenny Rankin with lyrics. I think you will love them. Let me know what you think
Have you ever noticed when people travel abroad on a holiday which costs a small fortune, they look forward to going home and say they are glad to be home and relax. Go figure
Last time I went abroad was to visit a friend in South Korea. That was years ago. Before that was for work 30 years ago. My luxury is renting a cottage for a couple of days, but I don’t do that very often because Molly can’t settle. I’m happy at home.
Lifestyle creep, its insidious we would all be much better if we were just grateful for what we have, life is so much simpler and peaceful when we are not wanting isn't it
The TH-cam slow living videos I have seen seem very materialistic to me, very spendy indeed. I don't have a TV, car, streaming services or subscriptions, I don't take foreign holidays and rarely have nights out, am I happy? Hell yes! I don't need for anything, I can do more or less as I please, I have no one I have to answer to and certainly no need to 'keep up with the Joneses'. People are too aware of what others think and what society and the media are constantly selling us.
At 44 I find myself buying only the essencial. I used to buy a lot of clothes, not anymore. I think my cats are more expensive than I am 😂. Buying was that dopamine shot, doesn't last long and brings no happiness. Lovely video as always ❤.
Great encouragement, as usual - thank you. These videos are coming at such a perfect time - they really kick me up the behind and get me motivated. We’ve spent the last 18 months coming to terms with losing my lovely mum who lived with us. She was 94, but not anywhere near passing away, or so we thought. We didn’t realise how full on life was until that awful morning when it all came to a screeching halt so unexpectedly. Looking back, it was quite terrifying at the 24/7 care routine suddenly being gone. We went from every single second of the day being taken up, to just sitting here wondering what just happened. The last eight years had been full on with looking after both my parents for much of it. In the midst of it all, my husband retired after working non-stop since age 15. Suddenly, the merry-go-round stopped and flung us off. And despite knowing that day would come, it was still a huge shock. I think there is an art to slow living and you are definitely helping people get to grips with it. Your videos have given me a ‘seize the day’ attitude, even when I feel as if I can’t. I MAKE myself. We are both 68 now and finally learning that this is OUR time to live. Perhaps it’s the working class conditioning that makes it difficult to embrace freedom - who knows? The middle and upper classes don’t seem to have a problem with it. Anyway, thank you for encouraging us all to embrace a simpler, slower life. This is the most content I have felt in 18 months. I love reading all the comments too - it’s good to know there are lots of us relating to your videos.
I’m glad our videos give you some enjoyment. My mum is 96 and fit, but failing physically. I’m the only family left round here, so I look after her. It’s hard work, but I’m happy to put the work in. Time is like a big black hole, but I’m sure you’ll find the perfect ways to fill it.
@@primalengland oh lovely! You are one of the lucky ones who gets to look after the one who looked after you. Yes, very very hard work but you’ll have no regrets later on. Enjoy your time with your mum.
"Bake cinnamon rolls whilst running through the fields in a flouncy dress and simultaneously sipping up herbal tea" 😂well said, made me chuckle! And so true - slow living is about what is in your head no matter where you are and who you are. Greetings from stressed out corporate worker with 17-year-old Fiat Panda 🚙
Retired please myself with each day always got something going too amuse the senses. Good too see the weather god's are being kind to the prisoners of mother England folk today.
Where we are in Sweden, seems like everyone is in a rush, even pensioners jog along with their Nike trainers, tracksuits on being propped up by their Zimmer frames or dressed like a rider in the Tour de France , people rushing about and seemingly achieving nothing, pensioners rushing about in the supermarkets, its like it was wired into them at birth that they MUST rush.. don't stop, never rest, be productive for society... Feels like we are the only ones taking it easy.. AND ... we are resented for it....
You just painted a picture of Swedish older people that may be forever imprinted on my memory. I actually do think we are hard-wired by society to strive to be productive for ‘the group.’ I think it an be difficult for some people to let go of that consumer mindset. It’s worth it when you do, though. I’m happy and at peace, and I’m so far down the road that I don’t think anything could disrupt it.
Loved that post Nigel, thank you, my realisation of the pleasures of paring back and enjoying quiet and solitude came about during the pandemic. I worked in social care which was a very scary place to be at that time and I really wished that I had a different job and could hide away, I think I was the only person on our estate going out to work every day 🥰
It's like the Lyle's Golden Syrup tin. 'Out of the strong came forth sweetness.' Out of a stressful situation came forth the realisation that there is more to life than what we own. 😊
In another video you say you gave up so many material things. Well i too did that and yes, it is so freeing. I have also learned not to shop for much at all these days and im so happy
I've got to put this on again when hubby's in ear shot, I keep saying it's time to retire 🤦♀️ but money is his king and I think he's scared to pack up. He will be the richest man in the cemetery 😂🤷♀️
Said in jest, but so true. Take it from me, retirement can be fabulous. I’m typing this at 7am, sitting, overlooking a reservoir with no work to think about, just…. It’s a beautiful day, what shall we do. 😊
@@primalengland it's gey covered skies here and chilly, but supposed to be warm mmmm not sure if that's with sun! I've got accounts to do🙄 so might go for a walk this afternoon. Can you fish in the reservoir!
@@ASmileAdayful I think you can , but I never see people fishing here. This is part of a string of three reservoirs, each divided by a road. There is plentiful fishing on the other two. I think it’s just an accessibility issue.
My first ghostly experience was at a friend's house - a Victorian house on three floors- when I was about 18 years old. I'd gone to the bathroom and while I was washing my hands, I glanced into the mirror. Behind me, in the doorway, stood an old lady. We smiled at each other in the mirror but when I turned round, she'd gone. When I went downstairs, I told Alistair. 'That's Grandma', he replied. I said that I hadn't realised she lived with them. 'She doesn't any more. She died when I was little'. My last ghost was in a bookshop in a cathedral town. Again, an old building. I was alone on the second floor and turned to see a man in a long coat walk across the room and straight through a door in the wall. I asked the staff about it and they just smiled and said 'You're not the first'. How can we explain these things?
Great story. You should write it down and send it, so we can all share it. 👻 no pressure if you do …. nigelboydell@gmail.com. I’m reading another subscriber’s tale at the end of my next video. 😊
I don’t have debt or credit cards , if I can’t afford it I don’t buy it or I save up for it , I have cut back because of the cost of living and life is hard , great video Xx
I’m the same, Linda. I had a credit card when I had my business, but haven’t had one for 17 years. If I want something, I save up. It’s the best policy. 😊
Possibly your most important video to date. You're so right. We've had consumerism drilled into us from birth and escaping it is so difficult but so important on the path to finding inner peace. Thank you. 🙏
I love going on walks with you and Molly in the countryside and just listening to all you have to share. Always a joy. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful comment. ❤️
Yip I so agree ❤

It is hard. I only have a very small private pension. I have no spending power, but I’m happy. Retirement is great, but can take some planning. 😊
Working a job you hate, to buy stuff you don't need, to impress people you don't like. Is madness, but most of the world does it. Control the ego control your life.
And everyone is aware they are doing it.
My dad used to say, "why do they tell us they have the best product but yet always seem to improve it?" 🙂
Not gonna lie , I got a flash car on pcp but realised when it runs out I’m not doing it again . People look suprised when 2 old hippies get out .
We Went the long way home from the recycling centre with cool songs on. I said “some people go to Barbados , we go the long way home from the tip !!!😂but we love it!!!!
Peace and love back at ya !!
From one old hippy to another. You keep taking ‘the long way home.’ Supertamp reference. 🎶 😊
Sound advice for anyone looking for answers. The importance of pulling back away from this absurd world is more apparent than ever.
And it isn’t going to get better anytime soon. The world is geared to take our money.

What you achieved is what a lot of people aspire to, but can’t get out of the consumerism loop. We’ll done. I hope you have a happy retirement. 😊
I bet you watch Geoff buys cars😂 big volvo man👍
We haven’t but will now 😉

I'm happy to just watch nature in my backyard. I'm on a disability pension, and walking is hard.
We can watch and appreciate nature wherever we are. I only have a backyard. In summer it is alive with the sounds of insects. I love it.
I’m literally listening to this video while I am sitting in the balcony looking around at birds, planes and even insects flying around. I feel like this is resetting my brain.
I love that because, as I read it I was transported there. 😊
Agree. It is easier to choose to live a simple life than to be forced to by life's circumstances.
Especially in a world that’s programmed to take our money.

Great story. You should write it down and send it, so we can all share it. 👻 no pressure if you do …. nigelboydell@gmail.com.
I’m reading another subscriber’s tale at the end of my next video. 😊
Those are demons. Don't engage.
No it doesn't..because we are all going the same way...ascending..
I don’t have debt or credit cards , if I can’t afford it I don’t buy it or I save up for it , I have cut back because of the cost of living and life is hard , great video Xx
I’m the same, Linda. I had a credit card when I had my business, but haven’t had one for 17 years. If I want something, I save up. It’s the best policy. 😊
Money is like your winter wood supply. If you keep burning alot of pieces in your wood stove and dont cut some more, you will run out.
This man talks a lot of sense...
New Sub here... England is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you for the sub. 😊
Possibly your most important video to date. You're so right. We've had consumerism drilled into us from birth and escaping it is so difficult but so important on the path to finding inner peace. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you so much. 😊
😁 good morning everyone. Thank you for a lovely walk and talk .❤
Good morning. I hope the day is good to you, whatever day it is. ….. retirement does that to you. 😊
