Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
Yes please 🙌🏽
Definitely!
Yes please! 🙌
Yes please! My husband and I used Dave Ramsey and finally became debt free four years ago. I love learning how others manage their finances. It’s a huge game changer in living a less stressful existence.
Please! Love your channel ❤️
The borrower is slave to the lender. Love it.
This resonates with me. I’m on a journey to living a more intentional and slow paced life. I tried minimalism but I found myself too caught up in the “aesthetics” of minimalism and obsessed with “quality over quantity” to the point of getting rid of perfectly good and usable items just to buy better quality.
There is nothing wrong with wanting either of these but for my own personal experience it ended up costing me more than freeing me from my possessions. And I realized that while I do like owning a little less, I don’t like blank walls and empty spaces.
Wow, Liz.... that was me too a year ago...💝
I also went the college route to “please” my parents. If I were to go back I’m not sure I would have taken the same path. However, I did meet my husband at college so it worked out in other ways. As always, thank you so much!
Love this.
I live in TX we just sold our v large home, downsized about 60% of our life. Sold our extra car, and I quit a very toxic job bc now we have no debt.
Learning more and more slow/minimalist and I love this channel to help with ideas and guidance.
Thank you!
That is amazing good for you
I just want to say THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE’s JOURNEY!!! Especially putting God into it every now and then. You are very inspiring to me in every way, from parenting to minimalism to saving money to being a Christian and sharing it all and how you do it. I found you by wanting to learn about decluttering but the way you live your life is a great example to follow. Thank you and blessings to you and your family ❤
PREEEAAACCCHHH!!! As someone much further along on the journey, and as someone who lives overseas following our calling, I can only scream yes and amen!! Well done Madi! :)
I am 47 years old with three kids (youngest is 14mo.) and your videos and your truth are changing my life. Thank you.
This is so sweet Kendra ❤️ thank you
The ONLY minimalist finances video I've ever liked (and didn't bore me to tears). 😄 thank you for such a beautiful, refreshing channel. 🤗💓
Thank you Susan!!
@madisungray I think it is a beautiful thing you had this "who's life am I living" moment at your gorgeous young age. I have had that question on and off for a long time and now I am actually listening to it. Your videos and book recommendations are a big help.
Yes! I love all of this! Just found your channel and am obsessed!! I love the idea of small home living with a family, our family home is 1600 sq ft and while not large i often hate all the space! The only thing that ever keeps me from selling it is it’s on our dream property (40 acres secluded with a private lake and lots of woods for my little boys to roam in) and the fact it is a super cheap mortgage (600/month) bc we bought it in condemned condition and spent 10 years fixing it up and cash flowing all the updates. But I often tell my husband I would love to just have us live in a tiny home on the property since I would have less space to clean 😅 normally he and everyone I tell look at me strange for saying that. But truly I want to be burdened by so much less and I don’t want to keep up with the joneses in our neighborhood as their houses seem to get larger by the day! Seems like such a nightmare for me. Thank you for being a peaceful, calming and inspiring life. Your presence definitely helps my days that are filled with overwhelm.
Thanks for your support!
Learn to love your space 😊 If it's not filled with too much stuff, empty spaces in a house can be great. Kids can run and jump and do cartwheels if there's lots of floor space.
You have the land to enjoy, and you have lots of indoor space too! Lucky you! 😄😄👍
I don't know what it is with your videos, dear Madisun, but I always feel them so close to me and my current season... my husband losing his job and me trying to work all day long in the meantime, trying to take care of our kids... I felt so miserable...I was never present...
I didn't have the courage to follow our dreams as a family...
Now that I just had our newborn baby, and I can't work, I realized how little we need... food and bills... nothing else!!! The rest is esthetic!
So much truth in your words!
Thank you Madisun! I'm following my dreams with my little channel while I get to be home with my babies!
Thank you for all of the encouragement we can all find here!💝
Thank you love! So so encouraged that this is resonating with someone! Maybe you're the reason I started! ❤️ And keep up the beautiful work on your channel, I know how hard it is to start and keep up videos, SO MUCH WORK... it looks so easy but with littles around it's so hard, but your videos are so good. Keep it up. 🌿 All the best.
@@MadisunGray I'm just crying.... thank you so much, Madisun.... from the bottom of my heart.... I'm so humbled by your response.... its been tough, tough.... God bless you!
Good for you!
I’m amazed at how young you are and yet have so much wisdom!!
Thank you so much!
I just love your channel. I love how real you are and it's not all about the "minimalism aesthetic". Your words are real, your voice is real, I just really enjoy your videos and your outlook on life. Thank you for being you and for sharing your journey in an honest, relatable way
So glad! Thank you! 🤍
Thanks!
Thanks Carrie!
thank you for your inspiration, message, and testimony. you speak from heart, we can feel it and it gives me emotion. I dream to be more free of all too :) i started by quitting a job I could no more stand and live quite frugal and minimal in general. so I could do that step, and your testimony is an inspiration to keep going, thank you 🙏🌟😘✨ love from France 🌎😘💕
Love it Magun. May God keep blessing you and your family. I'm in a battle with myself to see what I'm going to do at 61 yr old. I'm decluterring and praying a lot to JesusChrist to make a decision to all the things in my life. God bless
@@yolandacotto2437 🙏🌟💫💚love and divine guidance for your path is and will be, love from France, courage 😘
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your video! I can identify with so much of what you have stated.....and wanted to do with my life! I found myself loving my work, but hating my job (sounds contradictory, but is really the result of doing stuff contrary to your inner being way too long. Anyway, keep going! You're on the right path....so glad you are young enough to enjoy the benefits of your decision.....I will be 80 in a few months and have to get rid of all the "stuff" I though I needed but didn't need me!
Love this Carolee! Thank you so much for leaving this comment, it means so much to me. Hey and Happy Early Birthday!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Maddie! I just recently found your channel and I love your cozy videos. They bring me a lot of joy! All the best to your family!! 🌼💛 I'm a minimalist from Finland, living in the country side with my American husband and two dogs, where we enjoy similar slow living. 🌿
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I’m so glad these videos resonate with you ❤️

Hi Madison! I was wondering what steps you take to homeschool your kiddos? Are there things that you legally have to do, etc.
Found your channel just a few days ago and I love it so much. Thank you for everything 💕
Thanks for watching Madison! I’m sure there is but I haven’t made it that far yet, my kids are still younger than Kindergarten.

Thank you Lauren!
I love this and I am all on board but my husband not so much. I don't know how to get him to see and slow down. we are military and hes stressed most of the time so yeah and not to much I can do about the job.
Your videos add so much value to the world!!
Becca! Thanks for watching them!
This hit me just right on the day I needed to hear it. Thank you!
I’m so glad Amy! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I needed to hear what you said in this video. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos and share your passion
Thank you for your support! 🤍
Love. Love. Love. I love all your videos but this one was extra awesome:)
What carrier do you use for your son when you go hiking?
Love your channel, and I like that you are so grounded 🥰 i feel inspired whatching you, my kids are small as well (2/6 yrs) and it feels so good to see their creativity develop more and more through having less stuff.
They always do better with less toys! Thanks for your support! 🤍
I loved this video! Very inspiring & motivational!
This is so good! Would love to see a video of all your book recommendations!
Thank you Renea! That's a great idea.
This is such a good message to spread!
❤️❤️❤️
Love this soooo much! 🫶🏼
We’re selling our 4 bed 1.5 bath home to move to a new state and a 2 bed 1 bath. We’re a family of 4 and I’m so excited to have less to clean and keep up with . We have 2 living rooms here and I felt so much pressure to fill it up. With our home sale we are going to pay off consumer debt. My husbands last day of a mentally and physically draining job is today and he’s so excited to work somewhere that he can be passionate in.
Good luck with the move! 🤍
Love your videos, but I get wigged out hearing your littles calling out to you in the background because I always think it's my littles calling me haha
Maybe don’t cut up ALL your credit cards like we did. 🤪 We went to rent a car last weekend for a trip and we couldn’t because we don’t own a credit card now lol. Oops! But it really is such a rewarding feeling not having debt and actually buying what you can afford. So taboo these days. Even if that means managing to make one car work for awhile until you can buy another. The lightness of knowing you can make do with only what you NEED, pretty amazing. Love your videos, keep them up 😍
We paid off all our debt in 2021 but have yet to cut up our cards. It is something we’ve been considering - opting out of the credit score system. Have you found it hard to rent with no credit cards and/or debt?
No not at all. We usually are up front with the landlord about not having a credit score and instead of a high credit score we can offer them copies of our bank statements, etc to prove ability to make the payments.
Well, you need first to have 100.000 dollars so you can save it. Where I live the University is free, and it is not only a question to getting a job or something like that. It is culture, investigation, community life and debate. It is a place to do a lot of different things, for me basic to maintain a healthy society. I dont have credit card and I know a lot of people that doesnt have. For me only was a thing that you have when you need it. And too it is a privilege that not everybody can have. Still I dont know anybody with 100.000 dollars, 🤣
We don’t even have anywhere close to $100k coming in each year. Not even half of that tbh. These kind of videos are inspirational but frustrating at the same time.
Love your videos ❤️
Thank you Sophie!
Curious about your baby carrier. What kind is it?
I’ve tried a couple but my favorite is the Ergobaby! amzn.to/3dPXj3E
Thank you!!
Great video
Thank you Laura!
VOLVO!
I actually was telling Julia about Volvo a couple weeks ago
Also RIP to the maroon thing the tree fell on 🫡

@@WasABug lol the best car! I loved that car. Except for the times the windows wouldn't work since it didn't have AC. 😂😂😂 I'd open up the driver side door at red lights. OTHER THAN THAT THO
It kills me to see you stand in your raised beds 🤣💀. You want the soil to stay aerated and not packed down. Try to avoid it as best as ya can! Source: i did a year long farming apprenticeship between college and my career
