I'm living a frugal minimalist lifestyle and in this video I'm sharing how I budget. Living a minimalist lifestyle can save you a lot of money and is often better for the environment jeey!
I do believe in the law of attraction to some degree. I think it's important to send out good energy in term of finances, but also start acting in a way that creates abundance.
I recommend looking at you budget every 6 to 12 months to really keep on top of it and evaluate if everything still works/is on track.
Monthly bills are a big part of most people's spendings. Things like mortgage, rent, insurance, etc.
If you're able to cut back on those bills I would highly recommend doing so.
With everything I buy I ask myself one key question: "Do I need this?".
Asking myself this question over and over literally changed my spending habits!
It is such an important question because there's a big difference between needing something and wanting something.
You will be surprised how much money you can save if you don't buy what you don't need.
I also really recommend applying automatic savings. This helps you build and maintain an emergency fund for a rainy day. If you have big goals for your savings, you can of course aim for higher saving numbers.
And last but not least I always have a minimum amount of money in my bank account. Just for peace of mind. At the end of the month I put the remaining amount in my savings account or I replenish my minimum.
I hope you enjoyed the video and it gave you confidence to take your own finances under the loop.
Lots of love,
Delala

I found for myself- that when I sense Peace- I know, that for me Iam in a good a place with my own self awareness and surroundings.
You have a very relaxing voice and I love your home and garden. That "fantasy self" you mentioned used to be my downfall and I had spent A LOT of money on expensive items that sat in my closet unused and had to be sold at a considerable loss. Lesson learned.
Glad you started your frugal journey at a young age. As a young newly wed in the early 1970’s I had to be frugal because (thankfully) credit was not easily available and we both had low paying jobs because of our age. As our income grow we increased our spending a I now know this was a big mistake. In my 40’s I had my light bulb moment and realised we needed to stop spending. This was something my husband and I had different ideas about. I decided to quietly get on the frugal road. We had variable incomes so I used that to my advantage I began to save any additional money I earned or saved by hunting out a bargain. My husband was self employed so his income was very variable. I began to notice when he had a low income he never asked me if I had enough to pay for everything he just let me get on with it. I used this as my chance to point out to him that we couldn’t afford this or that because of his reduced income that month. In time a built up an emergency fund and then started to build savings.
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. My husband and I have been living similar to you for 23 years now. It required us to work very hard for quite a few years and also make sacrifices that most people, in our society, would never be willing to do. However, it has definitely been worth it. Have a lovely day, Delala! =)
Hi TJ 👋🏻😊
That’s amazing! Those “sacrifices” are so worth it! 🙌🏻
Thank you for the continuous love and support 🥰❤️
Wishing you beautiful day too! 😽
Wow, that's a fancy kitchen.
Haha thank you!! 😁 I absolutely love cooking and backing in it!!
Looks like an easy lifestyle. Yummy fruits too.
Thank you! 😊
It is really crucial to be frugal in the life. Moreover, we must definitely know what is required, what is necessary for us. I am also a frugal individual concerning this affair. If any item is basically required, it will be bought by the financial potential in accordance with the benefits. The equipoise of the budget utterly gains a huge importance for us all. I always appreciate your this approach regarding this issue. Particularly, the theme that you select commonly broaden my horizon and captivating my attention. I am thankful for sharing such a wholesome video. Cheers from humid Turkey🌞!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😊❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!! Have a great day! 😁
Lovely video.
Seneca said “It is a great man that can treat his earthenware as if it was silver, and a man who treats his silver as if it was earthenware is no less great.”
Cost per wear advice is great. Easier for us men. But I have a calf leather pair of shoes made in Northamptonshire. Always resoled. Over 15 years. Cost a fortune initially but cost per wear much less than fast fashion …
(As a minimalist I only have four pairs of shoes now - two smart, one pair of walking shoes and a pair of running shoes.)
I can imagine those shoes being super comfy! Sounds like a great investment!
And way more sustainable 🙌🏻🌿
Have a lovely day! 😊❤️
I loved this video. Living as a minimalist and being frugal myself has given me more peacefulness and gratefulness for what i have in my life. Its a freedom to choose to be happy , content and to take control of your own well being.
That’s amazing! I love that we feel the same way! 😁 Thank you so much for the love 🥰❤️

I am glad I watched this TH-cam video. Being frugal is a good choice. I used to spend every penny I earned but I'm trying to save more. I want to save to buy my first used vehicle. I am a forty-one year old woman who tries to pay my own bills. I am trying to take ownership of my life. I want to budget for a used vehicle. I can't go over $15,000 at the most for a used vehicle. I do have a probationary license. I drive this Saturday for an hour.
That’s amazing! Good luck with saving! You for this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
I’m so glad the video was helpful ❤️🙏🏻
@@Delala Oh the video was great. It is smart to save and be more frugal. I need to do the same if I am going to get my first vehicle by September. I hope I can budget $15,000 or less for my first vehicle.
Thank you! This has been really helpful and I appreciate it ☺️
Thank you so much! 🤗❤️
I love your profile picture with your cat, so cute! 🥰🐈⬛
Just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your videos. I love the thoughtful and artful approach you take with everything you do. Hope you get lots of subscribers, your content is lovely and relaxing, please keep it up ❤🌻🦋
Thank you so much Michelle!! ❤️ That’s super sweet! It really means a lot! 😃🥰
Much love to you!! 😘
I love your video, it is so calming. You have such wise words too. That jam looks amazing, it’s been a long time since I made jam.
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰 I’m happy you enjoyed the video!
It was the first time I made red currant jam, it turned out really well! 🤗
Sadly i cannot move because my work is in the big city and I'm not a driver .(My biggest fear is driving car)But my dream is to have a social housing so the rent be cheaper, and i can focus on saving more .Right now i live with relatives and i still pay 550 euro rent for a small room 3 x 4 meters. I have no choice because of how expensive the housing is in the Netherlands 😅
Love your lifestyle 🥰 Just interested how many hours you work each week? I've gone down to working a 7 day fortnight since living a frugal/minimalist life. Best thing I ever did!
Hi Kate! Thank you so much! 🥰
It depends on if you count making TH-cam videos as working…
I work 16 hours (2 days) a week as a nanny, which I’m very happy with for now. But in combination with TH-cam I work 40-45 hours a week. Which is a bit more than I would like. I’m trying to find a good balance with it and dream of one day being able to live from my channel. So hopefully by that time my hours go down to 30 hours or something. But YT is also my hobby at the same time, I do love making videos so it’s a fun time 😊
Amazing. Alot more enjoyable than working a job you dislike. I am positive one day you will only need to be doing the YT. Thanks again for the great content you put out!
@@katehavers7382 thank you for the love!! ❤️I’m so glad you found the joy of working less as well! 😁🙌🏻
i like this video very mutch! 💐🌺🐞🌸🌻🌴
Thank you Lu Lu!
The flowers are very cute! 🥰❤️
Really enjoyed your video ❤
Thank you! I’m so glad 😃
Much love to you ❤️
Hey there, really enjoyed the video - would love to get these as audio only, are you on audea?
Hi thank you so much! 🤗❤️ the music in this video is all from the TH-cam audio library. You can find which songs I used in the description. You can download them in TH-cam studio for free 😇 I’m not on audea
Thank you I like it
Thank you!! 😊❤️
Your home is my dream home but an impossible dream here in the UK for modest earners. Are property prices terrible where you are? Do you rent or did you buy?
We bought the home before prices went crazy, we were really lucky and never thought we would be able to live in our dream home!
What kind of jam is that? Will you post the recipe, please?
It is redcurrant jam 😊
I added the recipe to the discriptionbox including measurements for different fruits. ❤️
💖💖💖
❤️ Hi Milda, thank you for watching! ❤️😊
Zo gezellig samen met je hond 🤎
Jaaaaa!!! Rambo is zo’n schatje 🥰 🐶
What is the cleaning solution being used on stove?
It’s a natural biodegradable one from SophieGreen (a Dutch brand I believe). It’s one of those low waste powders which you mix with water in a reusable bottle 😇 It works absolutely amazing for cleaning the kitchen!
I have the bathroom version as well 😁
Do you own your home ?
We have a mortgage 🙃
Can’t wait for the day it’s completely paid off
