      Amen Rachel Cruze! as your dad used to put it, "stiff-itis". Stuff will ultimately not bring me joy, all I want is love in my life. Sure it's great to be debt free on everything, even owning a house that's paid for, I just hope I find someone who will try to understand my belief in your program, I believe in you and your dad's philosophy so much.

    Want to know what can spark a minimalist lifestyle? Being the executor of the estate of an 80 year old widow who lived in the same home for 50 years! 15 years ago I walked away from that experience, went home and immediately started cleaning house! My daughter is now 31 and I've told her for years that my goal is that I will not leave her with that kind of mess, financially or with "stuff" when I die. Over those years, post-divorce and during my BS2 journey, I have lived in two rooms of the upstairs of a condo, down to most recently, a master suite. Everything I own fits in that master suite, bathroom and closet. It's very freeing to not be hooked on "stuff". When I do move into a home of my own, the minimalist in me will still rule!

    After experiencing Katrina in 2005, I realized how much money I had lost on unnecessary stuff. Pounds of meat and seafood lost in the large deep freezer for a family of three. The thing that got me, while going through the mess; I had realized I had a lot of items with the price tags still on them. What really hit me was, I'd purchased two identical bathroom sets from different stores. I couldn't remember when I purchased them. 😕 If only I had learned from my mother,I would have much more money in the bank today. She lived beneath her means, paid with cash, hated owing anyone, and planned her purchases.

    A precious suggestion for parenting in a minimalism: Go to the library weekly...lots of reading with out needing to pay for many books or only shop at dollar tree etc. Readers are leaders but you don't have to collect many books to read many books. My son re-checks out the same book for a few weeks but always gets new ones! Enjoy and hope ppl read this.

    • @MrsThollo
      @MrsThollo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This is exactly what I realized. Initially, it was about saving money but like Marie Kondo said: we really aren't going to reread the majority of our books. Now, the only books I buy and keep are the ones I want my children and other loved ones to read.

    • @CassandraBixbyMemoryKeeper

    I love the Minimalism documentary! It's fascinating that you are inspired by it cause the director of that documentary started his minimalism journey when he was facing financial problem and he read your father's book (which then resulted in him in downsizing and the minimalist lifestyle). Everything comes full circle!

    I saw this documentary a few years ago. Not sure when but this really good. And totally true. I integrated minimalism in my life a few years ago. Just slowly and I totally love it. Simplifying your life is really so good and there’s more time for a lot of really important things and it saves you a lot of money. And every time I feel like shopping for stuff I ask myself do I really need this? And 8 out of 10 times I don’t so I don’t just buy stuff. And I go for quality over quantity. Indeed stuff does not make you happy, it’s just temporary happiness. Experiences are more important and spending time with loved ones. Xoxo

      Sorry wasn’t ready. I said I’ve seen about how owning lots of stuff doesn’t really make you happy and how we are destroying our planet by buying cheap things that are bad quality just so we can throw them away again a few months or a year later.

    Another great way to save money is to eat more plant based meals! A lot of people think "vegan", but there is still a lot of processed food that is vegan. I think that would be great for people to see how easy, cheap, and healthy plant based meals are!

      While I totally respect your choice, it’s actually cheaper to go more locally sourced meat heavy in your diet. Good fruits and veggies are seriously expensive. You can get 3 times the nutrition and calories from a rib eye steak than you can from the equivalent calories and cost of plants. You can go longer in between meals too. Just putting that out there. Again, your choice is totally cool and respectable.

    • @soph3420

      Agnes Laufer you know I never thought about it that way before, but I think you're right! Many people, especially those who think wealth is "bad", claim Jesus was "poor". I believe Jesus handled a ton of wealth (I mean, Judas was able to steal a LOT from the offerings) but he had simply what was essential. A true minimalist. Love it!

    I started 2 years ago by identifying what I was not using, like certain clothing items or items in boxes that stayed packed away for years - I had to ask myself why they were there if I wasn't going to utilize them. I started giving things away and making sure not to purchase any new items. I am much happier with less and I hope to get rid of even more stuff - like paperwork from my past college classes, sometimes those are hard to let go of.

    Obviously you’ll never read this but I’m so happy when I hear you tube famous people putting Jesus in their channel and explaining what our lives should revolve around Him and our relationship with Him. The centers of ourselves with His gift of the Holy Spirit and his love and our genuine love for others especially those less fortunate then ourselves mentally and physically. Plus when you have Jesus at your core you ctually realize how much the ones less fortunate then our blessings have to offer us in growing and appreciating life. Great video ❤

    I love the minimalists! I've been watching a lot of their you tube videos. I've always been someone that purged stuff quite often and had family ask why I got rid of something. At least I know I'm not alone. There's more I need to get rid of but compared to the average home & most homes I've been in, I am pretty close to being a minimalist myself. Thanks for having them on.

    I finally got onboard. I have lived in my house for 28 years and things just creep up. My daughter had to move home so instead of putting her and her cats in a small bedroom we decided to clear our our large family room. My wife pushed me but the more I got rid of the freer I felt. An unbelievable amount of stuff was thrown out or given to charities. I then tackled my other stuff and keep feeling better and better about less. While my spouse hasn’t joined me with the same vigor she has gotten rid of several large garbage bag clothes. If everyone got on board in our house my stress level would likely be very relaxed.

    @angelfriend3710 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think minimalism is helpful. It's good to take the focus off of stuff. I also think a place for everything, and everything in it's place. I have a Goodwill hobby...go every week. I finally came to the conclusion that it's time to curtail my trips there. I reasoned I have tons of DVDs (don't have cable...baby step 2). I have a beautiful basket full of CDs (older car), more cut/depression glass than I know what to do with (but are beautiful when the sun shines through the window). I have art supplies galore, every lovely kitchen gadget, holiday decor (decked the halls beautifully for less than $50.00!), unlimited clothes, etc... It's time to be settled with what I have. Stuff is not a bad thing...allowing the accumulation of stuff to fulfill you or fill the void in your soul is the real enemy. You can get just as off track if you allow minimalism to give you fulfillment, and seek to fill the void (only Jesus can fill) with it. I have a few trips to give to Goodwill in the near future. Thanks for such an informative video!

    I own higher quality items but less too. I love the packing party idea, although I lived it for real as I was living with a lot of debt at one point. I had to move quite often and lose "stuff" and I had children. It may be forced, but eventually they understand bc I think they have a better relationship. It's more about the connections and experiences in life...and also it doesn't spend as much money as a result.

    When you hit rock bottom and rebuild your life step by step you have a real eye opener. I have been there. I don't buy unnecessary stuff.

    Really good shoes are worth the price always. In Italy the shoes are such good quality they even hand them down. If you spend $1500 on a pair of leather boots for example with a classic design, you can repair them as needed and have them for a very long time. Same thing with certain Louis Vuitton bags too. They offer repair services and the bags are basically indestructible.

    I find it difficult to save money on grocery items without meal planning and a partner who does not stick to the shopping list. My supermarket list is planned with a survey of the ads and purchasing sale items to fill the freezer (just bought two 19-lb turkeys $5 each) promoted for a holiday. The best thing I do is reduce my expenses and cut out wasteful spending.

    • @northstar4851

    This episode came right when I needed it. I have way too many things! I am decluttering now! I am finding it hard to get rid of some of my stuff. I have been rationalizing keeping it but why?? I haven't used it... It's time to get it out!

    • @abrareads
      @abrareads 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Maybe the packing party idea for the stuff that is harder to get rid of. Maybe having a bit of distance from those things will make it easier to get rid of therm. Or maybe finding people who would have true use for them might help as well.

    • @alisonrobinson6420
      @alisonrobinson6420 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Such a blessing! Wouldn't it be great if it wasn't so random, though....if we as Christians were in a constant state of fulfilling the Great Commission and spreading the message of the Gospel? Just food for thought. It's something I need to be better about being more bold in, myself. Your comment just got me thinking.

    If the KonMarie all at once style doesn’t work for you try FlyLady. She doset talk only about getting rid of things but how to keep everything in order. Not only your things but your live! She doesn’t talk about minimalism, but it can lead to this.
