Hi Gabe, I have been watching your minimalism journey and have been a minimalist myself for about 6 years. My entire life has changed because of it! Instead of valuing things, cars, houses, stuff, I know whats important in life! I value life itself and I am grateful for every little thing. I value my family, my time, food, my apartment. I love saving money and feeling safe and helping others. I know I can handle it if some unexpected expense comes up. I am a 64 year young woman who finally realized what life is all about and I am content. Thank you for your many years of inspiring videos! I love seeing you and your family grow. ❤
I'm someone who is not a minimalist, but shooting for "minimalish." I've decluttered 80%+ of my belongings, but where I like to have a collection is books. And, yes, Kindle, but I feel happy when I have books around me. I live alone but have dishes to serve 6-8. This choice I made because I want to have my kids home for holidays and have everyone comfortable. Other than those two categories I have scaled my stuff down to a level where my home is inviting and cozy but there is no clutter. I'm also reading "The Mountain Is You" and working on improving myself.
I’m a writer, and so books are very important to me. For me, I kind of created a system with this where I *do* buy the book, read it, and then decide which “pile”it goes into… books that I adore, the best of the best… I keep those. I also keep signed books, or otherwise rarer prints. I generally donate everything else. That way, I support the writer, I read the books, my kids see me reading a lot, and they get accustomed to the idea of donations, generosity, giving… And then of course other people benefit by having books available for free or cheaper, and I get to keep my best shelf candy.
@@Johnny5477 I like this. I decluttered most of my books when I was trying to go minimal so what I have left is what I love. But recently I've been buying like it's my job. I only keep what I like and let go of what I know I will never read again, but I don't know that I want a minimal collection. That said I won't keep books just to have more books on a shelf. I live in an area with a generous amount of Little Free Libraries nearby so when I have books to give away I drive around and fill the little cabinets. =)
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm turning to a minimalist lifestyle and It's insane how we can live freeamd happy without a bunch of stuff and concerns about what people will think!
Gabe, your channel is helping me so much right now. Thank you for being so concise, motivated and all the other great things you are. I really appreciate the content you share with people.
Became a minimalist in high school because...... I noticed people who are in abusive relationships stay because they're love bombed. If you aren't in love with the things of this world you can't be controlled nor confused by it as easily. I understand why God says to not love the things of this world now. huh
It's a journey, isnt it, Ive been doing my best to reduce and declutter for over a year now. There is improvement but it is far from good enough. It is a journey. Im looking forward to the future. Also gave up on exchanging my car for a new one, will keep saving for a property investment.
Brilliant as always 💚 simple things are so important. building a life by design I am trying.. please keep up the incredible work you do! Have a Favorite Weekend
"somebody" wears all black, like a weirdo... 😂 I have been a minimalist for 20 years but my hubby has never fully jumped on board, but... a couple years ago I bought him a bunch of Cuts clothes (heard about it from you) and now that is all he wears and I haven't had to buy any since.
I suggest dropping the intermittent shaving. You would look a lot better. Also, drop the hat on backwards. I promise you that decades from now you will be saying "what was I thinking?"
I’m sure we could all do things to look a lot better but it doesn’t mean we should. Everyone has their own style and taste. Please be kind in your comments 🙏
I SUGGEST YOU KEEP YOUR NASTY COMMENTS TO YOUR SELF...... HE LOOKS BETTER THEM YOU BECAUSE HE IS NOT PROUD AND ARROGANT.... READ THE BIBLE..............
With all due respect some messages need to be repeated and after 5 years there may be more knowledge....plus new people join...you can always click off....
I ENJOY HEARING EVERY THINK YOU SAY.......I'M A HIGH SCHOOL DROP TOO...... SO DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO SELMAKURTOVIC..... IF YOU CAN'T SOME THING NICE DON'T SAY ANYTHING.... GABE LOVE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY....... GOD BLESS YOU HA TURMP WIN.........

This is amazing I totally agree. I also have learned where true value lies and it’s so liberating. I wish you much love on your continued journey xx
I just love minimalism, i love applying it for my finances, the books i read and my health.
Any recommendations?

Ride the Wave...makes so much sense. Keeps you from feeling as though you are failing in an area....focus on one big thing at a time!
You continue to change my life for the better man. Been watching you for many years and will continue!

I have implemented many of your suggestions. The best change I have made that you suggested was the “2 minute rule”!
Really liked the idea of living life by Design not Default 😎
Your videos always pick me up when I am in OVERWHELMED MODE. Thank you for that!
Thank you for being so awesome 😎😎😎
Appreciate it!

I’m on this journey with you. Thank you so much for this video!!! Took notes!!! ❤
This is the best most helpful video you've ever made!! Thank you!!
Love the minimumlism move it's what important to you.
Great content
Love the new house! Sure did love the blue color of your last place!
Ohhhh! Air BnB! I thought you’d moved!
Great video. Makes me laugh how in almost every segment of this video, he sits on the floor when there’s a table and chairs behind him. 😂
Honestly, I hate tables and chairs lol I like eat most meals on the floor
@@GabeBult Guess you don't need it then get rid of it 🤣❤
"somebody" wears all black, like a weirdo... 😂

These are great lessons Gabe!! Thank you 😊
I wonder how all the people preaching minimalism have nice houses.
That was an Airbnb
@@GabeBult How about creating a video showcasing what defines a truly “minimalist” house, from the exterior.
