Here's a tip I've implemented: for every new item I bring into my home, I make sure to let go of something else. It’s a simple one-in, one-out rule that keeps things balanced and prevents accumulation. This approach not only keeps my living space tidy but also makes me think twice before buying something new. It’s a practical step towards a more mindful and minimalist lifestyle, ensuring that everything I own adds real value to my life. Great video my friend!

I have found that living in a place that is cluttered up with stuff everywhere is emotionally draining. I get very unhappy.

My mother was and still is a really bad hoarder, she spends every dime she has on random stuff, growing up being surrounded by so much stuff I now have an addiction to getting rid of stuff, I don't have any holiday decorations, I don't have any boxes in my house, I have no need for amazon or ebay because I just don't buy stuff... its peaceful having a clean house

One of your most compelling videos to date. So much so, I'm devoting my weekend to donating as much of my extra stuff I can. Now I chuckle every time I say "just in case."

I'm proud to say that not one of these applies to me. Being a minimalist feels so good. Good luck to anyone on their journal to a more minimal life. You won't regret it.

I know I am a habitual shopper so I make it a point to just stop going to stores alone. Every Home Depot trip or Target trip I always bring a kid or my spouse. My kids get bored and my wife says, “Do we need that?” Really helps keep me in check.

"Do you own stuff, or does your stuff own you?" Easy to see what I didn't need/even want to have when I heard that! Also, I think it's good to personalize your own "minimalism", more like essentialism. I'll buy a lot of books or shoes (I use different athletic shoes, hunting boots, etc.), but I don't buy a bunch of kitchen stuff. So it can definitely be up to you!

#22 - When you order so much from Amazon that when they bring a next day delivery you have no idea what's in the box.

@OC-Gal 10 ай бұрын

Hi Tae, great video and delivery! You always offer great content ! Seniors have a tendency to be hoarders. They also end up having a lot of falls, broken hips, femurs etc. They trip over the items in their home. A sign of a hoarder is someone who will never let you come into their home. I work with seniors and 60%+ are horders.

I think older people just can’t face dealing with the accumulation. Mentally and physically.m

@johnl9135 6 ай бұрын

That's what I'd done during the 2020 pandemic. I'd ordered so many things on Amazon for just in case and bc it was on sale. I'm so regret it after I had found financial independence videos. I wish I had found investment videos before the big dips. Missed out the big opportunity to buy index funds when it was on big discounts. 😢

# 18b: You rent a storage unit AND you have a lot of credit card debt. Or, you’re borrowing money to buy things you have no room for. Great video!

@genericwatcher2439 9 ай бұрын

YES, I have too much stuff. We were hired to empty someone's house that passed away, when we saw all the crap this old person kept, it opened my eyes and I started on the path of minimalism. I am started to be much happier, but my wife HATED IT, she likes clutter because she grew up very poor and clutter makes her feel rich.

I once rented a storage unit between two teaching jobs in the 1990's. It may have added up to at least a $1,000 for 1 year. I also found a bag of socks and two umbrellas that I may have purchased at least 6-12 months ago when cleaning my apartment recently. Some of my 500 children's books are in multiple bins. I am a public school librarian. One of my schools has at least two rows of empty shelves and could use newer books. A local used bookstore will also look at books by the box or bin to buy.

AAAnd when you confront those people for their bad money habit, their most basic reply is "it's my money, I can do whatever I want" and not address the issue by twisting the focus elsewhere

Here’s an interesting game to play with a friend/neighbor/family member: have them come over to your place, and point to ANY random drawer, storage container/area, or closet/cupboard-if you can’t specifically state what’s being kept in there-you have too much! Now switch, and do the same at their house. This exercise will really drill down on whether or not you know what you have and where it is.

I use my floor as storage space and everything I own fitts in 2 travelbags. I guess it is easy to just throw stuff on the floor from time to time when you dont have drawers to put it on or in.

I've been looking all over the internet for someone to explain how a teacher/state employee with a pension between 40-65% of their take home pay at retirement should invest for maximum medium to long term wealth (retirement and brokerage). At 35, considering I have the pension what, how does that change my calculations for investing/retirement?

What about when we get a lot of things for free - for eg due to where we work or something that people gave us for free

@margarethathaway6299 10 ай бұрын

My take on this is that just because something is offered doesn't mean you have to accept the free item, and if you do take something you don't have to keep it any longer than YOU want to keep it. Slow the inflow of things entering your home and you'll have a cleaner, calmer place to live.

22. The Amazon, UPS drivers knows you by name. 23. You have a backyard shed that's already full and you want to build another one. 23b. You have started to store your mower, pressure washer, generator outside the shed since your shed is getting full. Of course, you have weather covers for them. 24. You store things in your car trunk because you don't have space in your home 25. Everytime someone is giving away free stuff, you rush there, because who doesn't love free stuff? Free TVs? put them in every bedroom. Free shelves? more room for even more stuff. Free old PCs? Great for every family member with Linux on it. Free chairs? great for guests.

A career which gives you a little bit of time and work-life balance costs you financial independence because it'll be low paying. Tough choices to make. Keep in mind, investing provides a jumpstart to financial freedom. At 34, I already have a $6m portfolio.
