I haven't purchased any clothes or shoes in over 10 years. For Christmas and birthdays, I ask for those 😂 I use credit cards for all purchases made even if its $2. At the end of the year, my points cover all of my gifts to my family. Life is great when you are a minimalist.

That is great! My goals is to not buy any clothing until 2025. Any suggestions?

@@jasssohi5641get more aware to what you have. Sometimes when you see how much you already have and that you have everything you need, you have a smaller desire to buy more. Then, move from your closet everything you don't wear anymore, put it in storage somewhere if you are not sure you want to get rid of.

@@jasssohi5641you should invest in good quality clothes or look to thrift store finds of nice clothes if that’s something you would be ok with but they would last longer and therefore you wouldn’t have to worry about that part which would help with not buying more clothes or shopping in that section for yourself.

9. You have more money. 10. You don't follow fashion trends because your closet is full of durable classics. 11. You spend more time thinking and creating rather than watching and being entertained. (Baking/going on a hike over restaurant/Netflix.) 12. You no longer worry what others think.

I'm on a slow-ish minimalism journey for about 7 years. I don't have a donation box per se. I have boxes of things I sell and things I'd be happy to give friends and family as presents instead. The reason it's a slow journey is mainly because I'm trying to use up the things I have and paid money for. Unless it's something that affects me or it's expired, I won't throw it away for the sake of space. The space has been acquired with time. There's a huge noticeable difference with my home now vs 7 years ago so I know I'm on the right path!

That's really awesome!!!! Yes, I'm doing this slowly...don't know if I will call myself a minimalist, but I'm definitely downsizing, go ing away things to people who can use the items etc...or using up the time etc.
@AandM89 күн бұрын
I’m mostly the same way! I’ve had stints of just tossing things prematurely due to overwhelm and impulse. But mostly, it’s been pulling the brakes on the traffic of new things into my household as well as using up and donating things that genuinely don’t fit me or I’m not using at all and never will. I’m on year 4 of this journey.

I've noticed that my oldest clothes in my collection come from one brand. They aren't cheap to the point where it can easily be hoarded, but they aren't expensive to the point where I would be upset paying full price. I also struggle with sizing and have learned my lesson in the past with ordering online so I only buy clothes if I'm able to try it on in person. It usually discourages me from buying the item because it does not look the way I expected :')

A wishlist has been so practical for me, especially on Amazon. I will add things to the wishlist, and then end up removing them later because I found something better or different. But sometimes, I’ll just keep removing and replacing and won’t ever buy anything. This has saved me so much $$$
@kitkat888169 ай бұрын
if I go shopping I take pictures of items I like so I have it on my phone in a folder in a few weeks time I end up deleting the picture cause I’m like I don’t need that or why did I want that I would never use it. This has helped me save so much money and consuming less junk and if I continue to still want it I keep my eye out for a similar item on Vinted or in a thrift store. I used to walk into a shop and would end up walking out with a couple items even that I never ended up using it was just cause it was on a pretty display but I can proudly say I can walk around a shop and not buy a single thing. I been so much happier and more content with the items I already own and I treasure what I own more then I ever have now where before it would just get left in a draw or a pile never to be touched or worn cause it had no value to me.
