Everything I Own as a Minimalist

[@cmac2295]

I was curious, so I counted the Items mentioned in the video 😊 Clothing: 36 Items Filming Gear: 18 Items Hygiene/EDC: 4 Items Misc./Hygiene: 5 Items Kitchen: 10 Items Furniture/ Transportation: 7 Items Misc: 4 items Total of 84 items (mentioned ) Items that weren't included were any items communal/shared, perishables/food, individual/personal, replenishable/ 'runs out. *note: Clothing Items include count from previous video. If Nick mentioned the word 'couple', I added it as 2 Items and if he stated 'few', I counted it as 4 Items. *Also, total count may not be accurate for actual total Items owned, but it's a pretty darn goal to be inspired by ❤ If anything is incorrect, please correct me and thank you again Nick for another great video 🙏

I smiled as I read this thank you so much!! 😄

I find videos like this inspiring. I could never live with so little, but it serves to remind me that I have far more than I need, or indeed really want to own.

[@ladymassive7580]

"I could never live with so little." That's what Amazon tells you.

[@MartinCliffe]

@@ladymassive7580 Nice sentiment, but I actually need more than this to do my job. I rarely buy new stuff.

[@usmcdoc2512]

I work on Harleys in my little garage. i wish I could be minimalist like this but gotta make money and can't fix Harleys digitally.

[@VictorReyes-rc9xp]

I think it’s more like seeing it as only have what you need. Everyone’s needs vary.

[@sarawilkerson8566]

I use to work with this guy & he’s awesome

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you Sara!! Hope all is well

[@DemetriPanici]

That opening scene was on point

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks man! You've been coming up on my suggested for a while now. Great stuff

[@nicholasferreira6943]

Video well done! I own way too much still but most of it is sentimental stuff. I used to own a heck of a lot more but did a huge purge between the years 2015 and 2017.

[@ivanmayet7879]

Thanks for sharing your stuff with us :D despite the few things you have, if they bring you value that is what really matters

[@chandi7066]

Hi Nichol,🎯 " Small choices increase our Happiness. " Mmm.....🤔 Of course i agree with your ideas.👍

[@mignoncobra]

Thank you for the video. I love the last bit about it not being a race to own the least amount of stuff 😊

[@stewartson.amrynsong]

Such inspiring contents. I randomly found this channel & have continuously binge watch all of the videos. Neat videos & nice editing 👍🏻

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!

[@paggi93]

Likewise! It’s like I’m looking forward for new videos from this channel! Great job!

dang i love this ! i’m constantly trying to be better and better it’s a fight w myself

Matt D'Avella fan here...or now more like Nicholas Garofola fan? Perfect! I discovered your channel a few days ago and I was really happy about it! You look nice and I like your style! Great videos

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you so much!! Very generous words

[@DJ-ll2ye]

Fantastic approach to life! 👍 You know what you're doing.

[@Delala]

Wow that's not a lot! Haha I liked the video! Makes me reconsider some of my stuff again 😅

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks Delala! Even for me this is pretty lean. By far the least amount I’ve ever owned 😅

[@chalabi9069]

Great video man! I would like to see you talk about time management in future videos(I'm in med school and I've been told to sacrifice everything for it)

[@NicholasGarofola]

I can elaborate on this I think!

[@phoebebiketravel]

Interesting and inspirational. Thank you!

[@y_en1]

Just the right amount of items

[@volvacations2186]

Ok. This is going to be a weird comment but I got so excited to see the Haikyuu!! video on the TV. I am an over 50 librarian but started an anime club at our middle school. I knew nothing when we started this year but now I know some stuff. Yay!!

[@NicholasGarofola]

That is awesome! Haikyuu is my favorite 😄

[@debitdhakal1281]

Important video for all beginner minimalist.....

[@_mrs.s4n_9]

nice video! (: i was wondering what devices and stuff do you use in the kitchen? could you make a video about that?

[@thebobman69]

Car fluid oil/coolant/wiper? Car pump? Window washing? Floor cleaning? Bandaid, spare sheets, towel? Pens? Paper? Do you have a garden?

[@ChristianSimplicity]

That's a nice desktop setup (I currently just have a laptop) but I may get a desktop again one day and would just copy that setup lol!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks! The portability of a laptop is just too nice though 😄

[@mikethomas203]

This is striking to me. What does this man do? I understand the need to avoid material things, but he has no tools, books, or beautiful things.

[@zephyrr108]

Indeed. I asked about books 😂. Hes probably a digital nomad

[@zephyrr108]

But yeah its bizarre.

[@nzrabbit77]

loved this video, very calming and inspiring

[@MichelleNovalee]

What about kitchen items like bowls, plates, pans, etc?

[@mariastathopoulos744]

It appears you live in a shared house, so it's easy to be minimalist if you only have a bedroom as your own space to furnish. If you have a lounge/living room then your sitting on furniture provided by someone else, pans/bowls/plates, cooking utensils, microwave, kettle etc, provided by someone else.

[@Hybridious]

I like the idea of minimalism, I would probably call myself a full/medium-feature(practical?) minimalist, but most minimalism that the internet seems to be interested in trends to look more like "hurt-falivism". I'm currently looking for a new wallet, but they all claim to be minimalist wallets where I don't have any space to put cash in a space where I know it will never fall out like a pocket, or the wallet has a built-in multitool where I would be afraid to sit down with all the knives that pop out. It's like Bungie jumping with a real rope because the rope was smaller than the elastic one.

[@gautambhatti5870]

First bro love you broooooooooooooooo ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@daiseylopez3189]

Just charming

[@_latoyaashley_]

Watching your old videos after following you this year is interesting! I never knew you didn't always keep your hair long but also, & more importantly, I was looking for more humor and puns lol

[@NicholasGarofola]

Yeah the hairs a new thing 😅 and so are the puns I’d say. Thanks for watching my vids!!

[@hibiscusbisque3320]

Strange question, (and I know this video is a year old at this point) but how often do you do laundry with such a small wardrobe? On the daily? The only reason I keep so many clothes is because I only have time for laundry maybe once a week

[@NicholasGarofola]

Probably about once a week or so

[@Angelina_Cecelia]

Great video as always!

[@pauljakeman]

Nice! That really is no much stuff! Great going bro.

[@theaab9326]

Yess ! I want the same ! But what about administratif papers ? School manual ect… ? I have Many archive box…

[@NicholasGarofola]

Mostly electronic!

[@The7rights]

Hey Nic I usually enjoy most of your videos and this one I really admire and appreciate as you have a few things which are branded and in a good condition which is very important and that's my way too as I believe in owing less and the best :)

[@kissesbykula]

I get overwhelmed with clutter, I am really considering adapting a minimal lifestyle

[@NicholasGarofola]

@@NicholasGarofola will do! supporting from Hawaii🤙🏻

[@zenpaciencia]

so, you don't invite people to your home for dinner or stuff like that? and what about pillows, towells, toothbrush, things like that? seems pretty easy if I only talk about personal things, but doesn't seem reasonable to show just these kind of stuff.

[@pierre-louistharreau2608]

cool man, thank you for the inspiration !

What kind of north face back pack did you use in this video? I can’t really hear what it was. Hope you see my comment this back pack seems ideal! Love all your vids btw!

Do you never have to go anywhere "dressed nicely"? Do you not have 1 button down, dress shoes, and suit? As for the title of "minimalist"--you can be a minimalist no matter how much you have. That's a personal definition.

I can't remember the last time I had to dress up nicely lol, I do have one button up though.
