+elizabeth tresCosas True, most of us don't have the *choice* of rejecting our 6-figure job or even the luck/connections/skills to build hit websites, but this talk (even though it too is self-promotional) left me feeling that his heart ultimately is in the right place.

Loved the presentation..life can be so simple and happy and yet we, human beings, are forgetting what really matters - it's the experiences ( not stuffs ) !!

I always thought of simple life ,but deep down talking to myself that I was the only one and that I was crazy ,but now I know that this is on very human nature,and we push ourselves to buy stuff and as a result spend more time worrying and on the job then enjoying what we have thanks everyone.

To everyone who commented that this guy is privileged, my take away is that it’s more powerful when someone is privileged and makes the intelligent decision to simplify vs someone who does not have the choice. Additionally, majority of his audience is privileged and it’s the privileged segment of the population whom can benefit greatly from his message.

I like the thin towels you showed. Where can I find something like that? I'm tired of the BIG BULKY towels that take up the whole washer....but we need towels that are absorbent :) Great video! We have downsized BIG TIME when we moved from Ohio to Florida a few years ago. We were on 10 acres, ranch with basement, pole barn, shed, etc...now we live in small ranch on 1/4 acre. Life is so much easier...less work, less stress & more affordable.
@kingdomcome16179 жыл бұрын
+Swaying With The Palm Trees ... there is a reason you have 10 acres, ranch, pole barn, and a shed, and it is not to have less work lol. It is to survive as independently as you can... I commend you on being happy where you are... but it's not for everyone. Keep that in mind.

Think about it. In 1987 average home was 1700 square fee, now 2400? why, because many insists on getting more and more stuff. Much of which ends up in closest, garage or storage. We also find many more in debt up to their ears, which we blame on government. Meanwhile people who continue to live more frugal lifestyles, seem to have fared quite well. Hymm.. I learned don't need to have fanciest phone, car, get caught up fashion trends or other stuff that is brained into us to buy.
