HOW MINIMALISM MADE ME RICH

[@ohhtae]

this video is such a fresh breath of air. You are literally my goals. To travel and have a job/s while doing it. I also am in college and I have always wanted a degree, but I don't know what I want to do with my life and its refreshing that I don't need a 9-5 job like everyone says.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Tayler Nicole yasss girl you can totally do what I'm doing!! Hope we can meet up in LA 😊😊

[@iiAngelic]

Tayler Nicole I'm in the sane boat! College loans are a thing though, so it's hard.

[@alexanderjoy15]

I feel u. I'm not a 9-5er. I'm a beginning minimalist and my lifes dream is to travel the world. U are an inspiration.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much! You can do it :)

[@JamieBanksTravel]

Melissa Melanie Pam ditto! Just left my 9-5 last week.

[@mariabogh]

You are soooo right about everything you say in this video! 😃 I'm working on building my own business because I want to live my dreams. I've held myself back for years because I was influenced by "normal" life. I thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't want that kind of life. And I thought I needed to grow up properly and then I would fit into a "normal" life. Never happened. So now I'm jumping - into my dream.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

YES! So proud of you girl, that is amazing!

[@mariabogh]

Amanda Round the Globe Thank you so much! 😃 It sooo exciting and scary at the same time 😉 You are such a great inspiration. Love your videos!

[@christinamariemoney]

i am in the same situation! we are always told a 9-5 job is the way to go. definitely not true. good for you for following your dreams! :)

[@mariabogh]

Christina Marie Definitely not true 😀 Always disliked the idea of a 9-5-job. I'm so grateful I'm finally doing my own thing. Sounds exciting! What are you working on?

[@mariabogh]

Christina Marie I just visited your channel and saw you have a video about it, so I guess it answers my question 😉

[@PenniesNotPerfection]

Great video Amanda! It's amazing how much minimalism has changed your life and helped you save money. Keep working and building your own dream. :)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thanks so much!

[@livelaughlove4635]

Great video! I would like to see the money saving series.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

awesome I will start planning it! I'm excited to make it :) :) thank you!

[@alexanderjoy15]

Who thumbs downs this? miserable people in denial? I'll never understand haters. This video is so full of positive vibes & success! Love u!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much Melissa!! :) :) :) xoxo

[@annababy20111985]

Shut the fuck up, what makes you think people have to like what you like?.

[@theminimalistninja]

I am just a little over half way through the video and love everything you said! 🙌 I think once you decide what it is that you desire, make a plan and go for it things little can stop you! Every step is a step forward. If plan a doesn't work, there's always plan b. I love the message of this video!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thanks so much! It got a bit rambly, this one, but I got really worked up haha. Love that you live this lifestyle too and that we get to connect through here :)

[@danabel1615]

Wow it really shows in your face and your eyes what words cannot even express

[@christinamariemoney]

she is very passionate!

[@SpecialgiftsLA]

Amanda, this is the only video Iv seen..Im still listening.I feel like you..and you have done it.Iv turned minimulism by necessity and feeling that its made me aligned more with my deep inner needs.I am still Regrouping for the changes I make every so often..kind of like climbing a mountain and then stopping to see how far Iv gone. I set a goal to move to Ireland so I can complete a book Iv been writing while struggling with the reality of making a living ..but honestly Iv kept quiet about it. Writing is something Iv always lived to do..as a way to express and also create and share. It is so good to meet you and hear your experience. It makes me happy there are like minded people out there, And I love you talking about the LAW. Iv been watching alot of great channels. And find louise haye explains it really well. My book is also about this. I will subscribe and curious to watch your vids. You encourage me to continue and believe that If I decide courageously and at least to myself that this is what Id like to do ..that I can .sending you lots of love .and thanks for putting it out there.Liah x

[@khem127]

Thank you for your Blog. Its good to hear from someone with enough courage to live the life that they dreamed of, and how it's working. I think your message is something that we can't hear too often.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

aw thank you so much! This makes me so happy :)

[@girlvsglobe]

What an inspiring video Amanda!! I'm a full time blogger so do something similar to you (although I'm just getting into KZbin), but have SO. MUCH. STUFF. and feel like it's really weighing me down. I'm starting to get rid of things and get into minimalism now and it feels so liberating!!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

yes so excited for you! That is awesome!

[@dikshyachapagain5442]

That's so great you are living a free life and not bound by jobs you are blesssed . I love to travel but I prefer stability at the same time. I am gravitating more towards minimalist lifestyle thanks for the video 😊

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I know a lot of people who prefer stability so they will just travel a few months out of the year - that is awesome! I would like to someday have a place to call home and travel like that, but for now this works for me :)

[@adria626]

Amanda Round the Globe You have a place to call home girl!! It's yourself, it's your body, it's your heart.

[@lifewithtif]

Love this video!! I noticed some of the same things when I started simplifying my life, its so great when you have work that is fulfilling, and still have time to do what you're passionate about! I like the longer videos, just as much as the shorter ones. xoxo

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

yes! Thank you so much, I felt like I got a bit rambly in this one haha :)

[@tlhuettl]

Amanda, thanks for your videos! You've been such an inspiration to me! I too value my time so much. I would really like to quit my 9-5 job some day, but as someone living in the U.S., one thing that keeps stopping me is how would I afford health insurance. I would love it if you would share what you do in regards to health insurance while traveling and working part-time jobs, any tips or insights you may have. Thanks a bunch!

[@christinamariemoney]

health insurance can definitely be a big issue when deciding to quit a 9-5 job. like she said in the video, everyone has something holding them back. We just have to try our best to take little steps to follow our dreams :)

[@annababy20111985]

Um, you get health insurance through the government. Just like every other person with very little to no money.

[@kloves3lvandcckelli315]

I love your videos, I'm inspired by them and your minimalism experience... something I am striving for. I have been a stay at home mom for 17 years and just started subbing at the school last year, I just don't know what I really want to do with my life at 43.... i would love to work from home, like my husband does... but I haven't found anything :(

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

omg there are sooo many options for you! Maybe I'll make a video about this because I get asked how to work online quite often.

[@Rose_-_HH123]

Amanda Round the Globe Yes Amanda! That would be great, a video about the jobs you can do online! :)

[@tiffanyh2530]

Amanda Round the Globe yes please do!! 😁

[@alteredillusions100]

OMG, you are speaking my language Minimalism and LOA. I have intentionally practice Law of Attraction since 2012. It has made the world of difference in my life and I have manifested many of my desires. You should consider talking about LOA more on your Channel.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

maybe I will! I'm still a newbie with it but so far it's worked so well for me!

[@TheMindfulMillennial12]

This is such an inspiring video! I just started minimalism at the beginning of this year and it has really helped me not only put a really nice down payment on my house, but also pay more of the principal each month! My plan is to get out of a 9-5 in the next 12-18 months if my savings plan goes without any unexpected emergencies!

[@christinamariemoney]

that is awesome! good for you for following your dreams :) i am also currently on a money saving/minimalism journey :)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

oh my gosh that is amazing!! I'm so excited for you! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@leahkrokowski]

Hi Amanda, when you started talking about working a 9-5, I thought about the book that I am reading right now. You may have heard of it before. It's called The 4 Hour Work Week. It's so inspiring! I am working 9-5 now and am not even out of college yet. I feel like I am missing a lot of time with family and friends, traveling, etc. I have always loved writing and I am thinking of getting a blog started now!

[@christinamariemoney]

i will definitely have to read that book! thanks for the recommendation. :) i am trying my best to follow my dreams, and that does not include working a 9-5 job!

[@leahkrokowski]

Absolutely! Looking at your channel, I think it would be a wonderful book for you! :)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

that is awesome! I have heard of it but haven't read it, but I just downloaded it on audible! I can't wait to listen :)

[@amv062184]

My whole family are minimalists. We had waitresses, bus drivers, contractors, and lawn maintenance workers. We are very wealthy.

[@nelliaford1381]

Where are you going after your visa is done?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Hawaii for a couple of weeks and then I'll go home for a few weeks and then I'm planning to go to Mexico for a month and then New Zealand for a working holiday visa :)

[@shuhadaazlina]

@@AmandaRoundtheGlobe how about coming to Malaysia...

[@1stMilcom]

what a great video! subbed. Also forwarding this video to my young students in investing.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Thanks so much!! ☺️☺️

[@stephaniem4054]

I love the way you define being "rich" and I concur...good for you!!! I am working on being in a similar place very soon and living an even more fulfilling life. So happy for you.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

yay thank you! You can do it :) :)

[@DASHBARKS]

I love your videos about money and minimalism! this was a great one!!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

aw yay thank you so much! That makes me so happy :)

[@CreativeQueenx]

I really liked this video !!! I have recently become a minimalist too and I feel so free. I ended up giving away so many things to charity and decluttered the entire house ! Lots of love, CreativeQueen x

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

that is awesome!! :) :)

[@klmjtr]

Hi Amanda great video!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

aw yay thanks!

[@TheMinimalismSeries]

It's amazing how your life can change for the better after adopting a more minimalist lifestyle.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

crazy how much minimalism can change your life! So many ways I never expected!

[@leedadida7337]

Everything you say reminds me of me ...when I was traveling in Australia and New Zealand. I was thinking the same...I was feeling the same...had so much passion and dreams...I was really happy. I thought I can do anything I want in my life. But at some point you need to come back... your parents miss you ... the visas running out ... you get more mature....you get sick of meeting new people every time. It took me 6 months at home... and everything turned. You cannot compare backpacking to a "normal" life... at some point, you will need to settle down... moving in with a partner ...etc. Then you will realize that this experience was something special ...but not a forever!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I guess we will see how long I travel for :)

[@jeanjean-louis1772]

that's your own perception.what if she doesn't see life the way you see it?it is wrong to say that since we should live life on our term not on people or social constructs.if she is happy that's what matter.

[@itsjust_christa]

With these writing jobs, did you need any experience or degrees? And how did you go about finding them?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

they literally came to me. I started talking with family and friends about how I wanted to be a writer. When I was in Thailand, someone found me via a facebook ad to sell my bike. He looked at my facebook page, where I was constantly writing essays. He reached out and told me that he didn't want to buy my bike, but he wanted me to work for him as a writer. The second one happened because of this channel, someone found me talking about minimalism and saw that I love writing (I talk about it a fair amount haha) and asked me to write a minimalism series for him.

[@annaelisabethdrozd4459]

What a lovely and inspiring video! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I love how you say that it's okay not to go for that 9-5 job. Also pointing out that time and freedom make you rich is so amazing! Loved it. Also, really love your channel! Keep it up!

[@kfing1]

This is inspiring - have been fairly minimalist for years, but last few months ramping it up a few gears. This is what I want to do; save and do a 2nd OE. I hate working 9-5 and do contracting jobs - better for your sanity.

[@kfing1]

Also money saving tips welcome

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much! You can do it :) :)

[@stevenpadilla4294]

Happiness is doing your own thing in the service of others.

[@stevenpadilla4294]

Maybe

[@AngelofFaithHopeLove]

Thanks for sharing, my problem is not knowing what I want. I've been very indecisive most all my life.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

ah yes I used to be super indecisive! I still can be but travel has actually helped me be better at making decisions :)

[@onenighttoremember]

Irene Brown same here Irene...i dont know what to do next... I know i wanna do my own thing but what!? Where i come from its 9-6 work schedule and i barely have to time to hink and experience things...

[@paulhanson6008]

Just added your video to my inspirational saved favourite list...thanks and good wishes to you.

[@persephone213]

Great video! Money saving stuff is always good.

[@christinamariemoney]

money saving videos are my favourite! :)

[@santyme9046]

Lately I like watching chanel talking about minimalism, it's so inspiring. Can say I didn't start it yet, but it's already changed the way I think about what I have now, just like when I cleaning my house and rearrange my closet, I realized I already got things more than I need, even found things that still have price tags 🤪. Do minimalism that suit me and enjoy the change ❤️

[@rpaula3460]

Great vibes, great video Amanda! You´re a little ahead of me but we´re surely on the same life track. I wish I could meet more people like you in person, because in Brazil the mentality is more about status and important job positions. It´s hard to connect!!! Best wishes and great adventures and growth to you!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Raquel Bastos de Paula it's the same in the US (and a lot of Australia 😭). You have to find your people!

[@19Fra99]

Thank you for this great video! I really appreciate your work! Maybe you can make a video about minimalism as a student?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much! I wasn't a minimalist when I was a student but would love to address any specific questions you have!

[@19Fra99]

Amanda Round the Globe that would be so great! i think being in university as a minimalist is possible but maybe a little more difficult?

[@Mocha_Minimalist]

I understand completely. I am still in the beginning stages of my minimalist journey but I have gotten rid of so much and I dont miss it. I also have made about 1k from selling on Poshmark and to family and friends. My children and I are much happier and we have more peace. Plus even deep cleaning is a breeze. Once they r out of the house I am definitely going to travel constantly.

[@juliejohnson3637]

How much did you save to be able to take the year off and live off of savings?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Julie Johnson 12k - 15k. I saved a total of about $15k but I bought a laptop and a camera before I left which took $3k out of my savings, so I traveled on $12k for a year 😱

[@coachingwithcoua4892]

So happy for you girl! I will get to that "rich" place too..thanks for sharing!!!

[@zatoichiable]

whats the difference between living minimalism and being poor?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

minimalism is intentionally choosing what you want to have in your life. You don't have excess. I buy high quality items and choose to spend my money in the way that works best for me. Being poor means that you don't necessarily have the option to choose to buy high quality items.

[@zoeryu3317]

Thank you for your video. Very inspiring. I am pretty much living a life as a minimalist without even realizing that myself. Until I watched the first minimalism video in KZbin then I became aware what really appeals to me: a simplest life style. Then I learned that there are actually so many more I can do about my life. Your video is definitely very encouraging. Thank you for the message.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much Zoe!

[@fruitascension5089]

a money saving video would be great!

[@KayleeKapital]

What about retirement tho? Or if you get sick?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

what about it? If I get sick, I rest. I have a 401K for retirement :)

[@salinasn3]

Thank you for the video

[@Fearlessly-Kristen]

Yes, Amanda, yes! We have so many opportunities. Lets continue to educate people that they can have freedom and should never feel "stuck" doing what they don't want to do. Keep it up chica. Love your videos.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Aw thanks so much Kristen!! 💛

[@INHINDSITE]

Just getting started in minimalism and I too aspire to write. Any ideas on how to break into the writing arena? I'm completely open to suggestions. Thank you!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I'll make a video about it! Thanks for watching :)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

aw thank you so much! This makes me so happy

[@jessjess1673]

I love my 9 to 5 ❤ Loving the beauty industry it does not feel like I'm working but I still get to travel on my time off I'm trying to minimize my spending not because I'm lacking money. Or living pay check to pay check. But watching these type of videos made me realize I don't need so much clothes. I had 2 closets around 80 pairs of shoes. It's just ridiculous. Now I have less clutter. More breathing room and it just feels better

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

yes! So happy you have a job you love, you go girl! And how good does it feel to declutter?!

[@LiveInspired24.7]

You made absolute sense and I agree totally. Thanks for sharing !

[@csikomas8910]

So I guess when you are old, like me, and you haven't been paying into any system, then you will get by, exactly how? Oh, some man? Or your kids? or the government? The reason we work is so that at 60 we are free for 20-30 years. Ya, it blows to work 5 days a week, but that is how you can contemplate retiring at 45 or 50, being truly independent, knowing you served your time, and achieved something amazing, and along the way there are perks, days off, vacation. Make your plans, figure them out, that is the challenge, finding work - life balance, not checking out entirely. A woman without her own money is vulnerable to any way the wind blows, and you will feel insecure, regardless even if you only have enough stuff to fill one plastic bag. If you get hurt, and can't work to supplement, or the writing dries up, or U tube gets bored of you, what then, or your apartment sells and you can't afford another place, and you can't call your parents, really, think about it, what then? No one is saying to live in fear, but why not normal? What is so bad about normal and being independent because you're working and putting money aside for the future, which by the way comes really quickly? There are so many young women and men watching, do you really want to tell them to check out like this? What contribution are they making to the society that supports them? I see more and more girls on the street with signs asking me for my money, and I always think, get a job, its really not as bad as you've been told. I don't feel the minimalist wave is meant to advise people that they don't need to commit to 9-5 but more to remind us that we don't need all the stuff.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Thank you for your comment! I do save for retirement, and I don't believe that you ever have job security in any position - which is why I make an income from a variety of sources. I believe that I'm making an excellent contribution to society by encouraging people to live their best life. I am definitely making more of a contribution now than I was at my last job, where I would create excel reports to show my boss how much money he was making. Thank you for your worries but I will be fine :)

[@angiebaur9084]

And who is it to say that what know now is even a society? Seriously?

[@1976almodovar]

I agree with c sikomas, I think you need to accomplish a little bit more in life to accomplish the freedom you want to have. I understand that you only live once and you want to live life to the fullest but things come with a price, what are you going to do when you are old and tired, or sick??

[@angiebaur9084]

Juan Almodovar Whatever that scenario may entail its clear to see your assistance will be useless. Thabks for sharing

[@Wolvofficial]

I understand where you are coming from. I found having a job increases my income substantially and I don’t have to worry about the money as much you know and it gets me out there meeting people and learning from coworkers and customers. I would never leave my job unless I honestly made more money on the side. Best of luck

[@matiasvalor01]

Hi, i wondered what where your videos on making income online ? Im interested in watching them

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I am uploading a video on jobs that you can do online next week, but I have one about what I do as a digital nomad here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ60fZWIbrSZjNE :) Thanks so much and let me know if you have any other video suggestions!

[@michellemarie2590]

What makes you more beautiful than your looks is that you found a healthy lifestyle that works for you and you shared with us! I'm inspired now to live my life as I enjoy it. (I happen to like golfing, hiking, running and riding horses). My youngest of two graduates HS in two years at which time my life returns to me. Thanks 🙏🏽 to you I will retire from my 9-5 and live on my terms writing and helping others manage their wealth. You're a gem, thanks to you I'm encouraged to step out and do it! I'll spend two years preparing❣️ Mercì

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

[@belle3055]

what if u don't know what you want to do?

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I didn't know what I wanted to do at all until I found minimalism and had time to figure it out! Minimalism really helped me get to know myself :)

[@akula1055]

Hi Amanda I agree with you about being minimalistic and spend money in things that we really need. Just want to know what do you consider a rich person ? Thanks

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I think everyone defines a rich person differently! To me it is having the freedom to do what I want to do!

Awesome , looking foward more like this 😁😁💗

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

you got it!

[@TonyHickschick]

I like how you went for your dreams and didn't let others tie you down from what you wanted in your life. If it isn't the norm, so be it. I think as long as people aren't hurting anyone by what they do then people should do what makes them happy.. I do work a regular job 4 - 5 hours a day, five days a week but it is my dream job so I am happy with that. However, there are a few personal things I want that I am slowly working towards and if someone doesn't agree that is not their business. Can't please everyone.

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thank you so much! I'm so happy for you that you are living your dream too! Thank you for watching and good luck!

[@keke_oh]

Great video :) I'm curious, how old are you? I'm 23 and getting stresses about travel, I'm trying to save to leave in December but I'm feeling under pressure with my age to leave asap!

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

I'm 29 LOL. You have time! I didn't leave the US until I was 26

[@mariabogh]

Kendra O Nothing is ever too late. I'm 36 and just starting to realize that. 😊 I used to think my life was almost over at 30 but I've never felt better. And just now I'm starting to live my dreams. Age is not important (says the old lady 😉)

You just need to have one negative comment out of lots of positive: i assume your parents gave you life, good education and you were bourne in Europe or US, where life is easy in comparison to most countries in the world. You were bourne there because of your ancestors. There are many options of thinking about life possibilities. My way: 1) i have a good education and expensive property from parents and if i would sell it i could live whole life as a minimalist without working 9 to 18. Even if no property, i could live life as a minimalist, working as a freelancer because of education and traditions my parents gave me. But i will not just waste what my ancestors passed me! Lots of my and also yours ancestors was working hard, fighting wars, suffered and survived in bad conditions to get us where we are now. This is a starter kit that we received and we must multiply it and not waste it! I live with my wife and children. I have children so that they can have all this life experience. So that i can pass my traditions to them. I cannot go minimalist becuse it is a risk to my family in Russia. You think it will always be safe and stable in Eu or US? Check out the news or 100-200 last years of history... It is never safe and stable on this planet... What you like so much is to waste your starter kit that your ancestors gave you. I am shure there are a lot of people including me who would like it, but i will not be so proud of it. If you can start a family and give your family enough for safety and comfort as a freelancer, that is ok, but i think that is not what you are doing and saying in this video...

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

well the great thing is that you can live how you want, and I can live how I want :)

[@pandainpearls]

1:00 that's called becoming old, after 30 peoples go out do stupid drinking party much less.

[@luisbartolo7169]

I’m single no kids no nothing, I work construction so I guess it’s 9-5 maybe more, I save money , I heard that there’s seasonal work everywhere especially in the national parks , should I travel/work in seasonal jobs in different places ???? Is this like a life hack that nobody knows about

[@einatcooper2575]

Hi Amanda, Since you asked for feedback - I think rehearsing or writing some points would serve the clip better; as it is now there are many repetitions and ranting. Keep enjoying life and travel, that's my drug too ;-)

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thanks for the feedback!

[@twanniegodfirst8424]

nice video I Feel where you coming from I'm so tired of working a nine-to-five I just want to be financially free

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

amen! It takes a while but it's doable!

[@1976almodovar]

work hard and work smart that will make you financially free.

[@dannyjoecajucom3649]

Wow.. you did realy great! Being rich is not about the money you earn, its about the freedom of time.. its about how you live your life.. how passionate you are in your job.. and being happy on your everyday routine.. money its just a paper, but experience is a treasure. I want to meet you someday and share same stories.. i like your videos!!

[@vickyfernandez108]

What do you consider rich though?

[@Sarina1212]

[@marthaduarte8098]

So true! Good for you 🎉🎉

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

thanks so much girl!

[@nalley682]

but then what about getting maried and having kids? :/

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

what about it? ;)

[@nalley682]

thx for replying! xD well im young now and I gravitate towards this kind of adventurous life, but what keeps me back i guess is the thought that when i get married i want my kids to have an element of stability cuz i grew up traveling a lot and i had to leave friends and school, ..etc so it was very difficult, so what do u think?
