Been married forever. We raised 3 kids that are grown. We have never purchased new furniture or did any remodeling. We have the same 2 cars we bought in 2003. To us it isn’t a sacrifice. We appreciate what we have. When people tell me my house looks outdated it makes me feel proud. It’s still functional, it just doesn’t impress them. And I LOVE not impressing people. It’s the ultimate freedom.

I've lived on $1200 or less for 13 yrs. That includes medical and dental insurance. It's not hard. Rarely eat out. Only buy on sale and nothing I don't need or use. Roku box. Live in the country and that provides enough entertainment from the animals and a bonus is exercise. I shop 1 day/week making multiple stops so that saves on gas. Bought furniture I still love 35 yrs ago. Have solid color fabric on sofa and chairs and change pillows and throws out seasonally. I sleep peacefully at night knowing I'm totally debt free! ❤️

My Mom raised 5 kids on $100/wk child support, back in the mid-70's...$5,250.00 per year, with a mortgage. She had a job at a breakfast and lunch shop, and we had jobs as soon as we could. We got by w vegetable garden, day old bread products, oatmeal, honey, soups and thrift shops for goods. We knew hard work was the key to achievement. Being out in nature brings me great peace. I am content and owe no one, aside from regular monthly bills. My 2007 Honda CRV, purchased in 2013 w clean carfax record, 1 owner, serves me well and I'm blessed without the demon of debt breathing down my neck. My siblings follow the same format😊.

I live on $914 a month and it's just me here, I continue to find more ways to live on the cheap and bare minimum. What makes it hard is the cost of living going up so to mitigate that cost I am growing a garden, first time in over 5 years. It's all coming together slowly. Having less doesn't necessarily mean going without, it's very freeing and your soul will thank you. Love your channel, keep up the great work.

I really admire how you live within your income. When I was younger I really liked to work my last job was with the Feds for over 20 years. I liked to work overtime. I was able to support my kids well. They are raised and quite successful. I lived a lot like you, but I finally realized I'm in my 80s and I NEEDED TO SPEND MONEY! That was so strange and different for me. Finally, I got an Amazon Prime account. It was hard at first because I never used to spend much. I stay within my budget, but I have had so much fun. In the Church (we're LDS) I'm in charge of cleaning the Church building. I call about 25 families to help each week. Some show up I give them socks, toys, and treats for coming. It is so much fun, but like all good things I know it will come to an end.

It’s extremely scary to not have medical insurance. In 2006 I was in the middle of chemo. My short term disability ended. So did my job and my health insurance. Luckily I had long term insurance which provided some finances for the 9 months until I went back to work but I could not afford Cobra. Last year I qualified for Medicare and have a phenomenal advantage plan. I have no deductibles or copays other than $50 for a MRI or CT scan. I am thrilled beyond words to be back with Kaiser Permanente once again. It’s such a huge relief.

Was in debt, chapter 11 bankruptcy. Ever since then, I have stayed debt free. Unless it's an emergency and pay the bill asap. I want something I save my money. No cable, no satellite, no rent. I live in a camper and own my land. I pay utilities and my cell phone. I own my vehicles. I live a clean simple life and serve the Good Lord and Jesus. And I help addicts and homeless try to get into recovery centers and back on their feet. I try to share with them the less I have the less that controls me. And that is a blessing in itself. Have a great day and God bless.

Here’s one of my struggles that I have yet to find a “free” version for: I love working in coffee shops or chill bars/pubs/wineries, etc. I work from home often and live alone, and thus get “lonely”. Not that I want to interact with anyone, but appreciate being in the presence of others. I also like a nice coffee and small snack while working - helps with concentration for some reason. My local library, which I do use are part of my multiple work spaces, does not allow drinks and snacks. It’s also REALLY quiet, and lacks the coffee shop ambiance that somehow puts me into the perfect focused work sweet spot. I work with a laptop, so I do need internet, electricity, and a comfortable sitting space. Is it a “need?” Not in the traditional sense, but preventing burn-out and feelings of isolation are important for mental health. But yeah - it can get pretty expensive.

Totally agree -- live below your means - that's the key to future financial success. And I also agree - buying things does NOT make you happy in the long run - it'll last a few days tops (mostly the happiness disappears within the hour of purchase). It really is a sad state of affairs when people use things for happiness. I will admit - sometimes I did that - before pandemic - but that refocused me on what was TRULY important. I'm fortunate - I got to retire in 2021 (age 57 - I could have retired a year or so earlier - however, I just couldn't pull that trigger). Nothing beats the freedom! Wouldn't have been able to do it with a house at the top of a budget and a new car either purchased or leased every four years. VERY few could do that and retire early.

The last movie I saw was one of the Narnia movies - the one which took place on a boat. Some friends won tickets and treated us to a free movie. I sat with my eyes closed most of the time, because I felt seasick. It was so sad. Thankfully, our friends didn't notice my discomfort. I didn't want to make them feel bad.

It’s flip flops, T-shirts and Jean shorts🤣My free entertainment for me is volunteering at pet shelter walking mostly Cur 🐕 dogs in parks. Also enjoy going to all the springs around me which there is plenty to do. People can find things they just have to look and enjoy. Speaking of enjoying just loved your ideas 💡 ❤️

The last clip of this video captured what really makes life beautiful; spending it peacefully with loved ones or pets, or even taking time for yourself doing something you love. It’s not about the money 💜

I am not a super minimalist or crazy frugal, but we are the most frugal of anyone else we know. Luckily my husband and I are not spenders. My car is 11 years old (bought used with only 3K miles on it!) and still going strong. When I need to get a new car, I will buy used again. I rarely buy books and never videos, always from the library. I have to really like the book to buy it and I try to buy it used. No car payments and house to be paid off this year...YAY! We do like the movies but haven't gone but a few times in the last bunch of years. John Wick for $5 on cheap Tuesdays because sometimes you just gotta see it on the big screen! I am not, however, going to be so frugal that I have to jump through hoops to save a few bucks. Keep up the frugal good everyone! Thanks for your videos!

Badminton is played with rackets & birds. Your dogs look fantastic. At 61 yrs old I've finally found 2 friends who accept my frugal ways, no shaming or nagging me to be as much a consumer as the majority. Appreciative but wishing it happened sooner.

When you think of what is truly necessary if it didn't exist 100 years ago it probably isn't a true necessity. People lived thousands of years without items we think are essential. I am not saying that a person should limit themselves to the bare necessities, just be conscious that it is an add-on. When you look at what you do have instead of what you don't have it puts things in perspective.

When friends ask you on a boat, or over for dinner etc. how do you reciprocate? Assuming you do? Do you offer gas money, boating isn’t cheap. (I wouldn’t ask for money from anyone or expect it, but being asked is nice. Do you bring a nice dish to pass? I mean being frugal is good, being a good friend is priceless.

Happen to come across your videos and after watching a few I subscribed. I watched a video where you were addressing negative comments. I am in no way trying to match your lifestyle and I think anyone that criticizes you for it is seriously misguided or just misses the point of your channel. I find your channel very useful. While I know I cannot be as frugal as you I do see the benefits to tailoring my lfiestyle to meet certain financial goals. I am implementing a lot of what you suggest! I have a plan! If nothing else, your videos have made me take a dep dive into my own lifestyle and see where I am bleeding financially . I think twice now before buying anything and definitely am thinking long term investment as opposed to short term gratification. I hope you keep up the videos and definitely keep on not caring what others think. Your life works for you for your goals and that's awesome.

We don't really celebrate Christmas. We have a tree and meal, but exchanging doesn't happen. We celebrate what we have. He does renovations which are my gift. I make him special meals which are his gifts. We watch movies at home. Theaters are ridiculously expensive. You are absolutely right. My county has 8 libraries, the last I knew. We also have a bunch of parks.
