Biggest unexpected benefit of gong low buy for me was realizing how little amount of cash is really needed. That gave me the nudge to go freelance. Being able to choose clients and projects and move away from poor, situational corporate ethics has had a massive positive impact for 2021.

I think this is an unrecognized part of the ‘great resignation’ that is supposedly happening now. People are waking up to the fact that they don’t need all the stuff and would rather live simply than work for slave wages.

That's really amazing. I think people have a hard time realizing this because of loss aversion. You can see the cash you'd be missing, but not the feelings you'd be gaining by going low-buy

I’m 21 and I realised this year that if I don’t buy new clothes or shoes every other month, I did not die... I was shocked. My friends didn’t leave me, my self esteem did not fall. Not spending gave me more self- worth than all my stuff combined.

I love that you decided that eating out with your husband was a good thing to keep doing because of the bond time between the two of you. I’ve been getting rid of things and simplifying my life and you have really helped me realize that there are no rules! I couldn’t figure out how to do it before because there were so many “rules.” I have now minimalized and slowed my life down in ways that still allow for things I love, like bonding with my family. ❤️

Not working this year made me go on a low buy. It was hard, and it’s still hard, but I am finally investing in things I’ve always wanted to do like get my teeth fixed, and visit a dermatologist. I finally have almost enough to pay for these pricier things from avoiding buying so many small things over time. In a way it really helped me

The one phrase I remind myself of is: "You don't own things, things own you." It goes way beyond the actual cost of buying the item - the item always weighs on your mind or consumes your time to just maintain it. Indeed, we don't need much to reach happiness. Make sure that anything you buy is something that WILL be consistently used, and is ENTIRELY necessary. Failure to do this means you sacrifice your life energy (or money) for things that do not actually add value to your life ultimately. Congrats on your progress!

Wow, thanks for sharing. I really needed to read this. I know exactly what you mean when you say an item weighs on your mind. I need to break this pattern. I can think of all sorts of reasons to buy something, and in the end I wind up disappointed in myself because I don't use it as much as I should. It's mindset thing that needs to change.

Money spending addiction is probably one of the biggest issue for most people I think :( For my part I reverse that into a money savings challenge with as little as a single dollar up to five (5) dollars on certain currencies and over the year I saw big changes :) I make a commitment that if I can not do it with a huge amount of savings maybe I can do it small but consistency throughout the year and it works quite well for me...hehe :)

just popped into my feed. So glad to see more young people learning to be more intentional, even if just starting with money. Next move outside of yourself, restrict travel for infection control and environment, when planting a tree in the yard ask what all it can do for you(shade, shape, food) same for ornamentals, vehicles, housing, entertainment but make the focus not be money but how each of these choices make you feel. When you get much older and life pivots you will be much more prepared, but it isn't really about the money.

Once you stop wasting money on unnecessary things, you get to invest/spend it somewhere else that will benefit you more or give you more pleasure. Buying things can give you an instant rush of joy, but it does not last very long. Buying something that you do need or will benefit you continually will always be there to remind you of what a good decision that was. Good vid :)

Happy new year and all the best for 2022 ! 1 of the things you just mentioned was being able to get up and move whenever you want. After getting divorced 2 years ago I was left with a very small amount of things I own. Now after having spend almost 7 years in the US I have decided to move back to europe, and planning ahead I found the move shouldn't be too difficult since I kept my life very basic over the last 2 years. Also never have been a big spender has allowed me to prepare finanically. All the best with the new channel, I'll be sure to check it out.

I did a few no buy months last year but i actually started embracing that concept back in 2020 😄 It helped me to have a mindset shift in which i realized i do not need so many things and even if you're not making frequent impulse buys, your house can still accumulate clutter. So i decided to sell my preloved items and during the no buy months i kept the money for my saving. It was a beautiful experience. This time around i wanna make it a No Buy Year, only spending money on what's truly necessary / replaceable items ❤

I did it with you, Sophie. I can’t believe it’s already 300k! You deserve it, really. It’s impossible to imagine you as overly materialistic, but it’s probably why you‘re such a good teacher about all this. Great timing for your new channel. I did the capsule wardrobe with you, and I love it. I also saw my wardrobe transform. I have never experienced having so much ease with being able to dash out of the house, or pack to travel for any reason. We also eat out very deliberately, but only when we are out and about anyway. That’s something that I implemented a while ago. It’s very freeing to not waste money because society expects you to. Happy Holidays, thank you for everything this year!

I also made 2021 a low buy year based on your previous video. Fewer new clothes, less eating out, less going out (thanks to pandemic), less gas. Streamlining my life. My savings have grown and I have started investing more. I hope to continue in 2022. Happy holidays Sophie. I subscribed to your new channel. Can't wait.

Thank you for this video. I did not do a low buy this year since I thought my 2020 low buy would just carry over to 2021. Boy was I wrong! I went overboard with shopping on accessories. This time I will write out rules for my low buy year and hopefully create more mindful spending in my life. Thank you again for all your inspiration! I look forward to watching your videos on your new channel. Happy Holidays!

Gotta love this video. I get that living below that means is very important. Decided to save away for later years. Unfortunately, our society is so wildly obsessed with living way way way way above that means!! Our society has it all wrong - sadly to say. Living below that means is the only way to go!!

I knew you lived in Hawaii but I am pleased you are on Maui! My favorite island. I hear you with dining out. It’s a hard one to cut out of the budget but you made a good point, cutting out a joy with a loved one doesn’t make sense. I’m excited for your new channel! I’d love to see more day to day in hawaii. ( I hope to move there someday). I will go subscribe!
