☆ Magic ☆ My new fav Free no consumption hobby is picking up trash/litter outside. It is fresh air, great exercise, inspiring and saving the garbage from the inevitable distination, the ocean.

[@livelikeliz]

That is an absolutely fantastic hobby 😊 I'm really happy there are people like you in this world 💕

[@Dormousedreamsofcheese]

I was going to scoff at this video, because underconsumption seems to be just as much much of a money generating trend for youtubers as any fashion fad. But then you said "buying stuff is not a shortcut to build the life we want for ourselves" and that touched a nerve. Gives me something to think about for the coming year.

[@livelikeliz]

Wow, this is a really lovely comment - thank you ❤️ Yeah, it's always a bit of a double-edged blade with those KZbin trends - I completely get what you mean. So happy you found some inspiration to take away from this video 😊 All the best to you for 2025 ✨

Don't tell anyone, but I have been using the same purse for about 30 years, the same dozen tops for 15 years, and had the same car for 20 years.😊 I have never been in debt.

[@livelikeliz]

Oh, I might actually tell someone because it's seriously cool and something to be proud of 😊 It feels really good to see there are people here who consume mindfully and sustainably ✨

Best thing I did: I never had a spending problem, but I finally bought a cheap notebook and kept track of every dime I spent for an entire year. I just wanted to know exactly what I needed to live on. At first it was a nuisance to record every bill, every food purchase, but then it became an easy habit. I learned so much.

[@livelikeliz]

Absolutely - it really helps to keep track of our spending habits! I really admire you for taking the time to record everything 💕

[@Rita-cm7zc]

Hi Liz thanks for sharing this video. You are absolutely right about the spending behaviour. I am 70 years and don't need a lot of stuff. I have 2 pair of winter shoes and 3 pair of summer shoes of good quality and they last for years. This summer i made some nice dresses out of trift store bed sheets. I love to knit and crochet and that makes the rest of my outfits .My wardrobe is completely self made they last long is unique and I enjoy the work. See you next time. Greetings dear Liz 🌷💟🇾🇪

[@livelikeliz]

My dear, you are really my rolemodel in this regard. I would love to someday be able to make all my clothing myself 💕 Thanks for watching and all the best to you for the new year ✨

[@pangolin_7791]

I'm very glad to see You again.!

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much 🥰 So happy to be back!

[@mtlicq]

Already started. I used to go to the zoo to look at all the wild animals (in captivity of course); Now I just go to the stores to just LOOK AT the wild prices, for my amazement and amusement. (Disclaimer/ P.S. - Anything I really need, I PAY for it, of course.)

[@livelikeliz]

"Wild prices" describes it perfectly 😄

[@davidprice1356]

Hi Liz, nice to see you are back with those words of wisdom you are so very right about. Thank you and hope we hear much more. How is the house coming along?

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much 💕 Making a lot of progress on the house - there will be an update video on the house soon 😊

[@sueflay79]

Your videos always feel like a breath of fresh air.

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much 💕 So happy to hear you enjoy them!

[@tugbatugce2092]

Last year I promised not to buy more pens and notebooks but I couldn't keep it. I intend not to buy pens until I run out in 2025. By the way, your shots and tone of voice are fascinating 🥰

[@livelikeliz]

OMG I'm guilty of that too 🙈 pens and notebooks are sooo beautiful! I still have so many beautiful notebooks I got when I was in school and didn't even get around to using THAT MANY NOTEBOOKS 😄 Thank you so much 🥰

[@davebruins8623]

Yes...a new video... LOVE IT! Thanks. Oh...how is the renovation going?

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you for stopping by! 💕 The renovation is going well and there will be an update video soon! Not moving in without you guys!

[@harriettebarnette2414]

I'm trying to buy less clothing. Love to go to second-hand shops. I'm a quilter, have tons of fabric, use up what I have first. 😊

[@livelikeliz]

Love it, that's what I try to do as well 💕

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

I'm trying to buy less fabric remnants and use more of what is in my stash. The only things I've been going out and spending the big bucks on are replacements for what the moving van thieves stole from me and my partner on the last weekend of december 2023... so were talking mainly furniture books and kitches essentials. The 40 years of gifts from renfaire folks can not be replaced... but new memories can be made.

[@livelikeliz]

I'm so so sorry to hear that! How did that happen? It's particularly sad if items don't even have much monetary value to the thieves but had a lot of sentimental value for you. Sending lots of love 💕

[@mayhem424]

Where have you been, my crush? Happy you're back in time for a new year

[@livelikeliz]

Haha awww 💕 Life kind of got in the way but I'm trying to get into a regular uploading schedule again for the new year ✨

[@gojiberry7201]

Me too, I'm doing this! Or not doing this, I mean, you know what I mean.

[@livelikeliz]

😄 This comment made me laugh! Happy to hear that 😄💕

[@angelaa.7352]

My problem is the grocery store. I spend more there then I need to.

[@livelikeliz]

Ohhh I'm sure many of us know that problem 😄 Then part 2 of this video will be perfect for you 🥰

[@martindurkin8837]

Oh, Liz, where have you been? I am heading to bed but will catch . up later today.

[@livelikeliz]

So happy to see you here! 😊 I'm doing great, I was just quite busy this year and didn't find enough time to film and edit. But trying to upload regularly again in 2025! ✨

[@allon33]

I search for the kingdom of God. 💛

[@livelikeliz]

What do you imagine it to look like? ❤️

[@allon33]

@@livelikeliz It is neat and organized and the buildings are a golden colour. Everyone is kind to each other, and everyone is working to improve life for the morals down on Earth. The Angels are often singing, and they give each other lots of hugs. 💛

[@livelikeliz]

@@allon33 That sounds wonderful 🥰 I always try to create a place like that in my own little world for the people around me 💕 That would be my dream.

[@rakadoni8403]

I enjoyed the first few minutes but I think most of the video is targeted towards a very specific audience who tries to keep up with trends. That's not me at least

[@livelikeliz]

That's a good thing 😊 Thank you so much for stopping by 💕

[@white_clover767]

Telling US to go no buy after you make a video about it, showing off an entire new bought wardrobe and set of props, in a particular aesthetic, that we all know you definitely didn't own before, is a bit cheeky, isnt it??

[@livelikeliz]

What are you talking about?

[@mtlicq]

Bot ? Your comment must be about a different video. Or tell me a time-stamp where you see _"showing off an entire new bought wardrobe"_

[@livelikeliz]

@@mtlicq Haha, exactly what I thought 😅
