Shopping second hand, cooking at home, and not subscribing to multiple streaming services. Also we recently sold our house to be rid of our mortgage. We plan to build a tiny house and live mortgage free with reusable energy to cut bill costs. It's not for everyone of course, but it's been our dream for years! 🚪

Meal planning is such a game changer. I started doing it when I realized I'd come home from work and because I didn't plan ahead and thaw something out, we'd just go out to eat. We were going out WAY too much. Not only is it cheaper, but it's healthier too.

I'm not looking to be a minimalist, just let go of the thneeds we've gathered, and strive to fill this smaller space with only that which gives us joy. Thanks for the inspiration.

I learned this from my dad, so I can't take all the credit... but, he always said if something is broken fix it! It is often way cheaper to fix a broken item than it is to buy a whole new one. Seems obvious, but I see my friends/family throw things out and buy new all the time. Try to fix it first, its already broken so why not at least try!

🚪all of these suggestions are good ones. I’ve sold household items on Facebook marketplace, and as an artist, I’ve sold things at craft fairs. Also, as an artist, I work at it every day now that I am retired, I recently organized my things and was amazed at how much stuff I have. (Dhhhh…..I do it every day, of course it accumulates!) I am good at making things, but not so good at marketing. Craft fairs are a limited option for me due to my age and abilities. I’ve set a goal for myself to be more proactive in trying to market. This was an encouraging video. I am happy to say I have finally become debt free, I mindfully thrift, and declutter and take advantage of free activities. The one thing I do on a regular basis is go out several times a week to practice sketching or whatever art challenge I give myself, and I combine that with a small lunch and visit with friends. My life happiness is so improved. Your videos are always so meaningful. Thank you. 💕🚪

I immediately invest every penny after replenishing my basic accounts to my set standards ($500 for 2 weeks and about $3500 for all monthly bills+ 1 month worth of emergency). This way I never spend more than I have set as my standards. I put away about $40k in investments when I had really crappy jobs over the course of a decade. When I got a good paying job, I kept the same standards and just kept investing. Now it’s about $90k after about 3 years and includes when I was laid off during covid for several months. Getting use to not spending money means I often never get to less than $200 for 2 weeks.

My husband and I have talked of him retiring in 3 years. But when we realized that his retirement plus social security would be about $100 less if he retires now, plus save on $150 a month on gasoline, we decided to look at it we could do it now. (He's under a great deal of stress, working the job of 3 supervisors in his own.) I told him we needed to do a month of no-spend. We still have our allowance, and there is one tool he still needs in his workshop. But we've only spent $3.21 eight days into the month. And it was something we were going to pick up at sometime, but for 3-5 times the cost.

All very good points. My husband and I made saving a priority years ago and I am so grateful we did. We weathered several job losses, having kids, and finally when I got ‘retired’ from my career job we figured I didn’t have to return if we stuck to our budget. Since then I have taken up art and I am very happy. One tip I would add is asking a financial advisor or researching how much you really need to retire. I worked with so many people who stayed on years more than they should have because they were afraid to let go of their pay check.

🚪Hi! I've always had clean space around me, and I really enjoyed cleaning since I remember. I lived in a big house with my family and there was always a lot of space for things. Because of that I never really realised I was drowning with things I didn't need or used in years. From my old toys, books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, to clothes etc. I'm now in my 20s and no longer live with my parents, but I have some things in my old room. Thanks to your channel and videos , I managed to declutter my old stuff (or actually my current home and my old room!), I sold and donated so many things! I'm was so happy that my old and unused things made someone else happy. I'm also more conscious while buying new things and gifts for others. Thank you so much for your content! I feel much happier and lighter now.

Our 2 boys have appetites of grown men and since we prioritize clean and organic food, we have a large grocery budget and buy a LOT of food. We don't waste anything, but I've sort of given up watching food hauls because they either feature low quality/unhealthy foods or assume kids have small appetites. Be the change Marissa!!

I'm in the opposite situation, lol. My spouse and I do not have credit cards or other "commercial debt," which we've always been proud of. He's been working on his credit with a small personal loan for a new computer, which he recently paid off, along with his student loans. Then we had to replace our car at the beginning of the summer (after a series of vehicles over the last 12 years that had each cost under $2000 US cash, but over time have left me stranded, late to work, stuck in snow, stalling while driving, unreliable, or spun out on the freeway in a blizzard, etc) finally decided to bite the bullet and buy "a grown up car" with a service plan; first time we've had a car payment in about 15 years and I hate that feeling. Skip ahead to September, and the house we've been renting from family, well... they've decided to sell it; either we buy it at a good discount, or it goes on the market and we move out. ugh. So here we go into the scary housing market when the mortgage rates are sky-high and the timing with our credit history is not good. Wish us luck! 🚪 But on the bright side, I had started decluttering in July so that's kind of a weird, ironic bonus, I guess. I initially started downsizing for our mental and emotional health/wellbeing, and so we could organize the storage area in the house, which had become a dumping ground. Now it the process has a different purpose, and a timeline. yikes!

One "bad habit" I've dropped is spending on books. As a minimalist, I dont have any physical books (honestly the convenience of reading on my phone if I'm out and about, or iPad at home has me sold), but I used to buy TONS of books - I love reading! Bad day? New exciting story! Just accomplished something? New book! I have changed to a wishlist system. So basically if I hear about a book that I really want to read - I check my library first (they have an online library with kindle compatible books), and if the library doesn't have it, I'll put it on my wishlist. I'll periodically go through my wishlist - sometimes the books get discounted to free, or just to make sure these books are still something I want to read (Marie Kondo said something about letting go of books you haven't read because it wasn't the right time... I think of this wishlist decluttering in the same vein as a lot of what she said about books). I feel like now I spend next to nothing on books, but spend so much more time reading! I bought 4 books last year.... and read 72 books! I'm at 23 books read so far this year!

Re the wardrobe. I don't own an iron or board. These days if it really needs ironing I won't buy it, but usually I handwash "good clothes", often in the shower with me. I then drip dry them. I'm in Australia so this is easily doable. I have a special hand painted shirt that's lasted forty years--and yes I *do* wear it! Even "fast fashion" often doesn't wear out if you do this, particularly if you put clear nail polish on button backs, and wax or soap on zippers when they first get sticky. I recently had a woman literally pursue me through a shopping mall to ask where I'd got my outfit. She got quite offended when I told her but then I added it had been twenty years ago (it was from a franchise chain that still exists). She wouldn't believe me. Usually these days I buy thrifted and often end up donating stuff back, in good condition; this has made me a clothes hoarder, because I have heaps of closet space and I'm not bothered by clothes as clutter --i think I've still got less than a lot of people though. Fun story...my younger son was eight years old when he saw me get out the ironing board. Looking greatly puzzled he said," What are you doing? What's that thing?" Not so fun story...he's now thirty and whilst at University paid heaps at an alteration service to get buttons sewn back on...because he'd never seen me do it, so assumed it was difficult!! . And no, none of his friends, male or female, knew how to do it, although a few vaguely said things like *My grandma does that button stuff" Luckily I was able to convince him I could take hems up, and I taught him that and replacing buttons before he spent more money. It seems that common sense and frugal living fit under the minimalism umbrella.

I strive to be a minimalist. Even though it may take me long time to declutter/sell all of the things I no longer need or want I know I am on my way to more of a clutter free home and space. I just sold 8 lengths of curtains that I will be shipping out tomorrow. I got back all the money I payed back in 2016 (ish) and the buyer payed money for the shipping (of course). There was a 50% sale back then when I bought them. The funny thing is that there was a 50% sale on the exact same curtains in the exact same store where I bought them in the first place at the same time the buyer bought them from me. So the person who bought them from me could have gotten brand new curtains from the store for the exact same price And saved their shipping costs.. I've been lucky a few times, and this was definitely one of those times. I am happy to have been able to sell them, and last but not least I'm happy I got all my money back.

Great video! Thanks! We have a little credit card debt and I hate it. Our house and one of our cars is paid off so we don’t have a lot of debt overall but I hate the credit card debt so this is helpful. I’ve already stopped buying a few weeks ago and it feels amazing!

I think there is a goos argument for saving a few months expenses in case of emergency, so then you dont go back to spending on CC. @The Financial Diet does a lot of good takes on this point.

Im not even 18 yet but I'd like to help my parents declutter our home because it is wrecking our family. since no one wants to help clean because it takes so long. So I think that after we declutter our home it will only take a few minutes to clean.

Beautiful moneyhacks. And i love all your content here. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your life with us this way. There is one thing that changed my life and in wich i disagree a bit on one of the rules and that is: buy secondhand. Secondhand stuff hold former owners energy in them. Brrr. I want things new and fresh. Even in my own home i let go of things because they were filled with my formerlife and style vibrations. Threw them away ( would not give anybody my old problems 😊).

You mentioned one of my rules, but I think I can say it in fewer words: "Good enough is good enough." For example, if I enjoy the taste of the $1.29 house brand soup as much as the $2.49 name brand soup (or can make it just as enjoyable with a couple of pennies' worth of seasoning), then I buy the less expensive "no-name" soup. I also regularly make compromises; if there's a real difference between a less expensive item and its more expensive counterpart, then what other preference (or purchase) can I put aside to make up the difference? Even when I splurge, I try to go with better value for my money -- for example, my family recently figured out that if we're having food delivered on those "too exhausted to cook & clean up" days (we're dealing with a medical situation that makes them a lot more common than they'd ever been before), then a 30-minute round trip drive to the "expensive" Chinese restaurant we all like will net us enough "real" food for 8 or 9 good-sized servings as will a call to have soup & sandwiches for 4 delivered to the house.
