I can imagine how great this makes him feel. I used to do this when i was travelling in europe. To save on flight cost, all that I need fits into a cabin size bag. I only have 3 sets of clothes, use and wash and repeat. I was surprised that I could live on only those stuff in my small bag for 2 months. I feel good about it.

I mean that’s great if to that guy this is freedom for him and it makes him happy but this definitely isn’t for everyone and wouldn’t make everyone happy and/or feel free. I don’t have a lot of stuff by any means. I grew up with hoarders and I’m actually pretty good at donating things that aren’t of use to me. That said I have what may seem like trivial things to most that bring me happiness and joy so I keep it around. Once it doesn’t I’ll get rid of it but for now they stay. My point is to say to each there own.

It’s good to have less but “less” is different for everyone and that less wont always make people happy.

To each their own can only go up to some extent. His lifestyle wasn’t inspired by living freely & happily- it was inspired by necessity (becoming educated about how damaging his lifestyle was), & that drove him to change. We are all benefitting from his extreme lifestyle (he is producing minimal waste & pollution). If we keep choosing to live ‘to each their own’; if we keep living as we are- it will not be sustained by the earth.

Decades later my father ran into him and he was still living that life and he asked him is he was happy and if he thought he made the right decision and he was like yeah. I can tell you to this day I know my father would rather have spent his life painting than doing medicine. Enjoy your life man. 👍

People have literally always judged you by your appearance and "stuff". When it was the 80s, it was owning certain brands and having a fancy car or boat, etc. When it was the 60s, it was the same. It may not have been brand specific, but it was still important to have the "right" clothes and a tv. In the 1930s, it was if you had a radio, and people still cared about their appearances. This is not unique to your generation. I know it's hard to not care if other people judge you when you're a teenager. But you can get to the point of just not caring and realizing what shallow people they sadly are that do. That part is your choice. It may not feel like a choice, but it is.

I agree with him when he says that we should be thinking realistically and even introspectively because “do the material things make you happy?” is a sentence that we should all ask ourselves several times in different stages of our lives. But, I think “50 items and under” is too drastic. I also think all of his money on his person and not having health insurance is TOO scary for me because my family always has something wrong with them medically (seizures, cancer, high blood pressure, traumatic brain injury, etc). He’s slightly insane to do this but he’s also enlightened to a point because he’s looking inside of himself to find his happiness. Edit: I personally believe that material objects and money don’t MAKE you happy but it helps you get there. It provides opportunities that you wouldn’t get if you didn’t have a certain material object or money.

You will feel more free with less of all the material burden 😌. So many people wonder how I could travel or similar things (because no financial support from parents etc.): I just kept some things simpler (but also not like him 😄). While others almost buy the drug store empty, I have one instead of 10 shower gels, instead of spending 35€ getting druck in one day I rather had a houseparty or did other great activities. Many people act so wrong when it comes to money. I know people who had actually more than I had but they had nothing mid month. Unbelievable for me 😟 (at least if you don’t have kids, I couldn’t adjudicate on that case).

Clothes, technology, identification, money, hygiene supplies are what he has. I have downsized as much as possible, but still have bedding, clothing, records, photographs, office supplies, cooking and drinking supplies, some religious items, sewing and crochet supplies, some medicines, toiletries, makeup, money, various identification, cards, and a book. I have categorized these into eight bags/satchels and cannot figure out how to make it smaller and still function, yet I hunger to, as if making it even simpler will set me free from confusion and the stress tied to what I own. I grow less capable of thinking clearly, and need for things to be simple in order to manage.

joking aside. the more you travel by air, whether for work or leisure... the more you get detached from the non-essential things and one bag travel becomes a necessary convenience. one thing i've noticed is the bulk of what's inside are clothes. so if you can stick with classic styles and stay away from ever changing trends, then a "wardrobe capsule" can drastically pare down what you bring and also result in saving a good amount of cash. for starters, look up "project 333".

The Stoics said that living like Diogenes the Cynics is the short path for virtue or a good life. Although the Stoics weren't as extreme as the Cynics, they still admired the courage the Cynics took to live deliberately in an extreme poverty or like a dog basically. We the common people can also see the person in the video and the other extreme minimalists with an awe and take inspiration from them to throw and to change some unnecessary goods and habits that we have. People living in extreme are there to be ideals that perhaps we will never emulate, but they are for us to learn. Cheers!

We sold our house but our new house wasn't ready, so we moved into my SILs basement apartment in 2008. Before we moved I got rid of about 98% of my possessions. I had read a book about downsizing and realized I was shopping "emotionally" if that makes sense. So I stopped. Now, over a decade later I have replaced~nothing. Not a thing. Everything I got rid of was superfluous. The one thing that I did agonize over was my cookbooks. I had over 350 cookbooks. My mum was a chef and I'm a darn fine cook so I started collecting cookbooks. I read them like novels. I loved them. But~I hadn't touched most of them for years. Now~if only my husband would do the same. If I weren't around I swear he'd be a hoarder! Our "spare" room is literally full to the doors with "stuff". You can imagine the discussions we have about that! We are seniors and I've explained that if he dies before me and leaves me with that mess? I'll dig him up and kill him again! Soooo frustrating. 😤

Bro, i also have drastically decreased buying non food items. Now basically using what i had already bought. The things produced used alot of slavery. Now since i have drastically reduced consumption, and am planting food seeds and uprooting poisonous plants on public land, my financial expenditure decreased greatly to having attained financial freedom given the money in my bank now.

Im really surprised at the amount of hate and mockery Im seeing in response to this vid. It's like people are scared he's trying to take their stuff away instead of being inspired by someone trying to show us stuff isnt as important as we think. He even says he doesnt think his lifestyle would work for everyone. I dont know if everyone is just that jaded or what's going on.
