How I Practice Financial Minimalism

Finances are a crucial part of life. They make or break our possibilities and decisions and can offer quite a bit of stress or security.
So how do I approach financial minimalism, how do I work, save, and invest money as a minimalist and what are the underlying money mindsets and values I follow to live a happy life :)

This video speaks to me personally as I took early retirement 9 months ago at 56 yrs old. I was able to do this even though my employer pension is not enough to pay for my monthly expenses, because I live a simple life and use savings to make up the rest. My expenses are low and I have the time to do all the things that I want to spend my time on at this time in my life. I pet-sit for my friends which give me a bit extra money which I use for savings and treats for myself. I am loving this chapter of my life and am happier than I've ever been. I don't worry about money as I have everything that I need and a few wants along the way. Thanks for sharing this aspect of your life Lia, much appreciated❤

Thank you, this video helped me remember that we all have to find that balance (between money, spendings, saving, hours of work..) that works for us. There's no "one right way" to figure things out. We have to make little adjustments until we find a balance that feels good to us, and even after that, we can re-adjust things again whenever we need it.

Very cute haircut. Frugal living is a great practical skill to have your whole life. And having an extra income will be a nice “cushion” to maintain your future plans, AND support your present life. Good luck!

Your rationale for getting another job makes lots of sense. You'll be doing something valuable and you can have a little more flexibility. No sense making yourself miserable to me a minimalist martyr. Love your content ❤

Thank you for sharing 💚 financial minimalism has given me so much freedom without having tons of money.

I understand not wanting to prioritise earning money, but it's a balancing act because investing while you are young and reaping the rewards of maximum compounding growth is an opportunity that you only get once.

I would love to hear more specific frugal tips.

Hi Lia. I’m very happy that you launched the podcast and I found it. It’s a real pleasure listening to you. Thanks for sharing you deep thoughts, they resonate with me. Thanks to the vlogs and podcast, I have a chance to get to know you as a person, not only as a minimalist. And you are a genuinely nice person.

02:00 I can really relate to the worrying about money and pushing tour creative side to its limit cos of finance - and how those drain you and leaves with even less.. good luck in your new job- many times it is just a relief to work for other people and if its a nice place even better

You travel to and from Switzerland a lot. I wonder where you live now? Germany? Anybody knows?

I’m all for reducing consumption….and I’m not referring to this woman in particular…but why do a lot of minimalist have tired, frumpy wardrobes…wardrobes that make them look messy. I want to reduce my consumption but still look polished and tailored
