Yeah I often remember a joke that I saw years ago: a sidewalk sign read "Come on in and save 50%." And the person said to himself, "Or I can just keep walking and save 100%.
So that helps me a lot...

I never understood how people can only wear clothes a couple times and be done. I'll be honest, I'm 23, and I still wear some clothes from middle school.

Everyone's talking about "minimalism is just the poor people experience" but in my experience that's the opposite of the truth, all the people I know that were poor, including my own family, were hoarders. The scarcity mindset will cause you to keep a lot of things you don't need. If you have access to donation centers, food banks, etc, it becomes even more of a problem. I had *thousands* of articles of clothing throughout my childhood, because I had access to donations!!!! We never could have afforded the amount of stuff that we hoarded, but because we got it for free or cheap, we kept way too much stuff. My father-in-law grew up extremely poor, he isn't anymore, but now he still has problems with hoarding. Minimalism is not just for poor people and a lot of poor people are not minimalist.

TIP: If something's on sale and you don't need it, it's expensive!

[biglittlebunny]

guess i'm accidentally minimalist by being poor.

Y’all are trashing her but honestly look how happy she is talking abt this, minimalism is very effective and a good way to a happy and healthy lifestyle.

I’m a guy so I have all in one: body wash, conditioner, shampoo, gasoline, whipped cream, dish soap, ketchup, mustard, lemonade, oil, WD-40, toothpaste, and glue. Very efficient

She is not attacking anyone. If you want to use a baby monitor, than go ahead. She is talking about herself and what she does and doesn't buy and that's it. Just appreciate her content for what it is and stop feeling offended.

[shy]

her: "i don't own useless decor" me, glancing over at my 100s of dollars of harry potter merch: yeah... me too...

[chanellaDaboss]

Something is so liberating about this lifestyle... It's all about shedding all the excess layers and finding what you really need in your life. It's a really personal journey.

[lucindaglover]

When you talked about getting rid of nail polish, I was literally sitting here painting my nails. ☺️ Because I like doing it and I makes me happy.
Just a reminder for all you guys watching, just because a does or doesn't do something, you don't automatically have to follow suit. 😉

[beatrizleite]

"this is just something that works for me, do what works best for you" she literally says that in the beginning of the video, you guys don't need to justify the things that you use or whatever she said that you don't agree with, please stop trying so hard to criticize, if you don't agree than just move on, she didn't ask you to be all like her.

[gyzswcx]

I really like how she said "it's good for *me* ".I love that she has her opinion on things, but doesn't push it on other people

Multiples: Wait until your kids grow and they take your pair of scissors and no one knows where they are 😤

I am a fan! However I did want to point out that most of these are lifestyle choices rather than minimalism. If you don’t like to watch TV, then not having a TV is not being minimalistic. It’s your preference! It also seemed like a lot of these have caveats. You like to decorate for Christmas, but not other holidays. That’s how most people feel... I don’t know any young person that decorate for Valentine’s Day or Easter etc. you like sea salt spray, but not other hair products. Most women like one or two hair products, but not others. Just an observation.

Video idea: some things you learned in cosmetology school

I could not live without a coffee table. That's where i put my coffee

[emmamacdonald]

In response to the “I’m minimalist because I’m poor” comments, if you think this is the case for you, I recommend you actually reflect on your relationship to material objects, and whether you actually understand the philosophy behind minimalism. My dad was poor up until his thirties; he had no disposable income at all for years, and couldn’t even afford to use the bus most weeks and had to walk hours each day to get to and from his jobs. But as soon as he finally got a decent, stable income, his spending skyrocketed and he started a life of hoarding.

I have a lot of anxiety thinking about the struggle my mom and I will go through after his death, trying to sort through all his stuff so she can downsize to an apartment. It will likely take 1-2 months of daily work to clear out their home of all the stuff he has accumulated. Thankfully, we will likely have the privilege to take that time to do so, so we can save what is actually important to us.

You might have thought he lived as a minimalist in his youth, but in reality he was just poor and desperately wanted to own many more things. You can be poor and a minimalist, and financial motivations are often what drive people to minimalism, but poverty is NOT minimalism. Minimalists feel a sense of satisfaction with what they currently have; most poor people do not feel that, justifiably, as they cannot afford to buy the things they really want, and often just accumulate things they can afford in the hope that that stuff will give them some joy in their oppressed existence.
