Just curious...would you be interested in a more in-depth video on how we practically run our finances?

Thanks so much for watching! 🤍

The borrower is slave to the lender. Love it.

I also went the college route to “please” my parents. If I were to go back I’m not sure I would have taken the same path. However, I did meet my husband at college so it worked out in other ways. As always, thank you so much!

This resonates with me. I’m on a journey to living a more intentional and slow paced life. I tried minimalism but I found myself too caught up in the “aesthetics” of minimalism and obsessed with “quality over quantity” to the point of getting rid of perfectly good and usable items just to buy better quality.
There is nothing wrong with wanting either of these but for my own personal experience it ended up costing me more than freeing me from my possessions. And I realized that while I do like owning a little less, I don’t like blank walls and empty spaces.

Love this.
I live in TX we just sold our v large home, downsized about 60% of our life. Sold our extra car, and I quit a very toxic job bc now we have no debt.
Learning more and more slow/minimalist and I love this channel to help with ideas and guidance.
Thank you!

I just want to say THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE’s JOURNEY!!! Especially putting God into it every now and then. You are very inspiring to me in every way, from parenting to minimalism to saving money to being a Christian and sharing it all and how you do it. I found you by wanting to learn about decluttering but the way you live your life is a great example to follow. Thank you and blessings to you and your family ❤

[JoyForney]

PREEEAAACCCHHH!!! As someone much further along on the journey, and as someone who lives overseas following our calling, I can only scream yes and amen!! Well done Madi! :)

I am 47 years old with three kids (youngest is 14mo.) and your videos and your truth are changing my life. Thank you.

The ONLY minimalist finances video I've ever liked (and didn't bore me to tears). 😄 thank you for such a beautiful, refreshing channel. 🤗💓

[jenniferconrad]

@madisungray I think it is a beautiful thing you had this "who's life am I living" moment at your gorgeous young age. I have had that question on and off for a long time and now I am actually listening to it. Your videos and book recommendations are a big help.

Yes! I love all of this! Just found your channel and am obsessed!! I love the idea of small home living with a family, our family home is 1600 sq ft and while not large i often hate all the space! The only thing that ever keeps me from selling it is it’s on our dream property (40 acres secluded with a private lake and lots of woods for my little boys to roam in) and the fact it is a super cheap mortgage (600/month) bc we bought it in condemned condition and spent 10 years fixing it up and cash flowing all the updates. But I often tell my husband I would love to just have us live in a tiny home on the property since I would have less space to clean 😅 normally he and everyone I tell look at me strange for saying that. But truly I want to be burdened by so much less and I don’t want to keep up with the joneses in our neighborhood as their houses seem to get larger by the day! Seems like such a nightmare for me. Thank you for being a peaceful, calming and inspiring life. Your presence definitely helps my days that are filled with overwhelm.

I just love your channel. I love how real you are and it's not all about the "minimalism aesthetic". Your words are real, your voice is real, I just really enjoy your videos and your outlook on life. Thank you for being you and for sharing your journey in an honest, relatable way <3

I don't know what it is with your videos, dear Madisun, but I always feel them so close to me and my current season... my husband losing his job and me trying to work all day long in the meantime, trying to take care of our kids... I felt so miserable...I was never present...
I didn't have the courage to follow our dreams as a family...
Now that I just had our newborn baby, and I can't work, I realized how little we need... food and bills... nothing else!!! The rest is esthetic!
So much truth in your words!
Thank you Madisun! I'm following my dreams with my little channel while I get to be home with my babies!
Thank you for all of the encouragement we can all find here!💝

[blocksandtulips]

Good for you!
I’m amazed at how young you are and yet have so much wisdom!!

[Nea_B]

Hey Maddie! I just recently found your channel and I love your cozy videos. They bring me a lot of joy! All the best to your family!! 🌼💛 I'm a minimalist from Finland, living in the country side with my American husband and two dogs, where we enjoy similar slow living. 🌿

thank you for your inspiration, message, and testimony. you speak from heart, we can feel it and it gives me emotion. I dream to be more free of all too :) i started by quitting a job I could no more stand and live quite frugal and minimal in general. so I could do that step, and your testimony is an inspiration to keep going, thank you 🙏🌟😘✨ love from France 🌎😘💕

[caroleecole]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your video! I can identify with so much of what you have wanted to do with my life! I found myself loving my work, but hating my job (sounds contradictory, but is really the result of doing stuff contrary to your inner being way too long. Anyway, keep going! You're on the right path....so glad you are young enough to enjoy the benefits of your will be 80 in a few months and have to get rid of all the "stuff" I though I needed but didn't need me!

[star_fossil]

Love your videos, but I get wigged out hearing your littles calling out to you in the background because I always think it's my littles calling me haha

[wholesomeseason]

😍😍😍 boy this video was exactly the confirmation we've been hoping for!! Following a path unknown is the theme we're on 🙏🙏🙏 All the best ♥️

[madison_hudnall]

Hi Madison! I was wondering what steps you take to homeschool your kiddos? Are there things that you legally have to do, etc.
Found your channel just a few days ago and I love it so much. Thank you for everything 💕
