Why I'm So Frugal

4 Important Reasons & Sharing Frugal Living Struggles ✌️

Why I'm Extremely Frugal / Hello wonderful people!

In this video I talk about my frugal living journey, how I started to live frugally & why I still keep doing it 🌱

For me frugal living, simple living & minimalism go very much hand in hand. I want to be intentional on what I buy and not waste money, time & resources.

In recent times I've also started to incorporate slow living into my lifestyle, which has made me realize so many benefits regarding frugal living.

All this, I of course share in the video. Hope you enjoy it! 🤗

"I don't want to lose time to save money" That's the wisdom of the year. Thanks for this truly inspirational video. Greetings from Bristol, UK.

You are lucky to live in Finland. I live in the U.S. and over here if you get sick you are doomed financially. I am a minimalist and very frugal however due to having a kidney stone a few years ago and my insurance not good enough even though it was half of the cost of my rent, I’m in debt up to my eye balls. Not fair at all, but it is what it is. Stay in a country where you don’t have this problem.

My wife and I just made the bold move of selling everything we own that didn’t fit in four travel bags and moving to a new country. We had 32 years of accumulated “stuff” including a house, car and many other big ticket items. Now we are nomad living for a while and we are, essentially, forced to stay minimalist. We did bring cooking items like our favourite pans and coffee presses as well as clothes and some things that would be hard to get here but it made us really think about what was important. Now every purchase is thought out as “want vs need” and if it’s a need, can we do something else.

This is a whole different way of life.

On the top of the list of important is food so we first find the local butcher, market and stands that have what we need. We stick with local so fruits that are in season locally, meat that is not imported.

Do you like to buy your clothes 2nd hand? 🌱

Are you surprised to learn a 71 year old retired woman in Seattle, WA, USA loves your videos and finds them very supportive, encouraging and inspiring? You speak to so many things I have wanted and learned for myself over my lifetime. I'm now a subscriber and will continue to watch and encourage others to watch your videos too! I also have some ideas for you to address in the future...

[jayabhat]

Hats off to you. You are an amazing young man. Don't ever feel guilty because others laugh at you. Stay focused in your journey. You are free to choose the way you want to live. It is none of their business. I am an old woman I live a similar lifestyle but never apologise to anyone for that. In fact I love to be different from the herd.

Most people can’t live within their means. What you’re doing is great!

[CarolinaSainz]

Ever since I discovered your channel I feel more and more identify with what you share. People look at me like I'm a weirdo for buying second hand (in Spain is like saying you're poor) but I'm actually the one thinking: what are you waiting for? Is a great opportunity to give an extra life to something instead of just throwing it away. Thank you for sharing!

Your friends are incorrect, you are not "cheap", you are extremely wise. You are so right about saving for an emergency, or for a last-mi ute chance to travel. Experiences are so much valuable than materials items.
In my past, I have not been responsible with money, but I am trying hard every day to make smarter decisions and to minimalize. This video really inspired me, thank you.😊😊

I am so glad to have come across this video and to realize that there are people like me who too exists in this materialistic world where everyone has a consumerist mindset. I really admire your style of living and how you have the guts to think and live differently. Much respect 👌

Young people are going to save the world. You are the perfect example. All the very best to you on your journey. Greetings from Chicago!

[viraprofazi]

Why do you have so few followers? Anew subscriber and like you content. Keep up! Hoarder turned frugal and loving it. Feeling financially secure is priceless, especially after years of stupid chronic broke.
Cheers from Vienna!

People around me usually don't approve the frugal stile of living I live, and this fact disconnect myself with almost all. I was struggle with this, but I decided that I want to live my life, not others....

[SC.......]

This video was like a breath of fresh air. It's so hard to find someone who wants to live the same lifestyle 😔

[davidgreenhough]

I was very inspired how frugal you live is also saving our planet that is being so abused by many .
I used to live in a town close to three large Cities, now I live in a small town in Wales UK with no Cities and and big stores for miles around. My quality of life is much better now as I don't spend ridicules amount of money's and just enjoy the simple life around me that is free . We could all learn a lot from you it's not rocket science. Keep up with your videos maybe one day people will wake up.

Living frugal doesn’t mean you have to be poor. In fact this video does a great job of pointing that out. He talks about having enough for the things he needs, and not having to sacrifice the things that are important to him. If you want to live in a house and a house cost a million dollars trust the money will show up. Buying a million dollar house does not mean you suddenly buy junk you don’t need or stop making conscious decisions. Sometimes tons and tons of money is required for a experience you want to create for yourself but you can still be frugal you can still be you. That’s the beautiful thing about this video. Being poor sucks no one wants that and yet many of us think the alternative is vanity and that is simply not true. You could spend a billion dollars on something that helps the world and that could be the most aligned and frugal thing for you. Be yourself don’t get distracted by money but don’t hinder yourself by choosing a poverty mindset. Great video!

I am so happy to have come across this video, so much of it resonates with me, and the most i can resonate with is how hard it is to explain to the people around me that this really isnt cheap or stingy, it is truly a thin line that has been super difficult to explain. I find my sisters for example eating out almost every single day, each spending more than 400$ a month on eating out, and it just doesn’t give me the satisfaction I long for, I love homemade food and all the energy it gives me, the love and care I or my mother can put in the food. And so many times i have to refuse to go to a restaurant only to hear the words ( stingy or cheap). Thank you so much for this video, at last I feel it might be easier to explain!

[dorisrougvie]

Love watching how people live frugally try myself, trying to declutter, find it hard as I don’t feel it’s holding on, love having option of various items, first time watching from Glasgow Scotland

The line between frugal and cheap is being frugal affects you, being cheap is when you negatively affect/burden others.
