I think it's super weird that people act like minimalism is a privlege. It's an excellent option for low income households. I agree the aesthetics are nice, but the true primary purpose is conservation. That can mean conserving the environment, money, space, all of the above. Everyone can choose to consume less, which is all it's really about

Hi. I was born and raised in a place, and time that we reuse almost everything. You said to give away the bath towels, when they are not good. I learned that we can use them as bath rug or a cleaning rag, depending on the condition of the towel 😊

If you really feel the need to consume, consume a service instead of buying an object. Get a massage or a facial, hire a personal trainer, hire someone to clean your house or do your yard work.

I found your site a couple of weeks ago. Since then there have been 3 or 4 purchases I was going to make and stopped myself. I used to practice minimalism years ago but kind of fell away from it. Now I'm inspired to get back to it. I know it will take me a while to sort though my stuff and decide what to get rid of. But stopping unnecessary purchases is something I can do right now.

I've been doing this since I left the family house....I started minimalism when I started living in my place....when I had my kids I made them a lot of their clothing . Now my children are adults and have their own kids....and they respect nature so they are ecological and minimalists.

Everything you say in this video is so true. For I while I tried to find my "consumerist profile" ("I will buy less of this but I will put more money into that") but I always felt weird and uncomfortable acquiring things I wanted but didn't really need. (And I have never even been a hug consumerist!) Since I decided I didn't need much, I feel much happier and calmer. And your videos reinforce that path. Thank you for expressing yourself so clearly and truthfully!

Thank you for another insightful video. The donate with respect tip is so important. I spent many years helping newcomers to my country. These newcomers were mostly refugees, international students and temporary foreign workers. Part of what I did was to accept donations of clothing, furniture, household items, school supplies, etc. that could be offered to these newcomers. There were very few people who donated respectfully. I feel like I could write a book on people and their stuff. There were a few people who made sure that their donated items were clean and useable but most people did not do this. I spent hundreds of hours laundering and cleaning donated items as well as sifting through to dispose of items that were truly garbage. There were things that were broken, things that were heavily soiled, very outdated technology and on and on it went. I think that the prevailing attitude was that those who were donating just wanted their stuff out of their space and at the same time wanted to feel good about themselves by donating to people in need.

Well said and so true.❤
Unfortunately people in advertising are brilliant and usually do their job well.😢
While I was trying to find a way to “treat” my illness, FMS/CFS, I discovered I was a minimalist at my core. That happened before minimalism was a real word in the western world.
My mother is Japanese and most Japanese do you live as minimalist dude. As most people know their homes are very small and they do not fill them with things that do not add value to their life. They buy things of high-quality and timeless style. That is simply their way of life.

Even though I grew up poor I realized very early in life that money isn’t easy to come by. One has to be very careful of what they purchase and why they purchase it.

Because I am disabled with FMS and CFS I have been trying to make my home calm, without “stuff” filling my home that adds nothing to my stresses.
Unfortunately I have been trying for three years to have my kitchen remodeled. The cabinets were literally falling off the walls since they were over 30 years old and poor quality. In the western world it is difficult for a woman to get quality workmanship from any tradesmen. It’s simply a man’s world and if I didn’t have my son to speak for me I wouldn’t be able to get quality work. Even my son is finding this to be difficult because he looks much younger than his age of almost 40. My son looks like he’s in his early 20s.
He hast to talk to me first before he talks to our contractors in order to sound like he knows what he’s doing and what he’s talking about.

My goals are simple:
*my home to be calm without clutter.
*never buy anything I don’t REALLY need.
*keep my home easy to clean even with my disability
*when I die my home will be easy to clean out for my son and he can keep only what he finds to be valuable to him.
*to keep my home calm, clean but inviting without “stuff”.
*to keep my home that will give me no stress, help my physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Right now my home looks like a storage unit filled with boxes from my kitchen and dining room. As well as cleaning out the bedrooms during this time of remodeling. That’s a slow process due to my illness but I will get there, God willing.
🙏🏻💖🎉
Thank you for your videos!❤❤❤

A great gift to ask for instead of material gifts is a donation made to an animal rescue or sanctuary. Takis Dog Shelter in Greece is a great one.

thank you for this video it help me clarify some stuff, I am a compulsive declutterer and just throw things then buy things without even thinkinb minimalism or anything it just got to the point thag Im disguisted with the cycle of waste time and money and also bothers me having stuff I dont need and I am learning more about my self that expirienced based life is the best wah than focusing on the material things Im also slowly going through low waste life not kinda zero waste but in a realistic way, I would like to suggest minimalism with colors !

Nothing annoys me more than when people say “I’ll just throw it away”. There IS no such thing as ‘away’. It will just be MOVED to another place on our planet. We have to all stop living like that!!

Haven't seen The True Cost but now I'm really curious so I'm going to see where I can find it.

I don't exactly have any rules, but I just buy if I really need something. For example: I needed really soft and comfortable bras last summer after I removed my breast implants. The bras I now have are of good quality and they'll last a very long time.

What I do need though is a pair of nice shoes if going to a nice restaurant. I did have a pair before but my feet has changed (an age thing I do believe), but I can't wear them anymore. So I've sold them. But finding nice shoes that are comfortable and versatile isn't easy. I've been looking since early spring. Lol!

Great tips and points! 👍👍👍💗🌹

Thank you for good advice which I hope lots of people follow. Would like to see a little colour in your bedroom perhaps a picture but of course entirely up to you. Love from England.
