Being healthy and not having to impress anyone; to me, that's total freedom.

[trininy]

I got married to a man that I love so deeply, quit my job physical job that I had for 17 years, sold my 2 houses, relocated to a beautiful state where I can go to the woods everyday. My husband is not rich but doing well for his self. I don't have to work and he pays for everything. I am 50 and have never been happier in my life. Surprisingly, every women that I know, white and black, has been angry that I got married and changed my life so drastically. They wanted me to struggle in the system with them. Women told me don't get married and to hold on to everything. I did the opposite and found a simple love and a simple life that makes me so happy. I love caring and loving my husband. It is a joy.

Being out in nature and away from society is so peaceful.

I grew up with my mother constantly telling me “rich isn’t the person who has more, but the person who needs less”. There’s different ways to interpret this but it wasn’t until I was about 30 that I finally understood this saying. A similar quote that my father used to tell me is “the urge to buy will consume you”. Thanks mom & dad

My goal is to keep simplifying my life and become more of a minimalist 👍

You dont have to go to extremes living the simple life. Once you realize you dont need much in life to live comfortably it is so freeing.

Something I learned the older I get is A LOT of people need drama and chaos. I think they don't want to have to think about what is going on in the world or their past or something so they need to be involved in everyone's business and always need to be thinking about the next thing rather than sitting and like, just existing for a day.

Went to Ghana, bought a land, built my home, mortgage free, had a borehole installed so I have no water bill. Plan on getting some solar panels and starting my own micro enterprise selling items in a shop so I can really live on my own terms.

Finding peace should be the ultimate goal in this existence.

I enjoy driving the speed limit and often the car behind me is only 6ft away from my bumper and I think how grateful I am that I figured out that life is SO much better not being in a hurry. 😊

I'm 43 years old and am not married with children. My life has been hard enough trying to survive single. I don't own a house and rent a small room. A lot of people would probably think my life is boring. After all I've seen and done in life I'd say being bored is a luxury. There's no reason to complicate my life. If I had a kids and ended up divorced that would be a lot worse than my life right is right now. I've got a lot to lose too if I got married and divorced. My freedom is one of the most important things to me.

It seems life has turned into something like processed foods. Instead of just simply eating an apple it has to be boiled, puréed, add sugar, add preservatives and coloring, send it through a package line, and voila you have applesauce (and that’s probably a simplified version). I’ll just eat the apple, lol. I love your message. Simple is good!

In my teens/20s, impressing people with flashy stuff was almost an obsession with me, and it made my life incredibly stressful. About 20 years ago, I had a sort of "awakening" and I took a much more utilitarian approach to buying stuff and got rid of the BS. I only buy what I need and look at them as tools, not possessions. My phone and laptop are old, but they're still good communication/information tools. My car is old but it's still a good transportation tool. Everything in my life is equipment to help me, not flash to impress people. My life has been 1000% better since.

Whenever I've said that I really don't have much for goals or ambitions, most people have thought I'm being glib or self depracating. I'm not, I'm just content and I think our current culture is afraid of contentment.

I have lived a life of feeling worthless if I'm not busy. I'm finally letting that go. Your videos are helpful for this.

[AccidentalCarnivore-ulkg]

Growing up within the MATRIX has all of us brainwashed. We are educated to believe that materialism defines one’s worth. It’s difficult to dismantle all of that rubbish that I was programmed to believe. 😢

This man knows the truth. Most people will never accept that truth.

Tim- I did it. I’m 95 days sober!! You’re a part of my journey. I got the water always on deck from you!

One of the few people offering a decent solution to our terrible societal problems.

Since becoming debtfree, selling the house of fifteen years, in the throes of simplifying my life. I live below my means. Drastically cutting hours at work. I'm looking to volunteer to feed the hungry again as of tomorrow. I just want to eat healthy to reverse type two diabetes and travel international once a year. Collect small plants. That's simplicity to me.🌅
