I stopped buying a lot of clothes because it's not a major need and sometimes there will be clothes that are not worn often which means it's a waste of money when you can be saving that money.

My miminalist journey startet just a few months ago, but to this point I quit exactly the same things like you (I just found your channel a few days ago). But there´s another thing wie changed: We made our bathroom nearly plastic-free by making our own soap. We still use liquid soap for hands and washing (because it is less messy with three kids), but there is only one brand we still use. We buy a 3 Liter Container twice in one year (HAKA Neutralseife Liquid, I don´t know if you can buy it in the US). Me and my daughters have very sensitive skin, my youngest had severe Neurodermitis, and all the problems are gone with changing our washing routine. Many greetings from Northern Germany!

I watched Minimalism back in 2015 and it immediately changed my life. I started getting rid of all the stuff made in China and I unearthed I had beautiful things from my family line, much made by my ancestors. The sheer weight as I began to rid of the junk of all my impulse buying over the years blew my mind. So heavy. Then in 2019 I moved into a tiny house. I am mindful of every purchase I make. If I buy anything that’s not consumable, something has to go. As a former shopping addict, I have completely transformed my life and it’s been an amazing journey! I stopped feeling the need to buy allll of these things to fill a never ending void and treasure what remains and stay in gratitude for what I have.

Oh and I stopped buying dryer sheets filled with microplastics and use wool dryer balls with a drop of essential oils on instead. I also use Nelly’s laundry soda and it lasts for months. Ditched all the cleaning products and use only vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil and small amount of dish soap.

One thing I really connected with in this video is that spending more on certain items often helps you SAVE more. I’ve been saying this for years, but many just don’t seem to get this concept. Quality items last so much longer than cheaper, mass produced options and often save you money in the long run.

When I buy gifts to my family, I think of things I know they have the use for and not really regard the money between them as one gift may be more priced than the other, but they are both still nessecities that they need, like a new pan for my brother which was maybe twice the price of the earbuds I got for my sister also due to them being on sale and I knew she needed new ones. And a hat for my nephew that he will grow into and use, but with quirks that may remind them of me. Or else I could give them all money which is just boring if we just hand money back and forth to eachother, so is buying wierd stuff they probably wont ever use.

I think it really depends on the person what it would be wise to cut back on. Case in point: I am an avid reader. And by avid, I mean it isn’t unusual for me to read more than 100 books a year. Could I just read ebooks? Yes. But I also struggle with anxiety, and staring at screens too long makes it worse. That leaves physical books. I have a dedicated library in my house. Every book I own is well cared for, organized, and read (and reread). There may come a day when I don’t want to maintain a large book collection… but I don’t see that happening any time soon. On the other hand, I don’t drink coffee at all. So for me, buying anything coffee related is a waste of time and money.

@Demi.1133 5 ай бұрын

Minimalism is not for everyone. If you like buying things that make you happy by all means, buy it and enjoy it. But for me too much stuff becomes overwhelming. I sometimes forget that I have things, I get scatter brained and I find myself getting bored quickly once I buy too many things. Minimalism was a spiritual and mental health decision for me. I’m more peaceful and I appreciate the simpler things in life. I can honestly say my quality of life has changed for the better.

I use a cheap phone carrier, use black socks, I have more than one pair of shoes because I live in a city/region with seasons that get extreme weather that will require special footwear for health and safety purposes. I don't own a car because the public transportation in my city is reliable and cheap. I shop at the thrift for most housewears and most clothing (except socks undergarments). I can't say I'm a true minimalist however, I try to be sensible and frugal when it comes to shopping and budgeting for my lifestyle.

And I'm doing that with all the other items, my tv is 20 years old but still working (I'm not watching much tv anyway). Also I don't have a car, I ride my bicycle to work every day (30 min).

I'm with you on the rule about games on your phone.... I always get addicted, and I always spend money... it's a running joke in our family that Mommy doesn't have games on her phone bc she has no self-control with them! I also deleted Amazon app from my phone! I think knowing your weaknesses is half the battle!

@tigua972 5 ай бұрын

After awhile that those small amounts of money add up. Not to mention these phone games don't have any ending, they can go over 1,000 levels. 😮

I used to cut my husband's hair and kids hair some friends hair as well. That all stopped when they saved money and I had to pay quite a bit for mine cause everyone else could not would not even try.

I had to watch Meredith’s video first ❤. I’ve stopped buying supplements as I wasn’t seeing any benefits after using them for a few months. I’ve also stopped buying a new phone every year. I have an iPhone 12 which will probably last at least 2 years.

Your hair looks great. In the past 20 years I only got 1 professional hair cut. I cut it myself and it's pinned up most of the time so you can't see that it's not exactly even😂

Nice. I do a lot of what you talk about already. My 2010 Honda Element currently has 319,000 miles on it and it's still a puppy. Taking good care of your stuff and telling your stuff you love and appreciate it -- sounds crazy, but it works for me. I do take a ton of supplements currently, because in September I found out I'm hypothyroid, wanted to go the supplement route and not the medication route, and a few days ago I found out that all the supplements I'm taking actually have worked, so the PA says "keep doing what you're doing." Someone should come up with a hypothyroid green drink; I hear that 80% of post-menopausal women are hypothyroid; that's a big market. I get one haircut once about every two years; I let my hair grow until it gets down past my belt line, go to the barber, and they make ponytails out of it and cut it off so that I can send it to Wigs For Kids. I do not work from home, but work in a community college finding resources for students, think I need to look presentable at all times at work, so I do online thrift stores for most of my clothes. My huge find this year has been the air fryer. I've been happily on a keto diet since 2017, but geez, there was so much grease spatter in the kitchen, doing all the burgers and such...with the air fryer, all spatters are contained in the unit, and cleanup is fast and simple.

Question! Which supplements have you tried for hypothyroidism? (At the beginning of my thyroid health journey)

Tip for razors. I bought store brand disposable razors and I store the razor in baby oil in between uses. Prevents the razor from rusting and going bad quicker. I usually shave twice a week and one razor will last me months

@gene_takovic57 5 ай бұрын

That is a great idea, but does the baby oil keep the blade sharp as well? I switched to a safety razor a few years ago and bought a crudload of blades from an online retailer, probably 1000 blades for maybe 10$. This was before inflation. I don't shave every day and still have more than half of the blades remaining.

@AmericanWireman Ай бұрын

You can also dry the razor off and store it wrapped in a paper towel or a rag, it will also last a long time, I also quit buying razors mainly because I have a beard now 😅

I'm homeless, so this is standard op. I buy only quality stuff because I use it daily, and my life depends on it. 3 years ago I took it to the extreme and chose to become homeless. I run a one on one wilderness survival gig. I advertise through Craigslist and only take cash. Enjoyed the video, Thanks 😮

Thanks fellow New Hampshirite for the kick in the butt about Amazon. I hate myself for giving that jerk another few dollars every time I click “check out”, but the convenience simplifies my life not having to go store to store looking for the exact thing I need. I’m going to start going to the filter company site, for example, and say bye bye to Bezos once and for all. (The small stores do need the business.) thanks again for the reminders. Never knew you were in NH!

Love your videos, and it's great seeing you grow out of trends as you mature. I personally think that the black clothing one is great if you have no personality, but for normal people, mostly wearing black is not only boring, it contributes to depression after a while. There's a reason people only wore pure black to funerals and for mourning in the past.
