What is one reason you are a financial minimalist?
@daviddean60322 жыл бұрын
I used to think buying this or that would uncomplicate my life but I was just throwing money out of the window, Austin Williams. I was buying things to impress others when I was a young man with no gray hair. I used to want what everyone else had but now I want only what I want and because of that mind frame I have more money to buy healthy food that I cook at home. When all is said and done -- regardless of age -- health is exceedingly important and I'm glad I got off the hamster wheel. My hair is now gray but that's okay.

First off, I’ve binged watched pretty much all of your KZfaq videos today! I have to say that you are extremely relatable and skilled in conveying your message without being condescending like other minimalist preaching KZfaqrs. As an older man nearing his fifties, I realized in my mid forties what it meant to live life with intention, appreciating the little things and living with less. At your young age, you are very wise about the priorities of life. I have to point out that the statements you make about life holds true (and spot on) and I hope you continue to spread your message to those who believe materialism equals happiness. We both know it isn’t. Keep up the excellent work and best of luck with your growth on YT! You’ve gained a follower in myself!✨

I am a Latino who lived 15 years in Central America and now, most of my life I have been living in the US. You nailed it about Latin countries having a strong family and community structure. This is my theory on how I view the American culture and Latino culture. In the US, people love to spend their free time or leisure time going to the mall or store to buy something. In Nicaragua for instance, people spend their free time or leisure time going outdoors, visiting family or friends or meeting up for a drink or coffee. People over there go shopping only when they need something. The social life in those Latin countries is 10 times the social life in the US. Friends and family will knock on your door without calling to announce a visit, they just show up and it is perfectly fine. It’s 2 different worlds buddy.
@ElAgustin2 жыл бұрын
Exactly, 2 worlds. One of my big theories is related to transportation and city design. In the US things are so spread out, so you have to drive everywhere. Being in a car takes away the small interactions that create a community. For example, in Ecuador you walk and take buses everywhere, and when you do this you would have small conversations with the tienda person buying eggs or see friends as you walk to the market, or even on the extremely crowded buses there was this deep sense of equality and community. Everyone was miserable, but we were equally miserable crammed in this bus, lol. This just made you feel like you were a part of the community, rather than an individual in a car. In the US, cars and how spread out everything takes away from these tiny interactions that make up a community and take away from these interactions that are so important to human mental health. The comparisons between Latin America and the US is very fascinating. This topic will probably be in a future video :-). I really enjoyed reading your comment, Jorge!! Thank you!
@marinfamily20102 жыл бұрын
@@ElAgustin that is correct about interaction in public transportation, etc and the fact that here in suburban cities everything is spread out and most people drive their own cars. For that same reason in Latin America you see crowded streets of people walking and interacting during rush hour b/c a good percentage of people do not own cars. I guess that this is a different topic and a video discussing this will be interesting to watch. On a side note, I subscribed to your channel and enjoy your videos very much. They contain a wealth of information and my hats off to you for inspiring many people. Look I am not frugal at all. However when you get to a certain age (close to 50 in my case), you certainly start thinking about retirement. Being frugal now certainly will help in having a decent retirement. I guess it’s not too late for me. My goal will definitely be as you state in your videos. Sometimes having a family to support makes it extremely hard but I know it can be done. Saludos amigo.

@@ElAgustin Idk, I think it is something else. Here in Spain most people have cars. Still, families are strong networks, always there to help when a recession strikes or any need arises. People enjoy coffee or beer together on a regular basis, with friends or workmates. Maybe it has something to do with us moving less so we tend to have our family somewhat closer, but I think it has to do with culture. It might be our Catholic background that instilled the idea that helping others and sharing is a must, richness means little and family is sacred but we cannot conceive the idea of a millionaire sibling and a struggling one. Grandparents take care of the kids to help parents, adults move back into their parents house if the market is slow or if their parents need help, brothers share flats when they grow up and need some help, nieces and nephews move to their uncles and aunts house if they need to go to university in a different city and anyone helps anyone else finding a job or selling a flat or finding a good car deal. It might be cultural after all.

Love your channel Austin! I would say the US had community about 40 years ago. Families lived in walking distance and most people in your community were of the same status. So people enjoyed simple time together. But now as people become more successful financially they move to more affluent areas and states away. There is also tv and social media always telling you , what you have is not enough. It was enough until you turned on the tv or went to the store. I appreciate you and your channel.💗

I’ve been thinking about this concept “financial minimalist” for awhile now and to be honest, didn’t have the guts to get on board till about 6 months ago. Thankfully some major life events happened that have propelled me to this lifestyle I’m now in full pursuit of… but it took me having to overcome some major issues involving my ego. Learning to be okay with people thinking you are poor or boring or can’t pay your bills or lack good taste/style (whatever that means) has been something I’ve needed to come face to face with. I think most people overspend to prove to everyone else “I’m doing great!” But when I really think about that behavior, that’s actually overcompensating. A quiet confident person doesn’t have a desire to tell people (let alone strangers!!) that they are doing well financially. Ahhh this has become a favorite topic of mine to talk about and my husband and I are loving your videos! So cool you’re in Colorado, we live in CO as well. ✌️😀

You are a breath of fresh air, Austin. Money is important but it needs to serve you. Too many people waste their lives in pursuit of money. It only takes a few smart financial decisions to totally change the quality of your life. (Take this from someone who bought a beautiful home alone on a minimum wage job). Make your furniture from fruit crates, raise your kids in a tent. Do whatever it takes to have a life that you can love.
@lisalamphier14102 жыл бұрын
If you're wondering about the tent, I knew a family that pitched a tent on someone else's property while they saved the down payment for a house. I knew another family who bought a house and then raised their four kids in the basement, so that they could rent out the rest of the house to pay the mortgage.

It's also down to necessity. In India the families are close knit, look after the elders and each other. Living in multi generational households. In India there's no state pension unless you work for the government and its hard to get a job in government. There's a lack of state benefits and so family look after each other out of necessity. It's about survival.

Just make opinion, buying is better. But mortgage and taxes and everything associated with living in a home has to be the same or cheaper than renting month to month. Eventually rents go up but mortgage stays the same . Also when you rent and move you just get your deposit at best but if you stay long enough and sell you take something maybe not everything you paid into living there, but at least something. But buy smart!

Also I’m still in college but I want to have a more simple life even when I get a job and then my part time business. So the extra money I can use to help people and travel. I pray God helps me in this consumer society that keeps us comparing. It’s important to stop and reflect to remember how blessed we are at the current state.

At age 70 I have never been married. My funeral will be my wedding and the "Angel of Death" will be my bride.

I was married one time. It lasted for six months. I'm now looking for someone to marry again. I'm 65. 🙃

I started as an accountant, so to learn quick how to manage money. I always had savings; I bought second hand cars and motorbikes. I bought older houses and did a lot on rebuilding’s myself, I had never has loans from banks. I do not want to work for greedy banks. So, had / have villas, a lot of cars and motorbikes. And NEVER money problems.😊😊😊😊 On school, they teach you a lot of BS, except how to learn manage money.

Me parece que no vivió en la costa, porque ahí son súper consumistas. Vienen a Miami solo de compras !!! Especialmente los de Guayaquil , hay muchos malls y todos es caro pero igual las personas se endeudan para tener cosas inútiles en mi opinión.

What are your thoughts on home ownership? I have owned homes but have rented over the last 10 years because I like to move every couple of years. At 48 years old now I'm just not sure if I should invest in a home or keep renting. Thoughts?

Me encanta la idea de libertad financiera, quisiera saber como hace con el seguro médico porque es demasiado caro si uno no está en un trabajo que lo patrocine en parte
