I also went the college route to “please” my parents. If I were to go back I’m not sure I would have taken the same path. However, I did meet my husband at college so it worked out in other ways. As always, thank you so much!

This resonates with me. I’m on a journey to living a more intentional and slow paced life. I tried minimalism but I found myself too caught up in the “aesthetics” of minimalism and obsessed with “quality over quantity” to the point of getting rid of perfectly good and usable items just to buy better quality. There is nothing wrong with wanting either of these but for my own personal experience it ended up costing me more than freeing me from my possessions. And I realized that while I do like owning a little less, I don’t like blank walls and empty spaces.

You are very inspiring to me in every way, from parenting to minimalism to saving money to being a Christian and sharing it all and how you do it. I found you by wanting to learn about decluttering but the way you live your life is a great example to follow. Thank you and blessings to you and your family ❤

Yes! I love all of this! Just found your channel and am obsessed!! I love the idea of small home living with a family, our family home is 1600 sq ft and while not large i often hate all the space! The only thing that ever keeps me from selling it is it’s on our dream property (40 acres secluded with a private lake and lots of woods for my little boys to roam in) and the fact it is a super cheap mortgage (600/month) bc we bought it in condemned condition and spent 10 years fixing it up and cash flowing all the updates. But I often tell my husband I would love to just have us live in a tiny home on the property since I would have less space to clean 😅 normally he and everyone I tell look at me strange for saying that. But truly I want to be burdened by so much less and I don’t want to keep up with the joneses in our neighborhood as their houses seem to get larger by the day! Seems like such a nightmare for me. Thank you for being a peaceful, calming and inspiring life. Your presence definitely helps my days that are filled with overwhelm.

Learn to love your space 😊 If it's not filled with too much stuff, empty spaces in a house can be great. Kids can run and jump and do cartwheels if there's lots of floor space. You have the land to enjoy, and you have lots of indoor space too! Lucky you! 😄😄👍

I don't know what it is with your videos, dear Madisun, but I always feel them so close to me and my current season... my husband losing his job and me trying to work all day long in the meantime, trying to take care of our kids... I felt so miserable...I was never present... I didn't have the courage to follow our dreams as a family... Now that I just had our newborn baby, and I can't work, I realized how little we need... food and bills... nothing else!!! The rest is esthetic! So much truth in your words! Thank you Madisun! I'm following my dreams with my little channel while I get to be home with my babies! Thank you for all of the encouragement we can all find here!💝

Maybe don’t cut up ALL your credit cards like we did. 🤪 We went to rent a car last weekend for a trip and we couldn’t because we don’t own a credit card now lol. Oops! But it really is such a rewarding feeling not having debt and actually buying what you can afford. So taboo these days. Even if that means managing to make one car work for awhile until you can buy another. The lightness of knowing you can make do with only what you NEED, pretty amazing. Love your videos, keep them up 😍

Well, you need first to have 100.000 dollars so you can save it. Where I live the University is free, and it is not only a question to getting a job or something like that. It is culture, investigation, community life and debate. It is a place to do a lot of different things, for me basic to maintain a healthy society. I dont have credit card and I know a lot of people that doesnt have. For me only was a thing that you have when you need it. And too it is a privilege that not everybody can have. Still I dont know anybody with 100.000 dollars, 🤣

We’re selling our 4 bed 1.5 bath home to move to a new state and a 2 bed 1 bath. We’re a family of 4 and I’m so excited to have less to clean and keep up with . We have 2 living rooms here and I felt so much pressure to fill it up. With our home sale we are going to pay off consumer debt. My husbands last day of a mentally and physically draining job is today and he’s so excited to work somewhere that he can be passionate in.

We paid off all our debt in 2021 but have yet to cut up our cards. It is something we’ve been considering - opting out of the credit score system. Have you found it hard to rent with no credit cards and/or debt?

@MadisunGray 2 жыл бұрын

No not at all. We usually are up front with the landlord about not having a credit score and instead of a high credit score we can offer them copies of our bank statements, etc to prove ability to make the payments.
