Great video! On the decision fatigue, I try to remember Fumio Sasaki’s The Silent To Do list. It’s where our things talk to us. The unused kitchen appliances wants to know why you don’t use them. The unread books begs to be read. The clothes shame you for leaving them behind. The pile of serums and creams are nagging in your soul to be included. It’s hard haha, it never stops 😂 But I also learned someone who said that things can say nice things to, like the decor that’s feel free and important where they stand alone or the drawers applaud you for being organized etc. To me at least this is something that helps me with intention and thoughts. Sounds silly to someone maybe, but I guess we take what we have to to get us going.

People sometimes get really put-off by the term minimalist (not me - I'm a born minimalist) thinking we live in a house with one chair and table, so I think essentialism is probably a better term. Essentialists carefully choose how to spend their energy and time.

Wow, I am learning this term for the first time! I never really called myself a minimalist, because I wouldn’t consider my lifestyle bare-bones but I much prefer the term essentialist.

Thanks so much Karlly…it’s nice to hear your take on personal finance as a fellow youthful American!

Great video. America is an innately materialistic, consumer-driven society. We are bombarded by advertisements online which is why I use extensions and userscripts to block as many ads as possible. In addition, everything I own in this world fits in my briefcase and carry on. This was a gradual process over years of living and working overseas. It is definitely not for the average person, but for me, personally, this freedom of movement is liberating as well as practical. Thoreau had it right, and I believe many Americans would find a deeper sense of happiness by embracing the simple life.

Freedom to pick up and move at any moment must be so liberating!

i've been saying this year and I didn't know it was actually word for both of us would buy that product and that's it now we're consuming so many product and so many throwaway fashion nothing is sustainable. I wouldn't buy a outfit that I couldn't wear more than 17 million but people do because that's the way of the Internet, you know they already saw me in this outfit already!
