Why I'm so Frugal | Financial Minimalism & Frugal Living

Once you stop giving a shit about what everybody else is doing, and start doing your own thing, life becomes so much less stressfull. That includes stopping wasting money on things you don't need to impress people.

I just cancelled an online order (clothing) watching this video. The shopping addiction is hard to kick. Its honestly embarassing.

Just cancelled netflix, disney+ and xbox live. I'm working on a no spend challenge next month and I'm excited to only buy essentials.

I retired from work early, i'm only 50 years old because just like you i hate being in an office. I don't have a lot saved and i will only receive my monthly retirement pension when i'm 60. So for now i rely on my savings and be conscious of my spending. I have a monthly budget and in so doing this i became a minimalist and frugal. i don't buy anything unless they run out or break, i re-purpose things. This saves me a lot

I am attempting to be frugal. I am saving money for a used vehicle. My spending habits are erratic sometimes, but I have been saving since February. I have been decluttering my living space too!

You're so similar to me in your frugality and enjoyment of the small things. I'm glad I found your channel and a kindred spirit! Sending love from Scotland!

I agree with you about debt. I had a mortgage for many years. Beyond that I have had no debt. It was tough sometimes being single, maintaining a mortgage and a household on my own. Regardless, I tried to only buy what I could pay off monthly. I am not a minimalist. I have an annual budget which I try to stick to. I believe in everything in moderation including moderation. I think it is healthy to splurge on small things that make you happy. I hope you treat yourself every once in a while, even if it is just a coffee or tea.

Your demeanor and attitude, your calm voice and rational thinking just got you a new subscriber 😊 I love this video, it helped me to show my husband why we chose the trajectory of our lives that we did. Thank you ❤

I love your view on minimalism. You really open your persperctive on it rather than repeat things I've heard in other videos.

Thank you for sharing your experience with being frugal! I appreciate this as I am on this journey too and have become content with embracing minimalism. It is soooo rewarding and I am so happy that I no longer have to feel compelled to run anybody else’s race in life

great video, appreciate the honesty about your upbringing

I definitely align with the peace of mind aspect, Minimalism is connotated to deprivation for some reason but in my opinion its actually the complete opposite! Investing or saving earlier in life really does allow you to have options, I enjoyed listening to the talking points throughout. thank you for the video.

This video is so good. You have a lot of good points I can relate to. New follower.

Another new subscriber for you! I love your easy way with common sense....

Kids! Kids are what eat my budget away 😅
