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!

Clothes! Mix and match stuff in my closet! Less is more.
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.

I stopped buying books. And, being a former librarian, that’s saying something. Instead, I borrow books electronically from my local library which is satellite of a big city library system. $5 for a lifetime library card that gives me nearly unlimited free books to read. Audiobooks too.
Less clutter around the house helps with stress too, I know the past year I have downsized so much and I now have my stress related issues under control

My kids were donating clothes they out grew (size or style-wise) and then I was buying new things for myself. I opened my eyes and realized they had good stuff, and now at least 50% of my clothes are “hand me ups” from my kids! I get more compliments on their clothes than anything I picked out! (I’m fortunate that our seven kids all have good taste!) I only buy undergarments and some jeans for myself.

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 stripped my closet down to just the basic colors, and it's literally one of the best things I've done in a long while. Frees up so much stress about picking clothes and laundry.

I stopped wearing it all together. Plain Jane is me now
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.
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 think the reason why this video is good is because you aren't crazy obsessed like some other channels. You do what makes sense for you and your life and what's reasonable. The average person can live like this and it's not super extreme
I'm a 58 year old retired CPA & MBA. The book the Simple Path to Wealth is one of the best books I have read. I totally agree that investor advisor fees or high mutual fund fees are absolutely not worth it.
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.
I found your channel just recently and I've been really, really enjoying your content! The quality and creativity is on point, thank you for your work!
Lol those non-minimalists leaving hateful comments. Love your channel, Gabe! I only own 3 pairs of shoes, one pair for travel/exercise, one pair of sandals for going around my hometown (i live in a tropical country, so open shoes are more comfortable) , and a pair of slippers for home. Also, having an insulated tumbler is a life changer! Dont have to leave my workspace everytime i get thirsty, and it keeps my water cold. I get to save money being a minimalist, and using that money to spend on experiences instead of buying things that ill throw away after a few uses "have stories to tell, not stuff to show" Now im going to learn how to to cut my hair and make my own quality coffee in 2024! Thanks for the tips!

I haven't paid for a haircut since 2003. My hair is pretty thin, so I just shave it off periodically and just stay bald - gotten pretty good at using a safety razor, which is super cheap! I am OCD on having a place for stuff, and it makes me crazy when I find things out of their 'home'. Gabe, your list of "no buys" is fairly reasonable. I'm pretty much in line with it! Thanks!
Yo! The simple path to wealth! One of my all time favorites! I always recomend this book and no one else i know has read it until i let them borrow it. Great seeing it here!

On the razor thing - if you want to knock it back to the wood or just enjoy shaving, invest in a quality straight razor. I’ve never bought another disposable since and as long as you recondition the blade after every use you only need to hone it once every 18-24 months
For Christmas we have a night out…no gifts or stress of getting gifts I buy food as we need it (top up shop twice a week working from home easy for me) All plates etc are white so if one breaks easy to replace. Not getting matching sets. I use shower gel rather than buying shaving gel separately. Hubby shares my shampoo. Hubby shares my moisturiser. I like profits that do two jobs at once. One of every item and buy a new one when it runs out. Cleaning products I also like to my of multiple use…furniture polish that cleans wood too. Rags for the car are good for my windows. Etc. I could go on and on😮😊
One thing I did this year was I stopped buying energy drinks and instead drink FREE coffee at work 1 Celsius a day = $2.50 x 365 days a yr = $912.50 saved a year!

Think the best advice from this video is, to buy quality items. Just bought a new outdoor jacket (I wear most day's of the year), it was $400. But I know I will not be buying an other jacket for the next 15 years, because that's how long the previous one lasted!! 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). And I use public transport, for the longer distances!!

I'll never be a minimalist, but I've figured out that I don't want to be a maximalist either.

I bought a case of Kombucha drinks at Costco. The empty glass bottles the drinks come in are the same size as the 16.9oz water bottles. I store filtered water from my fridge in them and never have to buy bottled water again. I can store them in a hot garage or car trunk, and not worry about plastic leaching into the water.
I also do most of these things but I'm still broke 😭🤣 . I did however just start making more money and I'm trying to cut my debt down.
Am starting this program. Stuff becomes clutter and it clutters the head. Good video!!!
I’m not a minimalist by any stretch, but I do have all identical grey socks which is a great way to go to save time and frustration
No TV at home was a game changer for me ✌🏻😃
I find it amusing the overlaps between the deliberate minimalism choices and the way I'm currently living because I'm still trying to find work after being let go. Cutting own hair, making do, no impulse spending, switching to cheaper phone plan, etc. Though buying quality items is right out. 😹

I still pay for haircuts but I stopped colouring my hair during covid.. not only do I save a ton of money but I am stopped by strangers to tell me they love my hair. That’s a win for me. I’m not a big clothes shopper but I live by the motto of quality for economy. I just bought a new ski coat, quality coat on sale 50% off. It will last about ten years. Same for jeans, decent quality but they were on sale and I only have 2 pairs. I have friends who shop a lot more than me and I’m given bags of their older clothes. I only keep what looks great on me but I still get plenty of new items every year. Organic coffee is a must but we make it at home. Love your videos 💚

Buy a bagless vacuumcleaner e.g a Dyson V-series. The purchase price is somewhat higher, but the time and money you will save on buying bags is definitely worth it. Also it can be wall mounted, saving a lot of space.

Great Vid! Here’s an anecdote: during the 2020 Pandemic Lockdowns people kept asking me where I got my haircut since all of them were shut down. 😅 The look on their faces when I told them I cut it myself was priceless. The most common reaction: “wow, there’s no way you cut it yourself, it looks good!” My secret is that I’ve been doing it since 2015 so I’ve got lots of practice in the mirror.
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.

Fun fact - cooking sprays weren't created to use with non-stick pans, and contain a chemical (I forgot the name of it) that can destroy non-stick finishes.

It’s the aerosol propellant. It contains alcohol.
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.
Love the algorithm. First video I saw, and subscribed.

Welcome aboard!
I chose to leave my dead end job (and life) and go back to school at 26. I’m almost 29 and in my final year of nursing school. I’ve had to live like a monk over these years while I work very little, trying to put all of my focus on excelling in my class (I have family to thank for some support). Point is, every dollar I make is calculated in its spending. I’m excited for this to translate into my post-grad life, where I’ll be doing just fine for myself, and will be able to afford to comfortably produce new adventures and memories through my income, instead of small useless items that almost immediately lose value to me. Cheers.

About to turn 27 soon, this gave me light to know it’s ok to reset :) ty!
I havent been to barber shop for years. Not to mention money part - the amount of time I gained is huge! My wife gets the job done and it is 15minutes errand instead of dedicated evening every few weeks.
I actually started to grow my hair because haircuts are crazy expensive! They're like 50 bucks now.
It makes SO MUCH sense!!! And, you are kind enough to put it...out there, out loud! Thank you Mr. Gabe! helene :)
Smart$$$$$$ taking amazon off your phone. Me too a mo. ago. Smart peeps do this. Cant wait to see my card bill.
The hair cut is great, I never get my hair right until I cut it for my self, and yes save time $ money every 3 weeks
I use frying pan from italy non stick non plastic coating no nickle to cadium no lead no phoa etc try this type ..better for your health
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😂
The simple path to wealth is the best book for investing because S&P index funds are the simplest lowest cost and best way to invest

Thanks for getting here early! Enjoy your time with a friend and hope you enjoy the video later
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!

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. 😮
