I'm a therapist, you'd be amazed how many people I have to tell to go outside and walk in nature, just admiring the birds, the nature, the beauty of what God has given us. It's unreal.

You did make my life at least 1% better today. You reminded me of what's important. I've gotten kind of lazy the last few months and buried myself in too much time on my computer and in too many time wasters. I decluttered like crazy this year though so getting back to that will get me back on the path. Thanks for the reminder. BTW I'm 82 and I'm still learning and growing. It never ends unless you stop listening.

Create instead of Consume- your best tip. I’m coming off a low spend year where I saved 60 % and gave away 10% of my income. I learned that stuff is just stuff. I can’t even get excited about buying anything but tools or supplies to CREATE.

Wow what about 2023 and 2024?

I have been making a list for over a decade. For me, the best thing was to make a list on computer but don’t look at it obsessively but at least once every second week. Surprisingly, for me, it works more effectively because I subconsciously end up achieving goals without realizing until after the fact.

I love the point Gabe is trying to make: to savor the coffee, the sunrises, and all the other moments that we pass through without paying attention. “Be here now.”

When I do the no buy period I spend the time going through closets and get rid of things. Get the same rush as if I was buying things. Happy new year.

Creation over consumption is the mantra I chose for 2024! 🙌

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now. I also love the blank slate of a new year. It inspires you to be more self-aware and make adjustments needed to improve your life. Good tips here. Thanks!

Whenever I see videos speaking about money. I always wish people knew what I knew about money and how it’s not so difficult to hit your financial target if you know the right steps to take. Honestly, I see Not making upto a million before retirement as an unfulfilled retirement. I’m 54 and my wife is 50 . We are both retired with over $3million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on the FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock market made it possible for us this early. Even till now, we earn weekly.

Same! That’s MY official New Year. But realistically, I make resolutions when I am ready. For example, I read the 5:00 am Club and did the 66 day challenge before I had finished the book.

What is wrong with starting a diet “after the holidays?” If I tried to start during the holidays, I’d probably fail. Why not wait a couple weeks and then have a better chance of succeeding?

I started a diet right after thanksgiving, after spending a week with every family member whom I haven’t seen in a year mention how much weight I gained. New Year’s Day and so far I lost 15 pounds. I still have about 25 pounds to my goal but I’m starting strong.

I never thought of asking "would I buy this again?" when decluttering! Thanks - a game changer on those items that are not obvious "donate" things!

When I was a child I read voraciously. My mother worked for Readers Digest. She would come home with ALL the Readers Digest’s condensed books. ( as well as the magazines). From the seventies through the eighties I read every book they condensed. As I grew older I reread the ones I liked the most in regular book form and got the same experience. I could never understand how they did that.

Ever since finding your channel earlier this year, as well as a few other finance related channels, I just started making changes immediately, and it's great to see how quickly you can make massive changes through very small daily habits that you stick with. Have a great New Year's Gabe, looking forward to 2024!

Solitaire is a stress relieving tool. I'm doing a no-spend month at the beginning of each quarter. Thanks!

Fantastic episode! What timing because most of what you went over is on my 2024 goal list, which I agree with you of the love-hate relationship with the term New Year’s resolution.

I agree with you 100% there can be so many things we have packed away and we think we like but never get rid of them. Always love your video content as we all can relate to what you're saying 👍🌟

A good analog for what I need when things don’t go according to plan, and how I can accommodate for atypical circumstances (which are actually more typical than I realized). Still going strong and now I’ve made my family’s finances my hobby :)

One of my favorite moments I have daily. And I have had it in many places and in interesting situations: watching the milk “mix” into my daily cups of breakfast tea. I pour a splash in and watch it cloud and roll through the tea. I often can tell from the color of the tea if I am going to have a “perfect” tasting tea that morning. This part of the day always makes me smile. ☕️🫖

The "no buy month" sound like a great challenge, will give it a go. Not that I buy a lot of useless stuf (never bought anything on Amazon), but it's a great way to keep more money on my account!! I wish you a wonderful 2024 and a Tesla🙃

Create instead of consume! This has been on my mind a lot these days. I think with content, it creates fomo - there's so much content though, no one could consume what is already out there in their lifetime - so at some point, we have to create. Especially when the content you watch is about creating (food, things for your home, diy's etc.). We can never come into our own until we start creating and discovering.

Great video Gabe! Keep cranking out the content. You ARE helping people. Wishing you all the best in 2024!

"Taste your coffee" really reminds me of something Warren Zevon said on the Letterman show. He had been diagnosed with cancer and had a year to live and when asked about living with such a diagnosis he said it was a reminder to place more value on each minute and to enjoy every sandwich. Really good stuff you've got going on here.

Great content. Will be rewatching multiple times to digest of the useful information. From the first watch I am going to try to implement the 90% rule and consider endowment effect in what I have around me and what I purchase.

Great video and content!!!

Exacto!!! I started the same practice a couple of years ago of enjoying that morning coffee, without my planner, without the distractions of pursuits and just allowing myself to fully celebrate it :) ❤

For me New Year's Resolutions are simply a time to check in on my overall life goals, just like my Birthday in June. Most of my Resolutions are things I've been working on for months or even years already, and the Resolution itself is setting a deadline or recognizing the next benchmark. One benchmark lately has been checking on my emotional/mental health. My family suffered a high number of losses over the years and it's been good to note and watch my healing process and recognize points of our new normal.

I find creativity a challenge. I dabble but ultimitaly its not innate. Journaling, substitutions when i'm cooking... see! Grasping at straws here. Tried creating a few videos of myself to get over the fear of doing it but why? I have stepped up on reading and your suggestions on reading to grow in the morning and fiction at night has been a blessing. Thank you for yor thoughtful videos and sharing your strive for equilibrium. Its inspiring.

I really like the idea of not buying anything non-necessary for a month and slow down to enjoy the taste of coffee. I am a coffeeholic but I feel like I am always on the go… ☕️😊

@@InnerGiggles When I first started and I was tempted I would look at all the supplies and stuff I had before going to the store to refresh my mind that I have plenty already. Then when at the store I would pick the item I wanted up, look at it, hold it for a while and then put it back on the shelf after 10-15 mins. I would at times even put it in my cart and look at it and then before going to check out or leaving that section I would put it back. It helps to technically have it for a few minutes and the craving to get it goes away. Similar to the concept of smelling coffee and food it fills you up in a way. I also would think of all the things I had that were similar to the item I wanted and realized I didn't need it. And I would tell myself if I really needed I could always get it then when the need did arise like when I would run out of white paint. It is hard at first but the key is to not cave. Each day and time gets easier. Now I just look at the items as I pass and don't feel the need to get them. I also found the same satisfaction of buying when I buy the essentials so no need to buy extras of things I don't need when I feel accomplished just buying essentials when I need them. We are human and are always attracted to getting more things. We have to recall in our mind that we are happy with what we already got. For me, my buying had gotten so out of hand that all the art supplies cluttered my room. A cluttered room quickly nibbed the bud of wanting to get more stuff 😂 Hope it helps.

Socks, only when the ones I have are too loose to use then I toss those and buy one or two packs. It's about only buying when you need them and not stacking up on things. You'll be surprised just how much you have. One typical only needs enough clothes for two weeks, you wash them and reuse and when they get too worn you replace. A few items will stay newer because you don't use those as much like dresses and going out clothes.
