Today I go over just about everything I own as a minimalist.
Hey everyone. My name is Nick and here on my channel we talk about minimalism, and ways of living an intentional life. If you don't mind me talking your ear off once a week about this topics, and you liked this video, consider subscribing to the channel. See you next time

    I was curious, so I counted the Items mentioned in the video 😊 Clothing: 36 Items Filming Gear: 18 Items Hygiene/EDC: 4 Items Misc./Hygiene: 5 Items Kitchen: 10 Items Furniture/ Transportation: 7 Items Misc: 4 items Total of 84 items (mentioned ) Items that weren't included were any items communal/shared, perishables/food, individual/personal, replenishable/ 'runs out. *note: Clothing Items include count from previous video. If Nick mentioned the word 'couple', I added it as 2 Items and if he stated 'few', I counted it as 4 Items. *Also, total count may not be accurate for actual total Items owned, but it's a pretty darn goal to be inspired by ❤ If anything is incorrect, please correct me and thank you again Nick for another great video 🙏

    It appears you live in a shared house, so it's easy to be minimalist if you only have a bedroom as your own space to furnish. If you have a lounge/living room then your sitting on furniture provided by someone else, pans/bowls/plates, cooking utensils, microwave, kettle etc, provided by someone else.

    I like the idea of minimalism, I would probably call myself a full/medium-feature(practical?) minimalist, but most minimalism that the internet seems to be interested in trends to look more like "hurt-falivism". I'm currently looking for a new wallet, but they all claim to be minimalist wallets where I don't have any space to put cash in a space where I know it will never fall out like a pocket, or the wallet has a built-in multitool where I would be afraid to sit down with all the knives that pop out. It's like Bungie jumping with a real rope because the rope was smaller than the elastic one.

    Do you never have to go anywhere "dressed nicely"? Do you not have 1 button down, dress shoes, and suit? As for the title of "minimalist"--you can be a minimalist no matter how much you have. That's a personal definition.

    I can't remember the last time I had to dress up nicely lol, I do have one button up though.
