Everyone embrace minimalism at different speeds. I’ve actually came full circle - I’ve gotten rid of 95% of my possessions, rebuilt my equipments and apparels with only things that are essential, to now where my possessions are slowly increasing again. But now my purchase decisions are laser focused, and things I buy are either to replace worn out items or top of the line upgrades that I can now afford due to minimalism.

The approach you have for getting rid of your stuff really resonates. I'm doing the same and it feels more right to sell /peel away the "onion" slowly, than to get rid of everything at once through donation. Can't explain why because it's not the most efficient use of my time but it just feels more right.

I've been slowly decluttering for a couple months now. Sometimes I just wish I could get rid of 80÷ of what I own, but that's not practical right now. It has been a lot more freeing to downsize though. I'm not having to best luck selling my things, so I've been donating most of it.

I got rid of some things from the 3 that were old or damaged and whatnot but kept most of those things. Got rid of pretty much everything else and freed up sooooo much space. So much of it was old Christmas or birthday gifts that I would not have bought myself but were interesting enough that I kept it cuz it was free and why not. Or things I impulse bought because it was cool before I got into managing my money that now I can look at it and see what a waste of money it really was. Just here to say you dont have to get rid of everything! Just get rid of the clutter you dont really care about, the things you kept out of guilt because it was a gift or are only keeping because its more trouble to get rid of it. Pick what actually matters to you and get rid of the rest. From there if you enjoyed the liberation so much you want go further then you can keep shaving that list of "keeps" shorter and shorter.

I use phone app to sell. Those $5 items I was gonna just trash/donate add up to $100 in sale every week! It's like a hobby now. Someone somewhere eventually buys it if you keep it posted long enough. :)

Not everything but got rid of most of my things! Feels great.

Have you thought of downsizing your house as well?

Yes but reducing stuff is first step.

@@BeatTheBushOh cool coz I was wondering why you need a big house if you get rid of so much stuff. You should check out Matt D'Avella channel if you're serious into minimalism.

Yes yes yes....ive been trying to share this kind of odd phenomenon for the last five years. After years of chasing “the amercian dream” which seemed to be explained through owning lots of stuff. I too was in a way scared of getting rid of “stuff”. So five years ago my wife and I sold nearly everything we had beyond the basics. As we sold each item it was as if the actual weight of the item was being taken off of us. So today I have come to the realization that the more stuff we have, even if we own it, adds a level of stress, anxiety, and weight to us. We have recently been discussing our dishes even. Do we need a cabinet full of cups and plates....or would a simple 8 place set be sufficient? We did this with clothing about 6 months ago. Came up with a reasonable list of necessity, kind of like a list we would pack for leaving on a one week trip. Took into consideration the seasons. Soon realized how little you really need. Most of the clothing we didnt even wear anyway....so why have 15 or 20 different shirts. I now have two pairs of jeans, two pairs of casual non-denim pants, couple long sleeve button shirts, couple short sleeve button shirts, couple tee shirts, couple suits. Etc. You get the idea. Even this list is more than absolutely necessary, but my closet sure is organized and clean now. And if I consider buying another shirt, I first think about which one I will get rid of as a replacement.

Have you ever considered moving into a smaller house and or an r.v.? You can probably sell your place for a profit & buy a cheaper home somewhere else in a neighboring state or cheaper area of California. I'm from San Jose & am looking to relocate to another county or State with my girlfriend & son because we can't really buy property out here. We want the advantages of home ownership, and your videos will help me along the way for sure! 🏡

Perhaps after I sell more things and reduce my possessions so that I can move easily. I might go rent anywhere else in the world and rent out this one. But of course, selling stuff takes time and it is accelerated by me using this new platform.

Pea?

I am an immigrant and grew up poor, so thats always inside me with things, where I dont ask 'is this valuable to me', but the way my brain interprets is 'is this of value' just value. even a storage box would trigger me to keep because it has a value. but i am overcoming that by asking if a thing is of value 'to me'.

Your stuffed animals has a lot of sentimental value. Keep them all. It describes your channel

This last week I’ve sold over 1000 bucks worth of things of value I no longer need. It is so much better for me now. I needed space, time and money which was all tied up in that wonderful stuff. It IS addicting. And fb marketplace is so much better than craigslist. If you happen to have a local auction house that I another good resource.
