I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future!

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
I'm an amateur with a portfolio of 30,000$ but it's hard for me to build confidence. I want to invest another 12,000$ over a one month span, but I want to be strategic about doing it so l can grow more and not stay stagnant. Can you recommend me to this your professional please
Hi Sophie, I have stumbled across your channel at a struggling time at my career and spending habit. I started a hard job which requires me to work 50 hours plus. In turn, I turned to luxury bags or jewelries to make myself feel better… This viscous cycle has made me upset and sad in general. Last month marks one year anniversary at my job and I think I’m further away from financial independence I always wanted, or just simple happiness because I felt trapped. I admire and am inspired by your low spend target, slow living and minimalism. From today I will change my mindset and follow this life style. Want to say thank you for all your videos and show up in my life at this moment.
Portugal looks so beautiful and relaxing! You make an excellent point about enjoying physical activity and being consistent with it. That's where a lot of us create unnecessary stress for ourselves...pushing ourselves to do workouts and activities we dread. Aligning ourselves with what we naturally enjoy and is sustainable is a smart move all around. Appreciate you sharing Sophie!
So many people moving to Portugal that their is a boom in housing sales and rentals causing some distress for locals still being paid in local wage rates
Thank you so much Malama. I was at peace after watching this video and felt so connected to it. Sometimes it’s the small things in your life which make a big difference.
Every time when I feel want to calm myself down I’d come and watch your videos and they give me so much comfort. So inspiring and beautiful as always. Thank you Sophie for bringing us so much peace ❤️
Glad to see you again Sophie! I'm proud to call myself an "old school" too~ making to-do lists, jotting down some notes or even doodling is always a pen/pencil and paper to me because I like them tangible and I think the intentions of writing something down are more authentic. Being inactive on FB for 6 months has been a great change in my life because I feel more peaceful and present. Simplified ways of living is such a luxury nowadays unlike 25 years ago. The irony of life indeed. Thank you for this and will continue to support 🥰
I can't believe that you moved to my home town Ferragudo. I have been following your videos for 2 years now. It makes me so happy that you found a home in a place that means so much to me. :)
Thank you, Sophie. ❤ Thank you for sharing your journey with us. What a peaceful & beautiful place to live! ❤ My husband & I decluttered & donated the majority of our Midwest-required cold weather clothing & we still have plenty of warmer weather clothing which will be worn more relocating to Southwestern US. 😊❤🌞🌵🌴
I think the best thing about living a simple life is that it is always more peaceful even though mundane & boring. And it helps us channel our energy more towards our purpose & meaningful task..as our time is so precious. Thank you for sharing your simple yet valuable way of living . I totally agree that " a simple life is a beautiful life indeed " 🌷😊
I feel so calm when I watch your videos about slow living and for me it's like living my dream . I love your content , it has deep meaning of living being present at every part of life , simple , soothing . Looking forward to watch more of your videos and learn more about beauty of slow living .
You inspire us so much. I know all the viewers here are taking home a little bit of the peace that you have. I'm in awe of how you learned to appreciate and romanticize life. I'm far from this state and I'm still "stuck" in the hustle culture however my fiance and I will soon start our own family and I can't wait to apply all the learnings that I got from your videos! May God always bless you and your family! Keep doing what you are doing! We love you!
I am so impressed with your decision to move to Portugal. We love Hawaii and we find it to be our spiritual reset, however I can see where this place would be a beautiful reset. Thank you for reminding us of what is important. 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa
So glad you followed your dreams! I did the same thing with my husband some years ago. Enjoy everything about your new country Portugal. Your video,s are very calming I like everything about it, simple life is the best. Thank you Sophie.
There’s such warmth and simplicity 💓 I love it! You choose the right place to live & the life style This’s the second time God use you to show me how life beautiful and more than what the material world that pushed on us I’m happy for you and thank you For reminding me again God bless you 🧡
as someone who goes to college at a renowned party school, taking a step back from the noise was best thing i’ve ever done. ever since, i’ve been able to find more things to do that make me feel fulfilled and craft a schedule that encourages me to be intentional with my time.
I stumbled on one of your videos last week. Your energy called out to me. I usually don't watch these kinds of videos, honestly. But apparently, the universe knew that I needed you. This year has been the worst of my life. I'm calling it the year of suck. So many bad things have happened. I've lost 5 loved ones this summer, in less than 2 months. I lost my home, my car, got mixed up in some legal issues of my son's & then in July, I fell at work & fractured my hip. These are just a few issues I've dealt with. To say I have become seriously depressed, is an understatement. I have not been very kind to my body or my mind. I know I need to change some things. It's just been so hard. I'm stuck at home all day, alone. I simply had given up. Until I started watching your videos. Not all of them apply, of course, but a few have been so helpful & needed. I thank you for sharing with the world. I look forward to more of your healing energy in the future.
Hi Sophie. Can you make a video on how you manage finances as a minimalist such as how you manage credit cards, salary, budgeting, savings, etc. Thanks much! Love your videos and content as always ❤
I resonate with the wardrobe one! Having pieces I truly appreciate makes me happy, knowing I have so much wear from my clothes. How I satisfy my need for something new is with accessories 🙌🏾✨
I could rewatch this video over and over and take a piece of calm away each time thank you so much for providing that and I’ve been loving your journey from Maui to Portugal! I know that you wouldn’t want to encourage shopping but I’ve been looking for a simple gold bangle like yours for years, any chance you could say where it’s from? Thank you so much!🌺💜
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for coming out and being true to yourself whom we can look up to and perhaps one day, find our way to be align with our Highest Self too.
Thank you so much for your video, the first I saw from you that I just discovered this morning. Your words spoke to me so much that right after your video I went to my bedroom to declutter my closet, my messiest place in my home. Now I can breathe when I open the doors! I just see me when I look at what I have and it feels so much better. The 7 ways that you spoke about are very helpful and I know I'll be more concious about it. Have a wonderful day, and again thank you so much!
Thank you a lot Sophie for this video ! ❤ This small village is a beautiful, picturesque, peaceful place☀️ Sometimes we make our life harder instead of easier. You made the right decision. Best of luck to you !
*TO EVERYONE WHO FIND THIS EARLY* As Benjamin Franklin once said, “failing to prepare is preparing to fail.” Without clearly defined goals to work towards, we’re all just drifting in the ocean. I Love You. 💝
Since I live in the capital and wanting to consistently connect my soul to nature or anything Earthy, I walk to the farmer's market & the nearby green spaces. I'm a minimalist, too, ditching non-essential from my wardrobe, maintaining a low-key lifestyle, & always attempting to write a book about 'walking''.
Hi Sophie! Love your tips for simple life. For me mindfulness is key. Setting your intention right, helps you stick to your goals. Love your advice about bedroom, you are so right! I should declutter mine.
I love walking as well...it helps me take in all the views and be in the moment. It's nice to see that you are enjoying every corner of your new neighbourhood 💕
Hi - I am an accountant and I found out that you can simplify your finances by setting one date to pay all your bills. This means calling your supplier or provider to change the due dates of your subscriptions so everything will be within the same week you plan to pay all your bills. It works for me so well. Now, I don't stressed out about due dates.
You are like me in so many ways but the difference is that you have reached that goal. I am 35, married to one husband for 12 years and we have 3 beautiful children. I am one of those rare people who doesn’t like modern day technology or too much of it. I love the quiet. I want to get back into gardening. I love where you live. The other video looked like Monterey CA. I lived there one time. Your hair is beautiful and healthy looking. I love that you have long hair in your 30’s. I don’t see that often. I also have long hair. I kind of always had long hair.
I love these tips. Being intentional with your time and your peace is so important and it’s nice that you’ve found beauty in the small things in life. We can all learn from this ❤
Hi Sophie, I love your videos. Can you do a video on your healthy and simple meals? "A simple life is a beautiful life, one that is intentionally crafted"...well said! Thank you!
Pois, é que a "simple life" às vezes não é suficiente para as necessidades básicas - descontos para pensão de velhice, uma casa com isolamento / aquecimento e outros confortos como lazer, viajar, etc. É bom quando se pode fazer escolhas.
Thank you for your videos. So relaxing and calming. I’m Portuguese born in Lisbon I miss the warm weather and being close to my mum. I live in England now with my kids and my husband but we always go back to visit family. It’s nice to know you like living there🥰.
Your page is so inspiring and meaningful. You truly help me analyze my life and where I need to make changes. Thank you for creating the content that you do ❤️
Truly blissful that this video of yours found me at this time of the year as I plan to start living my simple life and focus on me throughout~~~as long as I still need it Like a true best friend who wants nothing from you but guide and support you to a better life I would love to follow ~ Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing Portugal as your new home! It is beautiful and it looks very relaxing place to live in. I liked this video content, as always it is so refreshing and so calm when talking over your videos. Wishing you the best in Portugal in this new chapter of life! 💕🥰👍
Such a calm start to my day 🥰. I have been practicing slower living ever since I found your videos. It has made such an impact this far. I love watching your videos 💕
Thank you for sharing update, Sophie. I am amazed how bold you both made the decision of moving. I am inspired. And hope to make my dream of living in my dream place one day by God's grace
Kudos to you Sophie for your efforts to your lifestyle and to your perspective on life!!! I used to be a very materialistic person and NOW I am a "minimalistic individual"!!!! God Bless YOU
Aloha Sophie! 🌺 What a beautiful peaceful life you have made for you, your husband, and sweet dogs. We always leave our tech at home when we take our weekend walks/ lunch in the park. We are sending you happy thoughts from Brooklyn NYC..
You're beautiful I love how you focus more on your life although their is alot of distractions 🌹 Thank you so much for changing my thoughts to better quality ones❤❤
I love quiet places like this but I realized that I'm also more of a suburban girl🥰. I grow up in a quiet province near the beach but I always love the city. We bought a house outskirt of busy San Antonio but we chose a house with a small pond at the back so so we can have some quiet ambiance anytime. I start decluttering 2yrs ago and our new house have a fluid minimalist feel so it will force me to let go of really the unnecessary. I feel like I want the best of both worlds, in our old age we are enjoying the marvel of technology (we have a smart house equipped, security cams etc) we are also near a Veteran Hospital which is important for my Husband.
im the same as u and do the mixed methods approach of old school writing down on pen and paper, and using digital notes and calendars. it works great and i think technology should fit into how we work and live, instead of us just changing our lives for it. your scenery is amazing as always in the video, and you are truly an inspiration!
Yes. Only the bed and a low foot bench (at the foot of the bed) Yes. for the clothes I have and LOVe the few in intentionally selected (love the wood hangers that is the only hangers that I too use) Yes. I do all of those thins you have mentioned in your vlog. Thx for sharing...:)
With each new post you make me want to move to Portugal more and more 😄Recently I've been thinking about signing up for exercise classes to help get me moving, but they're very expensive, so thank you for this perfectly-timed reminder for me to keep things simple 💚 I would love to see what your daily creative process is like, such as how you do your filming, and what your editing day looks like ☺
I love how much intention you put in your videos. Your advice is so clear and easy to follow and your shots are incredible! Thank you for taking the time to create this. I loved watching and listening to your tips. ^_^
Thanku so much Sophie for being you....💫🌸🌼 you are love and peace...❣ iam from India and here peace translates to "Sukoon" or "Shanti"... So, you are Sukoon, Sophie...🌼❤ it is always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your calm and beautiful voice.🍂🌸 lots of love and light to you...🥀
Olá! Que bom que estás no nosso país, espero que o ames muito, pois é um lugar incrivel para se viver e fico mesmo muito ansiosa por ver mais contúdo nesta nova fase da tua vida. Beijinhos de Lisboa
Just found your channel while looking at minimalism.. but then started to binge watch your channel and found out you just moved to Portugal. We just came back from there and looking to retire there with the kids in a few years… looking forward to your content as a new subbie here!
Hello, it is nice to see that you have settled in at your new home in Portugal. Bet it’s a change from your previous home. Good to see you practicing the same habits and lifestyle. Good to see you again.
I really turned on the reminder from your IG story countdown as I am always looking forward for your video post. ❤️ Everything that you talked in this video is so true. 💯👍 Better to live with less in peace than in plenty with sttess. Indeed, a calm and simple joy brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant restlessness. ✨
Travel to India or any poor nations with your husband and friends as a group. See the toughness of life. You become more peaceful and be able to recognize the blessings you got and will be able to focus more in your life.
A password manager has been so incredibly helpful in simplifying my online life. I can generate long and unique passwords that I don't have to remember, and can sync between all my devices. I have passwords for hundreds of websites and programs, I can't possibly imagine keeping track of this in a notebook.
I really really appreciate your videos and concept, you are not like other you tuber who are just promoting random garbage that they never touch but I also feel that life is unpredictable things do no go such an organising way , at the end of the we have to accept what life brings to us , if we want to make things the way we want that will be for a few days not forever
Hi Sophie, I am glad you are now settled and got what’s heart desire’s for❤ I am always looking forward for your videos. You’re an inspiration to achieving peaceful and calm lifestyle.
This woman is a refreshing mentor for all women, worldwide.
And men too :)

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
Hello, I’m 48 and I am not worth much yet , please help me out. Bought my first house last month and I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
I'm an amateur with a portfolio of 30,000$ but it's hard for me to build confidence. I want to invest another 12,000$ over a one month span, but I want to be strategic about doing it so l can grow more and not stay stagnant. Can you recommend me to this your professional please
I Found him, I wrote him. Hope he responds.
Even with my less knowledge in the stock market , I have been blessed with his strategies
Hi Sophie, I have stumbled across your channel at a struggling time at my career and spending habit. I started a hard job which requires me to work 50 hours plus. In turn, I turned to luxury bags or jewelries to make myself feel better… This viscous cycle has made me upset and sad in general. Last month marks one year anniversary at my job and I think I’m further away from financial independence I always wanted, or just simple happiness because I felt trapped. I admire and am inspired by your low spend target, slow living and minimalism. From today I will change my mindset and follow this life style. Want to say thank you for all your videos and show up in my life at this moment.
Portugal looks so beautiful and relaxing! You make an excellent point about enjoying physical activity and being consistent with it. That's where a lot of us create unnecessary stress for ourselves...pushing ourselves to do workouts and activities we dread. Aligning ourselves with what we naturally enjoy and is sustainable is a smart move all around. Appreciate you sharing Sophie!
Yes! It's so much easier when it feels easy. Our days flow so much better :)
@@MalamaLife Which do you prefer between maui or Portugal?
Thanks dear
yes Portugal is a small paradise in Europe 🌍 I was born there and is a wonderful place to live a simple life
@@MalamaLife 😃
So many people moving to Portugal that their is a boom in housing sales and rentals causing some distress for locals still being paid in local wage rates
Thank you so much Malama. I was at peace after watching this video and felt so connected to it. Sometimes it’s the small things in your life which make a big difference.
It's so true ❤️
Nice words 🙂
Exactly

I'm proud to call myself an "old school" too~ making to-do lists, jotting down some notes or even doodling is always a pen/pencil and paper to me because I like them tangible and I think the intentions of writing something down are more authentic.

The irony of life indeed.

yes!! I'm glad you can relate. I try these apps, but nothing is as good. Thank you for the support and love ❤
I feel that I wrote this comment :)
@@MalamaLife Hy are you doing any kind of give away?? Because somebody using your name messaging me that i won some kind of giveaway gift..
You are the only woman i have found that enjoy a simple life style! Greatest thing ever!
I can't believe that you moved to my home town Ferragudo. I have been following your videos for 2 years now. It makes me so happy that you found a home in a place that means so much to me. :)
It's such a gem! Everyone here is so friendly ❤️ sending much love from your home town :)
Hello, like to visit one day 😂
It's looks so peaceful
It's a blessing to live here
So calm & peaceful 🙂
Your lifestyle is so calm and aesthetic that's what every one wants ♥️🥰💖🍓😍
Aw thank you ❤️😊
Agreed. She’s inspired me to keep learning Japanese
Love a calm lifestyle and beautiful aesthetic! 🤍✨

I'm happy you followed your dreams too Rita :)
Just to add also, I am trying to watch less tv/screens but your videos are like meditating so I love them for a break or with coffee thank you!😊
❤ aw thank you! I love that you watch my videos during your coffee break
There’s such warmth and simplicity 💓 I love it!
You choose the right place to live & the life style
This’s the second time God use you to show me how life beautiful and more than what the material world that pushed on us
I’m happy for you and thank you
For reminding me again
God bless you 🧡
It's still so surreal that you're in my country and recording such beautiful and thoughtful videos 😍
It's quite surreal for me too. I still can't believe I'm here. It's been so lovely ❤️
I feel the same, I hope our country 🇵🇹 keeps being a lovely place for you to be

So beautifully captured your life in Portugal , it makes me want to visit the place sooner ♥️

Thank you for sharing update, Sophie. I am amazed how bold you both made the decision of moving. I am inspired. And hope to make my dream of living in my dream place one day by God's grace
Kudos to you Sophie for your efforts to your lifestyle and to your perspective on life!!! I used to be a very materialistic person and NOW I am a "minimalistic individual"!!!! God Bless YOU
surrounded by so much calmness and beauty, LOVE it 💖
So grateful for beautiful places like this
Aloha Sophie! 🌺 What a beautiful peaceful life you have made for you, your husband, and sweet dogs. We always leave our tech at home when we take our weekend walks/ lunch in the park. We are sending you happy thoughts from Brooklyn NYC..
Hi to Brooklyn from Germany 💕
You're beautiful
I love how you focus more on your life although their is alot of distractions 🌹
Thank you so much for changing my thoughts to better quality ones❤❤
I love quiet places like this but I realized that I'm also more of a suburban girl🥰. I grow up in a quiet province near the beach but I always love the city. We bought a house outskirt of busy San Antonio but we chose a house with a small pond at the back so so we can have some quiet ambiance anytime. I start decluttering 2yrs ago and our new house have a fluid minimalist feel so it will force me to let go of really the unnecessary. I feel like I want the best of both worlds, in our old age we are enjoying the marvel of technology (we have a smart house equipped, security cams etc) we are also near a Veteran Hospital which is important for my Husband.
I also live here in Ferragudo, I've lived here for 4 years now 😍 special little place,

Hello, like to live there 😂
im the same as u and do the mixed methods approach of old school writing down on pen and paper, and using digital notes and calendars. it works great and i think technology should fit into how we work and live, instead of us just changing our lives for it. your scenery is amazing as always in the video, and you are truly an inspiration!

Yes. Only the bed and a low foot bench (at the foot of the bed) Yes. for the clothes I have and LOVe the few in intentionally selected (love the wood hangers that is the only hangers that I too use) Yes. I do all of those thins you have mentioned in your vlog. Thx for sharing...:)
I so enjoy listing to your tips and hope to incorporate them in my life after my move and ridding myself of so many unneeded and unused items.
With each new post you make me want to move to Portugal more and more 😄Recently I've been thinking about signing up for exercise classes to help get me moving, but they're very expensive, so thank you for this perfectly-timed reminder for me to keep things simple 💚
I would love to see what your daily creative process is like, such as how you do your filming, and what your editing day looks like ☺
I love how much intention you put in your videos. Your advice is so clear and easy to follow and your shots are incredible! Thank you for taking the time to create this. I loved watching and listening to your tips. ^_^
Aw thank you for the nice comment
I just finished my work, and it was all I needed to feel good♥️ missed you Sophie♥️♥️
Missed you ❤️
Thanku so much Sophie for being you....💫🌸🌼 you are love and peace...❣ iam from India and here peace translates to "Sukoon" or "Shanti"... So, you are Sukoon, Sophie...🌼❤ it is always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your calm and beautiful voice.🍂🌸 lots of love and light to you...🥀
Olá! Que bom que estás no nosso país, espero que o ames muito, pois é um lugar incrivel para se viver e fico mesmo muito ansiosa por ver mais contúdo nesta nova fase da tua vida. Beijinhos de Lisboa
Just found your channel while looking at minimalism.. but then started to binge watch your channel and found out you just moved to Portugal. We just came back from there and looking to retire there with the kids in a few years… looking forward to your content as a new subbie here!
Thanks Sophie. It gives me fresh inspirations to start my slow living journey. Hope you have a bright day. 🌱
Your videos are truly gold! That's how life should be, simple, enjoyable! You're definitely a true inspiration 💕
Hello, it is nice to see that you have settled in at your new home in Portugal. Bet it’s a change from your previous home. Good to see you practicing the same habits and lifestyle. Good to see you again.
I really turned on the reminder from your IG story countdown as I am always looking forward for your video post. ❤️ Everything that you talked in this video is so true. 💯👍 Better to live with less in peace than in plenty with sttess. Indeed, a calm and simple joy brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant restlessness. ✨
You said it so well ❤️
Travel to India or any poor nations with your husband and friends as a group. See the toughness of life. You become more peaceful and be able to recognize the blessings you got and will be able to focus more in your life.
A password manager has been so incredibly helpful in simplifying my online life. I can generate long and unique passwords that I don't have to remember, and can sync between all my devices. I have passwords for hundreds of websites and programs, I can't possibly imagine keeping track of this in a notebook.
i could listen to your voice all day, its so soothing
This place looks magical! ❤ Definitely on my bucket list! Greetings from Hawai’i 🧘🏽♀️🪴✨ These tips are such little gems 💎✨
I really really appreciate your videos and concept, you are not like other you tuber who are just promoting random garbage that they never touch but I also feel that life is unpredictable things do no go such an organising way , at the end of the we have to accept what life brings to us , if we want to make things the way we want that will be for a few days not forever
Great advice. I agree with everything. You are a wise young lady, good for you and thanks!
I’m glad you used the word "clunky". I feel furniture should be light weight yet stable, delicate yet strong, easy to move or carry.
I just keep thinking of way to live like you but i could not found it , you just open m'y mind to another vision thank you ❤️❤️❤️
❤️🥰
I love how simple you live your life, you are such an inspiration.
