You are lucky to live in Finland. I live in the U.S. and over here if you get sick you are doomed financially. I am a minimalist and very frugal however due to having a kidney stone a few years ago and my insurance not good enough even though it was half of the cost of my rent, I’m in debt up to my eye balls. Not fair at all, but it is what it is. Stay in a country where you don’t have this problem.
Thanks for the tip Zoey and sorry to hear about your situation! Hopefully you are better now healthwise and will be eventually able to pay back the debt 🤞❤
As much as debt sucks, it can (in the proper context) be a blessing. Debt can create a frugal lifestyle out of the sheer necessity to pay the debt off. The goal is to learn from the experience and maintain the frugal lifestyle after the debt is paid in full. Easy said than done, but worth it.
Are you surprised to learn a 71 year old retired woman in Seattle, WA, USA loves your videos and finds them very supportive, encouraging and inspiring? You speak to so many things I have wanted and learned for myself over my lifetime. I'm now a subscriber and will continue to watch and encourage others to watch your videos too! I also have some ideas for you to address in the future...
@@SunnyKindJourney One thing I have never seen addressed in simple living/minimalism videos is strategies for compromising and/or staying at peace when your partner (of 50 years in my case!!) does not share the same values. You have probably not had to experience this, and I hope you never do. But I want to live sustainably and frugally when my husband is a bit of a hoarder and won't get rid of anything. (At least he is not a fan of shopping, except for food and electronics). I think I'm coping pretty well, but I'd love to hear ideas on living at peace with someone you love who feels differently. Thanks again for your wonderful videos!
@@JournalJourneys51 Thanks for the idea! I don't have so much experience in this as my partner shares the same values as me to not have our place full of irrelevant stuff. We both think very carefully where we want our money and energy to be. But on the things that we have differences, mutual respect has helped a lot. I try my best to see her point of view and vice versa. This is what has brought us together over the years. 50 years is so long time that all this might be harder but I'm sure behind there is love and mutual respect for you too ❤
@@SunnyKindJourney Thank you again for your kind reply. You might be glad to know I sat down today and wrote out a list of things I could do in my life AS IT IS NOW to further my intentions of living a peaceful, environmentally-concerned, frugal life, and was surprised that together we are doing not too bad, and I could do even more, on my own, and as an example to my husband. It was enlightening to me to sit and consider all these things. You have also reminded me to consider each day things I learn (this was one!) and to be sure to take time for gratitude. Thanks again!

Such an informative comment!Hope it is okay with you and that you don't mind sharing tips on how to invest. I have watched a lot of videos on YT but still can't understand nor set my mind at one thing.
Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing,
Hats off to you. You are an amazing young man. Don't ever feel guilty because others laugh at you. Stay focused in your journey. You are free to choose the way you want to live. It is none of their business. I am an old woman I live a similar lifestyle but never apologise to anyone for that. In fact I love to be different from the herd.
I agree. The more you try to impress people the more you will be their prisoner. People who genuinely love you will love you for who you are, not what you own. ❤️
@@SunnyKindJourney Or, we only have so much for the things we actually need. And already do without cable or expensive phones or eating out or Any extras. Some people are disabled but couldn't get disability. Some people are too old. Some people were married and a spouse died. There are innumerable reasons besides trying to impress others.
Ever since I discovered your channel I feel more and more identify with what you share. People look at me like I'm a weirdo for buying second hand (in Spain is like saying you're poor) but I'm actually the one thinking: what are you waiting for? Is a great opportunity to give an extra life to something instead of just throwing it away. Thank you for sharing!
Hola! (My grandmother is Spanish so had to reply to a Spaniard!) I live in the UK and growing up I had to have second hand things because we couldn't afford new and there was a huge stigma attached to it. If you were relying on charity and second hand goods you were considered lower in the class system as you didn't earn lots of money but to me it doesn't make sense to have new when something second hand still has a use and works perfectly fine. It's better to keep something in circulation and usable then damage the planet further by purchasing new goods that strip its resources. We can't recycle every single thing but the UK is getting better now with encouraging us to be ethical and making second hand "hip" amongst the young. I can afford to buy new now but my childhood conditioning still makes me prefer second hand and I actually feel happier that I'm giving something another life and helping the planet then buying new. On the rare occasion I do buy anything new, I intend to keep it as long as I physically can.
Yeah I remember trying to explain thrift shopping to Italians and they found it strange to wear clothes someone else had had before, so I feel you 😄 Thanks for the nice comment and making an impact in your own life 🌱
Claro qué sí. Ditch the vegan. You need meat. It’s the most efficient way to stay strong and healthy. You will see. Change before you do too much harm. And it’s not better for the environment. Better to eat local meat from local pastures. Fish too.
People around me usually don't approve the frugal stile of living I live, and this fact disconnect myself with almost all. I was struggle with this, but I decided that I want to live my life, not others....
Your friends are incorrect, you are not "cheap", you are extremely wise. You are so right about saving for an emergency, or for a last-mi ute chance to travel. Experiences are so much valuable than materials items. In my past, I have not been responsible with money, but I am trying hard every day to make smarter decisions and to minimalize. This video really inspired me, thank you.😊😊
Living frugal doesn’t mean you have to be poor. In fact this video does a great job of pointing that out. He talks about having enough for the things he needs, and not having to sacrifice the things that are important to him. If you want to live in a house and a house cost a million dollars trust the money will show up. Buying a million dollar house does not mean you suddenly buy junk you don’t need or stop making conscious decisions. Sometimes tons and tons of money is required for a experience you want to create for yourself but you can still be frugal you can still be you. That’s the beautiful thing about this video. Being poor sucks no one wants that and yet many of us think the alternative is vanity and that is simply not true. You could spend a billion dollars on something that helps the world and that could be the most aligned and frugal thing for you. Be yourself don’t get distracted by money but don’t hinder yourself by choosing a poverty mindset. Great video!
I was very inspired how frugal you live is also saving our planet that is being so abused by many . I used to live in a town close to three large Cities, now I live in a small town in Wales UK with no Cities and and big stores for miles around. My quality of life is much better now as I don't spend ridicules amount of money's and just enjoy the simple life around me that is free . We could all learn a lot from you ......but it's not rocket science. Keep up with your videos maybe one day people will wake up.
Very impressed you sewed your pants! I can't believe you wanted to talk while sewing. It would take all my concentration to do that. Love your channel 😊👍
Love watching how people live frugally try myself ,trying to declutter ,find it hard as I don’t feel it’s holding on ,love having option of various items,first time watching from Glasgow Scotland
Hi Doris! Thanks for being here 🌱 Minimalism, frugal living & living simply is a process. For me it took years to understand my reasons for it and to start simplifying. For some it could be less, for some more. The most important thing is to be self-aware and intentional with your choices. I for example love watching videos about people living in a van but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy that in my own life, at least for now 😊
Why do you have so few followers? Anew subscriber and like you content. Keep up! Hoarder turned frugal and loving it. Feeling financially secure is priceless, especially after years of stupid chronic broke. Cheers from Vienna!
Dear Steve, I am 59 years old soon to be 60 & I’ve always had your mindset from an early age like yourself. My parents were fantastic with money management & I actually learnt a lot of tips & tricks from them growing up. Like you also I get a great joy out of being frugal & to me it is a life skill that people need to live their life by. Some of my clothes are over fifteen years old but look relatively new because I look after them well. I always make sure rent & bills are paid first before anything. I’m vegetarian btw. You are a great example Seve, keep going!😎👍onwards & upwards!
15 years? Plenty of life left in them yet - some of ours are more like 30 (+)!!! No, they're not tatty, just old and often much better made. Many, but not all, 'younger' items were charity shop items. Same goes for a lot of our household objects and collectibles, many bought at car boot sales and now ebay. The ironic thing is that many people who are obsessed with the current recycling craze have no idea how to genuinely recycle in their own lives, but buy new all the time. We are by no means obsessive about this, but it means that when we need or want to spend money on something new or more expensive, we haven't wasted all our money on unimportant and unnecessary fashion items and fripperies. About to start going through a lot of older clothes and recycling them on the sewing machine into something useful to someone. Have a good day!
It is really good to find people like you on youtube. I am frugal too, except when it comes to food and what i believe will definitely bring well being for me. I am not attracted to material goods too. I am struggling with creating the right balance for myself too, spend wisely.
I’ve just stumbled on this video and found you to be such a genuine, warm and beautiful soul. You are living true to your values and should never be embarrassed or ashamed about that. The world needs more folk with your mindset. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. They really resonated with me 🙏🏽 I’m now a subscriber.
For past 2 years I hv been living frugally and I never regret. I can resonate with you when u shared being called ‘cheap’. I hv just subscribed. Look forward to more video from u 😊
Me too... I rather save and invest than buy things that just go in the closet or garage or rent-a-space, to waste more money. Buying junk adds up and most people regret it later in life, when the money really is needed. I like to recycle plastics and reuse often to save from buying again and again; also I buy clothes at second hand stores is golden in that the new clothes bought just gets worn out after a couple of months (which new expensive clothes just turned into a second hand clothes).
I'm also frugal and a minimalist. BTW, do they go hand-in-hand? Anyway, I do everything by myself - bookkeeping, taxes, gardening, cleaning, fixing, sewing, etc., etc. - and by doing so, I not only save a lot of money, but I also learn a lot in the process. Soon, you become a jack of all trades. I've also been cutting my family's hair for years, which, BTW, came in very handy during the Pandemic. By doing things on your own, you will also discover talents, hobbies and interests you never knew about yourself.
I actually don't think they go always hand in hand even though they are similar and I am both. Frugal for me is not wasting money & resources, minimalism is not getting things in my life even though I would get them for free to keep my life simple 😊 Nice comment!
My wife and I just made the bold move of selling everything we own that didn’t fit in four travel bags and moving to a new country. We had 32 years of accumulated “stuff” including a house, car and many other big ticket items. Now we are nomad living for a while and we are, essentially, forced to stay minimalist. We did bring cooking items like our favourite pans and coffee presses as well as clothes and some things that would be hard to get here but it made us really think about what was important. Now every purchase is thought out as “want vs need” and if it’s a need, can we do something else. This is a whole different way of life. On the top of the list of important is food so we first find the local butcher, market and stands that have what we need. We stick with local so fruits that are in season locally, meat that is not imported.
I really love your outlook, I'm a huge minimalist, even more minimal than what I see in your videos, but I struggle with frugality. Thank you for showing me your outlook, your lessons are valuable!
Thank you Nathan 😊 Minimalism, frugal living, balanced life, all these are personal journeys we go through and there's no right or wrong timing or place where you should be now. It's your story 🌱 Go with the flow and take care!
Hei! I’ve just found your channel and I really enjoy your videos. I live in the UK, I live in social housing (government housing) and often feel I am not good enough when I’m with my friends who own their homes, have big careers etc. BUT I realised lately that I am lucky to live in a cheaper accommodation, my friends who are doctors and lawyers etc are always stressed and they have to spend all their money on their houses. I have started to clear out and sell my belongings and am also living a frugal life now. Your videos and videos like this help me to feel better about myself and my situation. Kiitos paljon!
I've never heard anyone go into the feelings being frugal gives. And I also feel the same way. I think its also partly my heritage as my family on my moms side is mennonite and they believe similar to amish of something of a simple life. Do not store up treasure on earth but in heaven I guess. My grandparents were also very into recycling. My grandpa would travel along the road picking up cans along highways. He had a very kind soul. But I also love the security of being frugal but also its just the most eco friendly thing especially ordering things and having them shipped. I do it for things but I despise it when I can avoid it. All the cost of travel, gas, packaging just for one thing you want. That's my personal prejudice I suppose.
Quote from your video: "I wouldn't invest in things that I wouldn't need..." Wrong! You should say: I wouldn't spend on things that I wouldn't need. People confuse spending with investing. I spend money on a new couch but I never invest money in a new couch. You only invest in something where you hope to see a return on that thing you invest in. That's why you invest in the first place. If you just spend money, for example on a couch, then the money is gone...forever... There won't be any return on your so-called "investment", simply because you spent (actually wasted) your money. Otherwise a very good and useful video. Thanks for sharing mate!👍
Most frugal people do it because they enjoy it and as you said, it's fun. I love watching my money grow, yup, it's fun! As for friends thinking you're cheap, I'm very careful that my friends don't realize why I do some of the things I do, I never say it's because of money.
Haha it made me so happy when you told the story about Finns standing in line to get a free bucket. That is such a Finnish thing to do 😁 I spent some months in Helsinki during university and miss it very much. Living frugally also comes very naturally to me. Just like you I love watching how my savings get bigger. Of course there are also things that are not necessary but we still enjoy them and, therefore, spend money on them. For me that would be going out to eat because Berlin is vegan food paradise. Also a nice flat for myself rather than living in a shared space. But when it comes to being "cheap" in the eyes of others because we chose to not invest in things that are generally considered "normal" (e.g. car, new electronics, expensive clothing) we should always remember that it is our own life, not the life of someone else. And, therefore, we should live it the way it suits us best, not anyone else.
This was inspiring! I'm about to declutter so many things to live more frugal, and save more $$. I also love to shop 2nd hand so many unique options I find for myself and my family. Thank you for this video :)
Keep going, it will keep working and you will influence others. Most influencers are out there getting people to buy things. If you influence others just think all the good the ripple effect will do. Anything life affirming is a good way for all of us to live.
Bravo! I partially support your money philosophy. It's not worth spending lots of money for the things you can get half price or if you're gonna use only a few times😉
I m from Kolkata, India .I m a minimalist in nature and living single ..I collect gift vouchers given to by my office or friends on my birthdays ..it's been 4 years i never used cash for my cloths or shoes ...i use gifted coupons for it...One more thing people call me miser at times, but one lesson I learnt in my life - Being miser is better than asking for money from others....
I am very happy to have seen this kind of content. It kinda resonates with me personally. I do hope will reach the stage where it's really comfortable ditching out from the mainstream neverending race. Keep inspiring!
Also another reason to live as frugally as you like or prefer is about generational wealth. Creating generational wealth is not just about giving your children all your wealth after you die, but it's also about teaching them about the value of money and things in general.
Might be more difficult with a daughter as she might just spend it on her husband because she’s “in love” , and we all know husbands & wives are replaceable , so gotta teach your kids fk your spouse go for the money , protect your money & invest it , but don’t go spending your fathers money on your lover who’s only there temporarily
Congrats, so nice to see more men using a sewing machine. You did a great job have more faith in yourself. For alterations theres lots of basic repairs vids on you tube, i find these helpful. If you go to fabric sewing shop, they do sell needle threaders, theyre little metal discs with a little wire loop to help thread the machine.theyre about £2 in uk and you get 2 0r 3 in a pack. Or try holding a little piece of white paper behind the needle, this helps you to see the eye of the needle better
It is wonderful to see someone so young has achieved the wisdom of simple living. It took me many decades to realise the benefits. I look back and realise the waste in terms of time and money.
I also live frugally. Partly it's because I want to spend as little as possible since my parents pay for my rent and I don't want to trouble them more than necessary. On the other side, I personally don't see a point in buying a lot. For example, how many pair of shoes do you need? I own only 1 decent pair of shoes (the rest are either ripped somewhere or just really old and look ugly) and I wish I could afford more sometimes. Then I start to think - I can easily save up to buy 1 pair of shoes a year and considering that my last shoes would still be in a good condition (since they were worn for only 1 year) I would have 2 pair. I could buy new shoes in this way and make a big collection over the years. BUT do I really need them all? Of course there are people who like to collect shoes/other things or just want to spend their money on them. I don't blame them. It's a personal choice. But for me, assuming that I now own 5 pair of shoes - it's too much. It would take me years to wear down all of them. I think the maximum of 3 pairs is plenty. Since I own 1 pair I plan to buy 1-2 more in a few years but nothing more than that. Mostly I like to simplify my life so I have 1 pair of shoes and wear them everyday and then when they are worn down I replace them.
I am moving and all my stuff is in 129 big boxes and of course this is in addition to furniture. I have been using the same 4 sets of clothes the last 2 months. And I am surprised how much I am so comfortable just to have this 4 pieces available till k do the unboxing . All the love from Sweden
sounds like myself also. I was just around others who did not care . Now that I am in my space more and more this is able to continue. Very Nice what you believe Mr.👍😊
One way to get the needle threaded easily on your machine is to wet the back of the needle . the moisture will suck the thread through the hole and it wont be a pain . great tips btw ! I think this the sort of advice that is important and useful right now . good luck to you my friend ☺
It's so cool but I get so frustrated when I make an error and need to first remove what I made and then redo it all 😂 There's definitely a learning process
@@SunnyKindJourney it's okay. Mistakes and failures are a part of life. Before we get things right and succeed, those things happen in order for us to learn. I don't even know how to put a thread on a sewing machine, which part of it must I insert the thread and other issues like measurements, cutting the cloth, etc.. I believe that you are a magnificent learner.
Slow living, something I need in my 7 day working life and am slowly (pun intended) getting into. If I slowly get into slow life does that mean I'm already living the slow life? I guess so, but cheers to even more slow life! 🍻
I just stumbled on your channel. It's really great and we share the same lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your experience, it motivates me a lot ☺ great job with your pants. Best regards from Germany!
Living in intentional community enables me to live well without facing high cost. Travelling as Wwwoofer is fun and wise to meet cool people in organic farms. Thansks for your sharing.
Great idea! Thank you! As you were asking for a tips...you can fix the shoes too! I am sure that you can do it with hands or on your sewing machine...or perhaps you need stronger one. Cooking is fantastic but you can invite friends or neighbors. That way some others will see what is possible when you start cooking at home. And for traveling you can look for workaway site if you don’t know it. And you can use bicycle or hitchhike or ask your subscribers if someone would like to host you...
Thank you for the great ideas! Yeah I realized yesterday that actually I could try to fix those shoes as well, nothing to lose even if I fail and they get ruined I guess 😉
Bro. dont also forget that you will only live once in this planet, make a great choice, and leave your life to the fullest, coz we cant bring anything when we die.
I agree and that's my goal. Minimalism & frugal living for me is part of that - invest in things that actually matter, and usually in my life these things just don't happen to be material things 🌱 Thanks for the comment Marlon!
“If I had more income I wouldn’t live as frugally as now, I would buy higher quality things’ , the environment is important so I reuse clothes but then love to travel & fly around the world. A few mixed messages here, sounds like sensible budgeting to me rather than some higher purpose ethical living! Nice sewing by the way, I can’t even thread the cotton on mine 😂
Yeah I mean I would buy things that last longer & are more sustainable in the things that I have to buy already anyway like food, running equipment, tech stuff to make these videos, furniture etc. Still do a lot of second hand shopping in these areas but quality of course still costs more. About the flying, I've actually mainly flewn to see family inside Europe in the past years. Not really interested in multiple cross continental holidays a year even though not owning a car and being vegan keeps my own footprint pretty low 😄 A lot to improve eco wise still of course 😏
I think he said, “move to another country”, and specified not flying to Japan, Alaska etc. Not “fly around the world”. He’s in Finland. He can actually go all but the last 50 miles to Alaska on oand and then take a boat. He can go by bus and train to Spain, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan or China. He could basically cycle, even.
@@eh1702 Thanks for the comment and seeing what I meant! 🙌🏼 Yeah I actually prefer to move for at least multiple months than have these "7-day Bangkok holidays" 😄 Environmental impact is something that is always there when travelling (except if I go to China by bike😉), and I really want to be aware of my own actions as I think everyone should. So a lot to improve as always but I think I'm already doing a lot of things right which I'm proud of 😊
I love this kind of contend. Your video immediately reminded me of a Brazilian UA-camr (his channel is called Vida Simples by Júnior Kuiawa). Different ppl and cultures but same style, thoughts, and behaviors. His channel is getting bigger and I see the same future in yours. Good luck!!!
By the way, I've never bought second hand clothes, but mine have been used so many times that they look like second hand. I'm pretty sure that second hand clothe sold are newer than my casual ones.
😊 very nice. I think if you are happy with the pants then you did good. I have a thrifted sweater that I paid $5 and I loved it. It finally wore out and looked rough and even in an effort to save money I don’t want to look sloppy so I had to toss it. But the $5 was well spent. ❤ I love your attitude on life
Thanks to YT for suggesting your video to me! Beautiful Pictures paired with your point of view. A perfect start into this day! Also thanks to you for sharing it with us! 😀
I came across your channel tonight and just noticed you’re from Finland! My grandparents are from Finland too. They were also people who lived frugally so I think it might be in my blood.
You know, beside it is lovely to watch frugal living content, it is also a really good coincidence to watch a youtuber in Finland. I'm recently amazed by people of Finland. How you guys only small in numbers, but excels in many things as a country. There are a lot of content about living in Japan, or something like "a day in the life of Japanese carpenter" Or something like that. Like Paolo from Tokyo, he covers a day in the life of Japanese blablabla from various professions. I hope either you or other youtuber from Finland could cover such things too.
Really great advice man! Agree with the cooking at home, another benefit is that you know exactly what’s in your food and the enjoyment of cooking it yourself. Great thinking with making sure you have some savings to one side in case something happens or something comes up, that’s what I’m working towards Great sewing work too man, way better then I can do, I’m useless on a sewing machine. Great video man!
Paul, I'm pretty much useless too. Or at least was before but now I don't want to buy new pants all the time so I have to adapt 😄 Thanks for the nice comment!

@@SunnyKindJourney Or, we only have so much for the things we actually need. And already do without cable or expensive phones or eating out or Any extras. Some people are disabled but couldn't get disability. Some people are too old. Some people were married and a spouse died. There are innumerable reasons besides trying to impress others.
Ever since I discovered your channel I feel more and more identify with what you share. People look at me like I'm a weirdo for buying second hand (in Spain is like saying you're poor) but I'm actually the one thinking: what are you waiting for? Is a great opportunity to give an extra life to something instead of just throwing it away. Thank you for sharing!
Hola! (My grandmother is Spanish so had to reply to a Spaniard!) I live in the UK and growing up I had to have second hand things because we couldn't afford new and there was a huge stigma attached to it. If you were relying on charity and second hand goods you were considered lower in the class system as you didn't earn lots of money but to me it doesn't make sense to have new when something second hand still has a use and works perfectly fine. It's better to keep something in circulation and usable then damage the planet further by purchasing new goods that strip its resources. We can't recycle every single thing but the UK is getting better now with encouraging us to be ethical and making second hand "hip" amongst the young. I can afford to buy new now but my childhood conditioning still makes me prefer second hand and I actually feel happier that I'm giving something another life and helping the planet then buying new. On the rare occasion I do buy anything new, I intend to keep it as long as I physically can.
Yeah I remember trying to explain thrift shopping to Italians and they found it strange to wear clothes someone else had had before, so I feel you 😄 Thanks for the nice comment and making an impact in your own life 🌱
We are a special breed...
Claro qué sí. Ditch the vegan. You need meat. It’s the most efficient way to stay strong and healthy. You will see. Change before you do too much harm. And it’s not better for the environment. Better to eat local meat from local pastures. Fish too.
People around me usually don't approve the frugal stile of living I live, and this fact disconnect myself with almost all. I was struggle with this, but I decided that I want to live my life, not others....
Your friends are incorrect, you are not "cheap", you are extremely wise. You are so right about saving for an emergency, or for a last-mi ute chance to travel. Experiences are so much valuable than materials items.
In my past, I have not been responsible with money, but I am trying hard every day to make smarter decisions and to minimalize. This video really inspired me, thank you.😊😊
Awesome 😍😍
Young people are going to save the world. You are the perfect example. All the very best to you on your journey. Greetings from Chicago!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Steven! 😊
Having financial security is also very important to me. Good on you for having a go at sewing. New subscriber from New Zealand.
Thanks! Not the most confident yet in that but it's important to try even though I still fail many times 😄 Do you sew clothes yourself?
My mom is really good at sewing 🧵
Living frugal doesn’t mean you have to be poor. In fact this video does a great job of pointing that out. He talks about having enough for the things he needs, and not having to sacrifice the things that are important to him. If you want to live in a house and a house cost a million dollars trust the money will show up. Buying a million dollar house does not mean you suddenly buy junk you don’t need or stop making conscious decisions. Sometimes tons and tons of money is required for a experience you want to create for yourself but you can still be frugal you can still be you. That’s the beautiful thing about this video. Being poor sucks no one wants that and yet many of us think the alternative is vanity and that is simply not true. You could spend a billion dollars on something that helps the world and that could be the most aligned and frugal thing for you. Be yourself don’t get distracted by money but don’t hinder yourself by choosing a poverty mindset. Great video!
Thanks for the nice comment, Graham 🤗
The line between frugal and cheap is being frugal affects you, being cheap is when you negatively affect/burden others.
I was very inspired how frugal you live is also saving our planet that is being so abused by many .
I used to live in a town close to three large Cities, now I live in a small town in Wales UK with no Cities and and big stores for miles around. My quality of life is much better now as I don't spend ridicules amount of money's and just enjoy the simple life around me that is free . We could all learn a lot from you ......but it's not rocket science. Keep up with your videos maybe one day people will wake up.
And we could all learn from you too, David! Love your story 🙌🏼 Never been to Wales but based on your description, I definitely should visit there 😏
Very impressed you sewed your pants! I can't believe you wanted to talk while sewing. It would take all my concentration to do that. Love your channel 😊👍
Love watching how people live frugally try myself ,trying to declutter ,find it hard as I don’t feel it’s holding on ,love having option of various items,first time watching from Glasgow Scotland
Hi Doris! Thanks for being here 🌱 Minimalism, frugal living & living simply is a process. For me it took years to understand my reasons for it and to start simplifying. For some it could be less, for some more. The most important thing is to be self-aware and intentional with your choices. I for example love watching videos about people living in a van but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy that in my own life, at least for now 😊
Why do you have so few followers? Anew subscriber and like you content. Keep up! Hoarder turned frugal and loving it. Feeling financially secure is priceless, especially after years of stupid chronic broke.
Cheers from Vienna!
Thank you! 🤗

This video was like a breath of fresh air. It's so hard to find someone who wants to live the same lifestyle 😔
Dear Steve, I am 59 years old soon to be 60 & I’ve always had your mindset from an early age like yourself. My parents were fantastic with money management & I actually learnt a lot of tips & tricks from them growing up. Like you also I get a great joy out of being frugal & to me it is a life skill that people need to live their life by. Some of my clothes are over fifteen years old but look relatively new because I look after them well. I always make sure rent & bills are paid first before anything. I’m vegetarian btw. You are a great example Seve, keep going!😎👍onwards & upwards!
15 years? Plenty of life left in them yet - some of ours are more like 30 (+)!!! No, they're not tatty, just old and often much better made. Many, but not all, 'younger' items were charity shop items. Same goes for a lot of our household objects and collectibles, many bought at car boot sales and now ebay. The ironic thing is that many people who are obsessed with the current recycling craze have no idea how to genuinely recycle in their own lives, but buy new all the time. We are by no means obsessive about this, but it means that when we need or want to spend money on something new or more expensive, we haven't wasted all our money on unimportant and unnecessary fashion items and fripperies. About to start going through a lot of older clothes and recycling them on the sewing machine into something useful to someone. Have a good day!
PS - sewing machine is a venerable 30s ish Singer! Simple and reliable.
Simple Person, Simple Life. 🙏
🙏🙏
It is really good to find people like you on youtube. I am frugal too, except when it comes to food and what i believe will definitely bring well being for me. I am not attracted to material goods too. I am struggling with creating the right balance for myself too, spend wisely.
I'm a minimalist too!
Awesome! 🙌
I’ve just stumbled on this video and found you to be such a genuine, warm and beautiful soul. You are living true to your values and should never be embarrassed or ashamed about that. The world needs more folk with your mindset. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. They really resonated with me 🙏🏽 I’m now a subscriber.
Thank you so much Bea ❤❤❤
In USA here, the goal is to have more and more. Yet all the wisdom teachers of the ages have shown us that wanting less is the key to happiness.
Yeah it's interesting how it feels we have never enough 😅
For past 2 years I hv been living frugally and I never regret. I can resonate with you when u shared being called ‘cheap’. I hv just subscribed. Look forward to more video from u 😊
Thanks for subscribing! ✌🏼
People got their own opinions but i respect you man👍I want the best for my family 😎
Definitely and I respect you 🙌🏼 Hope you got some insights or confidence from this video for your own journey 🌱
Me too... I rather save and invest than buy things that just go in the closet or garage or rent-a-space, to waste more money. Buying junk adds up and most people regret it later in life, when the money really is needed. I like to recycle plastics and reuse often to save from buying again and again; also I buy clothes at second hand stores is golden in that the new clothes bought just gets worn out after a couple of months (which new expensive clothes just turned into a second hand clothes).
Love it, Sammy! 😍
I identity with your way of thinking and being so much!! Thank you for being you!
Thank you so much! 🌞
I'm also frugal and a minimalist. BTW, do they go hand-in-hand? Anyway, I do everything by myself - bookkeeping, taxes, gardening, cleaning, fixing, sewing, etc., etc. - and by doing so, I not only save a lot of money, but I also learn a lot in the process. Soon, you become a jack of all trades. I've also been cutting my family's hair for years, which, BTW, came in very handy during the Pandemic. By doing things on your own, you will also discover talents, hobbies and interests you never knew about yourself.
I actually don't think they go always hand in hand even though they are similar and I am both. Frugal for me is not wasting money & resources, minimalism is not getting things in my life even though I would get them for free to keep my life simple 😊 Nice comment!
My wife and I just made the bold move of selling everything we own that didn’t fit in four travel bags and moving to a new country. We had 32 years of accumulated “stuff” including a house, car and many other big ticket items. Now we are nomad living for a while and we are, essentially, forced to stay minimalist. We did bring cooking items like our favourite pans and coffee presses as well as clothes and some things that would be hard to get here but it made us really think about what was important. Now every purchase is thought out as “want vs need” and if it’s a need, can we do something else.
This is a whole different way of life.
On the top of the list of important is food so we first find the local butcher, market and stands that have what we need. We stick with local so fruits that are in season locally, meat that is not imported.
Hope it’s going well!
I really love your outlook, I'm a huge minimalist, even more minimal than what I see in your videos, but I struggle with frugality. Thank you for showing me your outlook, your lessons are valuable!
Thank you Nathan 😊 Minimalism, frugal living, balanced life, all these are personal journeys we go through and there's no right or wrong timing or place where you should be now. It's your story 🌱 Go with the flow and take care!
The Scandinavian thought and sense of “Just enough”.
Hei! I’ve just found your channel and I really enjoy your videos. I live in the UK, I live in social housing (government housing) and often feel I am not good enough when I’m with my friends who own their homes, have big careers etc. BUT I realised lately that I am lucky to live in a cheaper accommodation, my friends who are doctors and lawyers etc are always stressed and they have to spend all their money on their houses. I have started to clear out and sell my belongings and am also living a frugal life now. Your videos and videos like this help me to feel better about myself and my situation. Kiitos paljon!
Also, I used to live in Finland for 6 months… I miss it! 🇫🇮
I've never heard anyone go into the feelings being frugal gives. And I also feel the same way. I think its also partly my heritage as my family on my moms side is mennonite and they believe similar to amish of something of a simple life. Do not store up treasure on earth but in heaven I guess. My grandparents were also very into recycling. My grandpa would travel along the road picking up cans along highways. He had a very kind soul. But I also love the security of being frugal but also its just the most eco friendly thing especially ordering things and having them shipped. I do it for things but I despise it when I can avoid it. All the cost of travel, gas, packaging just for one thing you want. That's my personal prejudice I suppose.
Yeah so many benefits in it 😊 Thanks for the comment!
Your mind and spirit are absolutely in the right place. Keep on good lad!
Thank you 🙏
Quote from your video: "I wouldn't invest in things that I wouldn't need..." Wrong! You should say: I wouldn't spend on things that I wouldn't need. People confuse spending with investing. I spend money on a new couch but I never invest money in a new couch. You only invest in something where you hope to see a return on that thing you invest in. That's why you invest in the first place. If you just spend money, for example on a couch, then the money is gone...forever... There won't be any return on your so-called "investment", simply because you spent (actually wasted) your money. Otherwise a very good and useful video. Thanks for sharing mate!👍
Like your perspective and I agree with that! Will start to use that word more in this context 😉
This is the best form of living, I do something similar, keep on keeping on!
I adore your lifestyle, your knowledge, and your meaningful videos🥰 Thanks Seve🙏
Thank you so much, Kelli! 😇
As long as your happy, do you. Don't worry What ppl say. Your great
Thank you, June! 😊
Ohhh I am the sam has been frugally. I am happy the way I am
What a cool dude. Channel was recommended. Think I'll stick around 😁
Awesome, thank you so much 🤗
I will stick at round too 😊
@@PraveenSrJ01 Thank you Praveen ❤
Most frugal people do it because they enjoy it and as you said, it's fun.
I love watching my money grow, yup, it's fun!
As for friends thinking you're cheap, I'm very careful that my friends don't realize why I do some of the things I do, I never say it's because of money.
Yeah, I think I shouldn't even try to explain myself, it's my life and my decisions after all 😉
Today I donated all my old clothes and I am rebuilding my wardrobe, which are going to last long. Actually I feel pretty light, mentally.
Perhap considering getting some new ones 2nd hand? 😉
@@SunnyKindJourney Sure i will consider 👍
Just what I needed to watch :) Greetings from Latam
🌱🤗
Haha it made me so happy when you told the story about Finns standing in line to get a free bucket. That is such a Finnish thing to do 😁
I spent some months in Helsinki during university and miss it very much.
Living frugally also comes very naturally to me. Just like you I love watching how my savings get bigger. Of course there are also things that are not necessary but we still enjoy them and, therefore, spend money on them. For me that would be going out to eat because Berlin is vegan food paradise. Also a nice flat for myself rather than living in a shared space. But when it comes to being "cheap" in the eyes of others because we chose to not invest in things that are generally considered "normal" (e.g. car, new electronics, expensive clothing) we should always remember that it is our own life, not the life of someone else. And, therefore, we should live it the way it suits us best, not anyone else.
You are right! Thanks for the nice comment 😊❤ Hope you enjoyed Finland!
This was inspiring! I'm about to declutter so many things to live more frugal, and save more $$. I also love to shop 2nd hand so many unique options I find for myself and my family. Thank you for this video :)
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching 🌱😍
I just joined your page 🙂
I am a new subscriber and loving your channel. Happy New Year from a Welsh Frugal Vegan .Peace ,LOve and light 💚💚
Keep going, it will keep working and you will influence others. Most influencers are out there getting people to buy things. If you influence others just think all the good the ripple effect will do. Anything life affirming is a good way for all of us to live.
🤗🤗❤ thanks for the comment
Finland is my dream place. Hope to visit there someday 🌱
Bravo! I partially support your money philosophy. It's not worth spending lots of money for the things you can get half price or if you're gonna use only a few times😉
I m from Kolkata, India .I m a minimalist in nature and living single ..I collect gift vouchers given to by my office or friends on my birthdays ..it's been 4 years i never used cash for my cloths or shoes ...i use gifted coupons for it...One more thing people call me miser at times, but one lesson I learnt in my life - Being miser is better than asking for money from others....
So nice that you can live life of your own terms 🤗
YOLO ! Live it up !
✌🏼✌🏼
I am very happy to have seen this kind of content. It kinda resonates with me personally. I do hope will reach the stage where it's really comfortable ditching out from the mainstream neverending race. Keep inspiring!
So nice to hear, thank you Fendi 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing your Journey
Thanks for watching! 😊😊
More is never enough
Also another reason to live as frugally as you like or prefer is about generational wealth. Creating generational wealth is not just about giving your children all your wealth after you die, but it's also about teaching them about the value of money and things in general.
Might be more difficult with a daughter as she might just spend it on her husband because she’s “in love” , and we all know husbands & wives are replaceable , so gotta teach your kids fk your spouse go for the money , protect your money & invest it , but don’t go spending your fathers money on your lover who’s only there temporarily
Congrats, so nice to see more men using a sewing machine. You did a great job have more faith in yourself. For alterations theres lots of basic repairs vids on you tube, i find these helpful. If you go to fabric sewing shop, they do sell needle threaders, theyre little metal discs with a little wire loop to help thread the machine.theyre about £2 in uk and you get 2 0r 3 in a pack. Or try holding a little piece of white paper behind the needle, this helps you to see the eye of the needle better
Thank you for the tip! 🙌😊
It is wonderful to see someone so young has achieved the wisdom of simple living. It took me many decades to realise the benefits. I look back and realise the waste in terms of time and money.
Thank you Laurie for the nice comment ❤ Hope you live a peaceful life now 😊
I also live frugally. Partly it's because I want to spend as little as possible since my parents pay for my rent and I don't want to trouble them more than necessary. On the other side, I personally don't see a point in buying a lot. For example, how many pair of shoes do you need? I own only 1 decent pair of shoes (the rest are either ripped somewhere or just really old and look ugly) and I wish I could afford more sometimes. Then I start to think - I can easily save up to buy 1 pair of shoes a year and considering that my last shoes would still be in a good condition (since they were worn for only 1 year) I would have 2 pair. I could buy new shoes in this way and make a big collection over the years. BUT do I really need them all? Of course there are people who like to collect shoes/other things or just want to spend their money on them. I don't blame them. It's a personal choice. But for me, assuming that I now own 5 pair of shoes - it's too much. It would take me years to wear down all of them. I think the maximum of 3 pairs is plenty. Since I own 1 pair I plan to buy 1-2 more in a few years but nothing more than that. Mostly I like to simplify my life so I have 1 pair of shoes and wear them everyday and then when they are worn down I replace them.
I like the simplicity so much too! It would be insane to choose if you would have like 20 pairs 😄 Thanks for the comment! 🌱
Sometimes I do buy my clothing in secondhand stores. Thank you for the video.
Great Sam, thank you! 🌱🌱
I am moving and all my stuff is in 129 big boxes and of course this is in addition to furniture. I have been using the same 4 sets of clothes the last 2 months. And I am surprised how much I am so comfortable just to have this 4 pieces available till k do the unboxing .
All the love from Sweden
Yeah after a while you get so used to those it's hard to change 😄
Thanks for being an inspiration for many of us! great video and channel 👍
Thank you so much for the lovely comment ☘☘
Very inpiring video. Liked your videos too. There are very small set of people who post very good frugal and minimalist videos. You are one of them.
Kabilan, what a comment 🤩 Really gives me confidence! Thank you so much for your kind words and hope you will have a nice day 😇
I am frugal so I can travel and so I can buy Christmas for my family. My two splurges :)
Giving to others & experiencing life, how beautiful! 😊 Have you travelled somewhere recently?
sounds like myself also. I was just around others who did not care . Now that I am in my space more and more this is able to continue. Very Nice what you believe Mr.👍😊
Nice, Teri! The environment is so important. Thanks for the comment 😊
One way to get the needle threaded easily on your machine is to wet the back of the needle . the moisture will suck the thread through the hole and it wont be a pain . great tips btw ! I think this the sort of advice that is important and useful right now . good luck to you my friend ☺
Thanks for your tip, and good luck too 💚
I agree with you, brother. I wish to learn how to sew and use a sewing machine too.
It's so cool but I get so frustrated when I make an error and need to first remove what I made and then redo it all 😂 There's definitely a learning process
@@SunnyKindJourney it's okay. Mistakes and failures are a part of life. Before we get things right and succeed, those things happen in order for us to learn. I don't even know how to put a thread on a sewing machine, which part of it must I insert the thread and other issues like measurements, cutting the cloth, etc.. I believe that you are a magnificent learner.
@@SunnyKindJourney by the way, I'm from Manila, Philippines.
Slow living, something I need in my 7 day working life and am slowly (pun intended) getting into. If I slowly get into slow life does that mean I'm already living the slow life? I guess so, but cheers to even more slow life! 🍻
I would say yes! Going too fast to extremes probably isn't sustainable, slow and steady wins the race. Well done! 🙌🏼
I just stumbled on your channel. It's really great and we share the same lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your experience, it motivates me a lot ☺ great job with your pants.

Started watching a few of your videos, they're really good. Subscribed!
Thank you Mayank 🤩
new subscriber from the Phils. ! looking forward to more vids 🙂🙂
Awesome, thanks for being here 😍
Man the video is so relaxing
Great idea! Thank you! As you were asking for a tips...you can fix the shoes too! I am sure that you can do it with hands or on your sewing machine...or perhaps you need stronger one. Cooking is fantastic but you can invite friends or neighbors. That way some others will see what is possible when you start cooking at home.
And for traveling you can look for workaway site if you don’t know it. And you can use bicycle or hitchhike or ask your subscribers if someone would like to host you...
Thank you for the great ideas! Yeah I realized yesterday that actually I could try to fix those shoes as well, nothing to lose even if I fail and they get ruined I guess 😉
Bro. dont also forget that you will only live once in this planet, make a great choice, and leave your life to the fullest, coz we cant bring anything when we die.
I agree and that's my goal. Minimalism & frugal living for me is part of that - invest in things that actually matter, and usually in my life these things just don't happen to be material things 🌱 Thanks for the comment Marlon!
I’m with you brother
Oh man last year I found the buy nothing groups....so good
Thank you for sharing, very inspiring :) Greetings from Munich, Germany
Thank you, Yosi 😊🙌🏼

Be frugal & save as much as you can so later in life your money works for you instead of you working for money.
You are a life changer sir
I can very well relate to frugal living 🙌
Awesome ✌🏼🤗
Exactly What i want From my Life ❤️ ✈️
🙌🏼😇
“If I had more income I wouldn’t live as frugally as now, I would buy higher quality things’ , the environment is important so I reuse clothes but then love to travel & fly around the world. A few mixed messages here, sounds like sensible budgeting to me rather than some higher purpose ethical living! Nice sewing by the way, I can’t even thread the cotton on mine 😂
Yeah I mean I would buy things that last longer & are more sustainable in the things that I have to buy already anyway like food, running equipment, tech stuff to make these videos, furniture etc. Still do a lot of second hand shopping in these areas but quality of course still costs more. About the flying, I've actually mainly flewn to see family inside Europe in the past years. Not really interested in multiple cross continental holidays a year even though not owning a car and being vegan keeps my own footprint pretty low 😄 A lot to improve eco wise still of course 😏
I think he said, “move to another country”, and specified not flying to Japan, Alaska etc. Not “fly around the world”. He’s in Finland. He can actually go all but the last 50 miles to Alaska on oand and then take a boat. He can go by bus and train to Spain, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan or China. He could basically cycle, even.
@@eh1702 Thanks for the comment and seeing what I meant! 🙌🏼 Yeah I actually prefer to move for at least multiple months than have these "7-day Bangkok holidays" 😄 Environmental impact is something that is always there when travelling (except if I go to China by bike😉), and I really want to be aware of my own actions as I think everyone should. So a lot to improve as always but I think I'm already doing a lot of things right which I'm proud of 😊
I like this take. Thanks dude
I love this kind of contend. Your video immediately reminded me of a Brazilian UA-camr (his channel is called Vida Simples by Júnior Kuiawa). Different ppl and cultures but same style, thoughts, and behaviors. His channel is getting bigger and I see the same future in yours. Good luck!!!
By the way, I've never bought second hand clothes, but mine have been used so many times that they look like second hand. I'm pretty sure that second hand clothe sold are newer than my casual ones.
Thank you for the comment! I have to check him out 🙌🏼🌱
You inspire me to be more frugal. Like the great writer Thoreau did.
Awesome 🙌
😊 very nice. I think if you are happy with the pants then you did good. I have a thrifted sweater that I paid $5 and I loved it. It finally wore out and looked rough and even in an effort to save money I don’t want to look sloppy so I had to toss it. But the $5 was well spent. ❤ I love your attitude on life
Thank you 😊
You definitely have far more things and stuff in your home than I do, and I have never seen a minimalist with this amount of stuff.
Thanks to YT for suggesting your video to me! Beautiful Pictures paired with your point of view. A perfect start into this day! Also thanks to you for sharing it with us! 😀
Thank you for the nice comment 😍
I came across your channel tonight and just noticed you’re from Finland! My grandparents are from Finland too. They were also people who lived frugally so I think it might be in my blood.
So cool! 🙌🙌
love this mindset!
🙌
You read my mind LOL! your why are you so calm video also sounded like me 😸
🤗🤗
You know, beside it is lovely to watch frugal living content, it is also a really good coincidence to watch a youtuber in Finland.
I'm recently amazed by people of Finland. How you guys only small in numbers, but excels in many things as a country.
There are a lot of content about living in Japan, or something like "a day in the life of Japanese carpenter" Or something like that. Like Paolo from Tokyo, he covers a day in the life of Japanese blablabla from various professions.
I hope either you or other youtuber from Finland could cover such things too.
Will definitely do one soon! Thanks for the nice comment 😊
Really great advice man!
Agree with the cooking at home, another benefit is that you know exactly what’s in your food and the enjoyment of cooking it yourself.
Great thinking with making sure you have some savings to one side in case something happens or something comes up, that’s what I’m working towards
Great sewing work too man, way better then I can do, I’m useless on a sewing machine.
Great video man!
Paul, I'm pretty much useless too. Or at least was before but now I don't want to buy new pants all the time so I have to adapt 😄 Thanks for the nice comment!
@@SunnyKindJourney glad you adapted mate! And no worries, thanks for the great content.
