    57 yrs old. Wife and 2 teenagers. We were horribly in debt. Large mortgage, massive student loans, two auto loans, credit card debt. We were drowning. Discovered minimalism about 5 years ago. Wife and kids not totally on board, but I put my all into it. Now 5 years later, credit card debt free, cars paid off 3 years ago, so no more car payments, student loans paid off, and a year of living expenses in cash in the bank. Debt free except for our (still big) mortgage. That’s our only big expense. Now, I can let my foot off the gas, a lot. We enjoy going out to restaurants too much, but that’s okay. We’ve earned it. People, it can be done! Commit and go hard core. Just for a few years. The freedom and peace of mind is worth it!

    You ABSOLUTELY have to say "no" more often. I’m a minimalist and have just what I need. Financial freedom is WAY more important to me. Say no to the constant online ads that you see, and say no to most of the stuff you see walking through stores, as well as junk food and junk drinks. I’ve been debt-free since 2005. Be intelligent about how you spend.

    I think people buy stuff to compensate for what feels like powerlessness over their time: they must work to live and "freedom" seems like a far-off dream: maybe retirement, if they should ever enjoy one. Stuff can be satisfying in the short run. Unfortunately it usually leads to buying more and more and -- as you say -- needing to pay rent to store it somewhere. Crazy but here we are. Excellent job as usual and congratulations on the UA-cam plaque: display it proudly!

You got my number when, it comes to having "too much stuff" and, no place to organize and store it properly. Learned the Freedom lesson way to late, to stop working for the "Man" in my 50's. But, I made sure to be set financially during my retirement years. Now in my early 60's, I retired last year. Living in "sunny" Southern California, I now have a fully paid-off home, no automobile loans, no personal loans, and no credit card debit. My monthly bills can easily be paid with, just my pension and social security. So, no need to pull any money from my retirement accounts. In addition, my current Net Worth is $1.4 million (with half in the value of my home and, the other half from liquid assets). So, I can truly testify when, you have "Financial Freedom" ... Life is good (smile ... smile).

My net just worth went over 100k at 36 and I was broke and struggling with addiction at 29-30. Even 10-20k, as a single guy, buys a lot of freedom, if you are smart.

    Sooner or later most people figure out that shiny trinkets really don't matter. Some people do it sooner, others take a bit longer. I'm fortunate that I figured it out early on. I had frugal parents and they got me started off on the right foot. In my first job I worked with some folk that were also frugal and were good role models for balancing spending wisely to enjoy today while still investing for the future. That was decades ago. We haven't had any debt except mortgage for 15 years, no debt at all for 10 years. Being able to simply walk away from a job that's gone sour is great. Being able to buy something that truly is of value to you is also great. And being able to retire a few years early is the best.

      @ElAgustin  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks! There's tons of work that goes into making a video where each video takes 20-30 hours to make with every component. Lately I've been focusing on quality, which has made me put more effort into each one which is why I've lowered my output a bit recently (plus to keep my sanity). I'm trying to produce as much as I can, but it's just me doing everything and I want to keep it that way so I'll see what I can do!

    OMG, my garage and attic look like your clutter pictures, lol. I need to declutter and prepare for retirement in 17 months. I decided to buy my freedom 17 yrs ago way too late but on track. I will be 62 yrs old with a military retirement, social security, and 500k in my 401k with no debt. Wish I started earlier. Never quit people, buy your freedom.
