  • Dear all, First of all thank you for all my new subscribers - sending you love & beautiful thoughts your way. Remember, we are all in this together!
    Now that I started to live more minimal lifestyle and decluttered a lot I stopped buying some things. In this video I am sharing with you items that I have stopped buying. Once I have decided to do so I found more head space & less worry over the things, less debate time with myself on items that I want to purchase. This also helps me to concentrate on achieving my goals & use my time efficiently. Other money related videos that could be useful:

      It is indeed, true! I feel that many people are drowning in unnecessary clutter of things that also slowly put them into debt. I am not against buying things or enjoying life but rather making conscious choices in what we truly need or want and what brings us real joy. Many times we are made to believe that if we don't have something we will not feel worth it or would not fit it and this one thing is required for our ultimate happiness.

      Nida Lighthouse yeah I also do shop becoz we earn not only for savings..but I shop which makes me content..i kno if I buy more n more n grow a habit to buy unnecessary things I ll never b content with what I have.for example I buy one foundation & buy new one after finishing this..i v several beautiful party dresses but not that much which I can not remember..its not about I v not capacity to buy more..its only about make life meaningful n achieving goals.

    Very sensible advice! My husband and I now just don't put the TV on after the kids are jn bed. We just talk and connect so much more now. And also more relaxed!

      It is true! When I discovered this in my life it was so relieving. It seemed as if I have discovered a secret that is such a simple thing!

    I have cancelled all my subscriptions or at least most of them. there are so many necessary, impulse purchases that are imposed on us, I feel like we are sucked in. This video was very useful thank you for all great tips!

    Just subscribed, my situation is a little different, we are retiring an d all I want from it is to live a simple unstressed life. I think I could get a lot of good tips from you. Looking forward to future videos!

    It's very true. At times we just buy things just to fit in without even realizing it. The only thing we need to change is our perspective.

    • @NidaLighthouse
      @NidaLighthouse  7 років тому

      Most of the time we already have everything we need to live comfortable life, next thing we need to do is to chase our dreams!

    Just subscribed to you 😃 you talk so much sense and it makes one think of all the waste we cause in our everyday lives 😥😥

    • @NidaLighthouse

      We dispose so many items way to quick. I feel it is better to buy better quality and less so that it lasts longer and we have more head space for other things to think of!

    For TV you can look into your local library system. Ours has Kanopy which is a streaming service, its free and has a lot of documentaries and classic movies as well as lots of other interests. Likewise I borrow books from the library digital and hard copy and give them back after reading.

    such a good idea to go browsing in shops without your wallet! :)

    • @NidaLighthouse
      @NidaLighthouse  7 років тому

      many time we get back and think about the item, then forget about even ever wanting it so badly :) other times it might be a purchase worth having but with same items available almost everywhere n different branches and online we can really give it some time!

    Do you have a video on cloth diapering? I would love to see how you strip them and details on how to keep them fresh. Great video and information :)

    • @NidaLighthouse
      @NidaLighthouse  7 років тому

      I intended to make one, I will make it in next couple of weeks with tips to keep it clean and fresh without toxins! Thank you for the idea!

    I think society as a whole, has a habit of not using things for its normal function. example: mugs. we end up collecting these items.

    • @NidaLighthouse
      @NidaLighthouse  7 років тому

      it is indeed a big problem. We just cant stop acquiring stuff. Inner voids, need for a scene of fulfilment or acceptance can not be bought. Our attention from whats important was redirected in very smart ways!
