One of my least favorite things about modern society is when people ask, “What do you do?” with the expectation that the answer will be an occupation. If I were to say, “I like to hike,” I’d get a funny look, but in reality that is just as valid of an answer. That expectation just goes to show how obsessed society is with work, productivity, and general busyness, at least in the USA anyway.
Easy! Say “I work as a manager”. You manage your own life and provide for yourself (I hope so). But what’s wrong with work? Somebody has to work and pay taxes so we all can live in a safe, clean environment.
I agree. But for me, what I least like is when we are asked to introduce yourself, or say things about yourself. The default answer of most people, myself included, is to say what they do for a living. And I hope that changes because there are more things that define us than our jobs. Now I am intentionally trying to define myself differently.
Agreed! This was something written in the book How To Be F&*#ing Awesome…love it. “What do you do is such a boring question, leading to a short and boring answer with little scope for conversation to follow.
@@rubyus7332 I worked as a 5th grade teacher for 35 years before retirement, then did some subbing. My granddaughter is in college now studying to become a teacher also. Some jobs require a college education. Fun times also!! 😁
I just retired at 58. I’m learning ALOT from you sir. I’m still young and want to enjoy my life -- side hustles and more time with less money. You are very inspiring. Since I just started watching your videos 6 months ago. I’m watching them all. Starting with trying to decluttering but I’ve realized so much more .
As someone who has made so many financial "mistakes", and feels like I could write a book about it, I want to thank you for making me feel I can change! Wish me luck! 🤗
This is the first time I have ever heard of you Gabe, I just watched only 2 of your videos barely right now and I am now really intrigued by minimalism…. And I say that because looking at my life right now, I have so much s*** that’s in my possession BUT i don’t even use it, or wear it, or play with it…. And now I just want to bag it all up and take it somewhere where others can benefit from it and be blessed with it….. so I would like to say THANK YOU 🙏 😊
Congrats on starting your course dude!! Love all the film roll with random bits with your family mix! Love all the advice, mostly about being obsessed with no balance. Good word.
Definitely will check out the courses. Less is truly more......and let me say as I have aged. I recognize I am easily replaceable at work. I give extra on a consistent basis but am working on managing my personal work life balance. I am happy at home. I don't need stuff anymore. I appreciate the quiet in the mornings. And experience s. I love your videos!!!!
Minimalism does not mean being frugal IMO. It means to use less things but better quality of things and live life in the moment. Stop worrying about the future and just let past stays in the past.
Careful about living in the moment. We were forced to live day to day due to serious illnesses, and it messes you up; it really does. I don’t believe in that anymore after so much life experience. Truly trying to get through minute by minute messes you up BIG TIME. Like most things, a balance is needed.
Thank you for your thoughts and advice about this type of minamilisum. Watched it twice and took notes the second time. It's awesome how many facets of minamilisum there really are to incorporate into our lives. 😊😃 Really like listening to your channel.
Love all those rules! Each of them is a great way to keep making better versions of ourselves every day. Truly inspiring, great thing to start doing these rules. One step at a time.
I moved back with my mom & started to work on my keeping my sustainable income... hopefully it works well... I started my savings and concentrating more on side hustles. Ur channel helps a lot, dude. 👍💯
I actually started a new job a month ago. The analysis paralysis is severe. Then my car broke down and I went with a newer car to continue on with work. Selling the old car. Canceled out so many subscriptions. May join the curling club. I have a home gym. Still downsizing
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
Actually I trade crypto currency on her broker with assistance from there top crypto analysts Mrs Margaret she's my professional assistant. I have been under her for 2 years now.... I've really made alot trading from her strategies in Cryptocurrencies this period.
These principles have been a game changer for me. Being rather neurodivergent, these all came naturally for me. I was able to quit my career this past spring. FIRE+Minimalism=Freedom!
Hello Gabe, Nice 👍 video content with the filming roll and I liked to see your family in there as well!... Congratulations for your baby! It is adorably cute and healthy 💖🥰 I like all the topics related to minimizing and finances, so please keep them coming!
I love your channel and I hope you don’t stop being you have a course out now. I can’t afford your course at this time so I really hope you don’t stop this channel.
Great points, Gabe! I'm trying to stick to my budget. I have had a budget for a long time but never stuck to the exact amounts I allocated. So, it's difficult but I'm learning to let go and have less.
You don't need his course, the books are free in the library! 😂 any way everyone doesn't want the hassle of your own business! Health insurance on your own will drain you. I'm a retired teacher in California. I loved my job, great pay, great hours, job security! We have the best benefits, because our union is strong in all states. NEA..if you can read this, thank a teacher!🌴😍
*TO EVERYONE 👇🏻👇🏻* You're the best, always remember this and don't be pressure or intimidated by the success of others. Everyone has their own success story but different timing 🤔 Don't compare your journey to those whose journey are different from yours.... Time is on your side and your timing is different from theirs. Just Keep grinding👏🏾, because am very sure one day, you will also be celebrated. Have a blessed day *I Love You 🌸 *
I would still want to build a savings as well so just in case something happens regarding the others streams of income. Dealing with the pandemic and economic issues with a war, made me think or that as well
I am ready to invest in different ways, thought of the stock market and crypto but the way the world economy is right now 😅, we are heading to nowhere good

Love your videos. Because you actually practice what you preach.
As soon as you said, Less is not laziness, I hit the thumbs up! Yes...

Great points, however in the video Gabe's specifically talking about *Financial* Minimalism.
Careful about living in the moment. We were forced to live day to day due to serious illnesses, and it messes you up; it really does. I don’t believe in that anymore after so much life experience. Truly trying to get through minute by minute messes you up BIG TIME. Like most things, a balance is needed.
They can go hand in hand and are similar but as you mentioned they're not the same.
minimialism means different things to different people. for me its only having things u truely love in ur life.
Genuine sustainability requires frugality, in recognition of the finite resources that make up almost everything we buy.
Preparation is more important than performance

Aside from learning a lot from this smart guy, (I rarely comment on physical features) I can't help but notice, he's just so handsome. 😊
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
People prefer to spend money on liabilities,Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
Despite the Economic recession ,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $70, 000 return from my $6,000 on short term
Wow, I'm just shocked you mentioned Expert Margaret thought am the only one trading with her
Actually I trade crypto currency on her broker with assistance from there top crypto analysts Mrs Margaret she's my professional assistant. I have been under her for 2 years now.... I've really made alot trading from her strategies in Cryptocurrencies this period.

Great video!
But I really get distracted because of the background music. Am I the only one?
Great concept! Looking forward to applying it to my financials. 👍🏽👍🏽
money is everything and more money is better and always the anser
Very insightful, thanks for creating great content about minimalism.
These principles have been a game changer for me. Being rather neurodivergent, these all came naturally for me. I was able to quit my career this past spring. FIRE+Minimalism=Freedom!
Great advice. I liked and subscribed.
Everything popular is wrong.. love it!
Started to subscribe your channel 2 years back. Wow, you have improved and grown a lot. Enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!

I need to read all those books! 😊
I don’t like being busy . I love having nothing to do
Me too
Where are the beds from at 4:08? Great info, as always.
you should wear out those 80 percent of clothes (that would fit with your saving 100k video theme as well)
Also I try to put myself out if my comfort zone! Doing this enhances your physical side also per Dr Sanjay Gupta!
Minimalism is the Way n my motto 💯
You know, "do the opposite" is pure George Costanza."
Gabe-you hold-up nicely in your close-up shots. Are you using different make-up? Did you change your lights?
You are a legend :)
I am interested in this financial minimalism course. However, I live in Canada. Would this impact the applicability of the course content?
My husband's motto is ... when you don't know what to do, do nothing. I need to (gently) guide him to your vids. :o)
*TO EVERYONE 👇🏻👇🏻*
You're the best, always remember this and don't be pressure or intimidated by the success of others.
Everyone has their own success story but different timing 🤔
Don't compare your journey to those whose journey are different from yours....
Time is on your side and your timing is different from theirs.
Just Keep grinding👏🏾, because am very sure one day, you will also be celebrated.
Have a blessed day
*I Love You 🌸 *
I hate reading non-fiction books but I think I will start reading one non-fiction book a month thanks for the idea/tip
Ps. Love fiction books though
Mec, the music is so loud
Is it doable in your 50s or is it too late build/rebuild?
It's not too late. Focus on ensuring you have no debt. It will open so many doors for you to enjoy your life more.
I live in a van and I am looking for a property to buy. Not to live in. To rent out.
I would still want to build a savings as well so just in case something happens regarding the others streams of income. Dealing with the pandemic and economic issues with a war, made me think or that as well
I want to do your course!!! Where do I sign up?
Laziness is also perfectly okay. Just embrace it.
someone’s been reading 4hr work week 👀. this is “rules that change the rules” almost to a t 😬
Serious question here, was your dad better looking or you at your age?
And don’t say ask your Mother.
You look perfect in this video.
How much is the course?

Love your vlogs 💖 💓 💕
Is that thing on your side a cardboard expandable bed? 2:45
Gabe I’m having trouble getting back into my course because I forgot the password. Can you double check that. Ty.
Can you send me an email
@@GabeBult Yes Ty.
I couldn't finish watching the video
Are you married and if you are, does your spouse have the same mindset?
They never do, lol. Stay single, if in love_ nothing legal.💗🌴😁
Most of the ideas I read it from tim ferris
❤
Hey Gabe, what's your opinion on US treasury I bonds? Current interest rate is 9.62%.
❤️💕😊
hello、
Dude. Is your income from being a landlord? Stop. Super wanted to respect you.
Student loans and medical expenses can kill minimalism quick
