My flat with all the things should be designed to help me becoming the ideal Version of myself. Everything has its own place. And anything I need is where i Use it. But i just started from beeing a messy to become a Kind of adult person
I loved this video, thank you for making it. I enjoy cooking and have really started to think about the beauty of making delicious simple meals with respect and time. You do not have to spend millions to make a meal special.
I try to adopt a minimalist lifestyle for me. My suggested minimalist ideal is that it is a bit of a shame to have more than you need at the same time when so many others have so little. When so many others have sacrificed their lifes and everything so that we can live, breathe and enjoy.
You are a very smart young man. I am 83 years old and you are exactly right. After I lost my husband in 2020, a year later sold my home, donated a lifetime of stuff and now living in a 10x11 bedroom with my daughter and don't miss any of the things I donated. Stuff does not make you happy, in fact it holds you down. I do miss my husband, we were married 59 years. Keep doing what you are doing, you are on the right path. Good luck, be safe and enjoy your journey.
I feel the same. I am from Germany and my grandmother was living like this. I think the next Generations has fallen back a Little. Now we have to find a new way :)
Honestly, it’s been years since I’ve found a channel that discusses minimalism without using the same cliches, tropes, and tired phrases as every other minimalist channel. You’ve earned a subscriber.
You stole my line.! I watched my dad clear out his belongings because he had 6 mos. Max. He gave things to neighbors, and he enjoyed it. He lived to be 87. Great attitude toward life.
One of my new minimalist ideals is something I like to call the "One Small Suitcase Project". What this means to me is that, after I am gone, everything that needs to be sorted through will be found in one small suitcase. I am now 60 years of age, and ever since I was a small child, I've only wanted to own a very few things. Of course, my life has not turned out that way. I've bought stuff, I've been married, I've received a lot of gifts, I've inherited stuff from parents and relatives. As I've worked through paring down my possessions (carefully and responsibly-not taken to the curb in black trash bags), I've discovered that same sense of freedom you describe. I've also had a sort of epiphany in that I have decided to give the "best" and most "valuable" stuff away.This flies in the face of the commonly held philosophy that we get rid of the less valuable stuff and cling to the stuff we think is valuable. I'm ok with using old stuff and giving the good stuff to my local charity shop so that they can sell it and support the causes that I believe in. And, when I am gone, no one needs to figure out what to do with all my "treasures"! Thank you Austin, you are wise beyond your years.
I like the idea of giving away your valued stuff…. The person that gets it next will also appreciate it. Been doing this over the last couple of years and it’s very satisfying, you don’t feel guilty either as you know the items will raise money for charity and also serve someone else. Well done, 👍🏾
My father in law just died in March. He and his wife were hoarders. We took months decluttering that house. I determined that we weren't going to leave a nightmare like that for our family to deal with.
This is my favourite minimalist channel . Not gimmicky , just honest . I relate to your life values . Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and ideals so well 👍
Very precious lessons 👌🏼 My wife and I have lived the same experience in 1999 and it changed our lives forever! We have never worked more than 15 hours/week since we came back to Canada 🍁 Just turned 60 years old and still living a simple and fun life 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
I totally agree about the water bottle! Living on below poverty level atm for various reasons - it makes one aware how much unnecessary things cost - such as coffee in a coffee shop. Plus the environmental impact of plastic bottles and coffee cups.
My most delicious and creative meals are when my pantry is becoming empty and I don't have to many options to choose from! I refuse to throw away food and use every bit until it's time to go shopping again. Thanks again!
And in Europe we used to fix umbrellas in special shops. Good luck trying to do this in the US! Yes, i have lived in the US for 40 years and it is indeed cheaper to buy something new when your old stuff breaks rather than trying to fix it.
About 10 years ago I had a similar experience. I went on a 8 day hike in the wilderness. We had to carry e everything except water. I realised how little we need to have a good life. It was very liberating and a great life lesson 😀
I was into brand-name products when I was a teacher in a high school because there seemed to be a competiton for them in the office I worked at. When stuff like this accumulated in my home, I found myself trapped by them, It was then that I decided to live as simply as I could and enjoyed my freedom to the fullest.
I like to say that less is actually enough, when it comes to possessions. I keep to my budget as closely as I can. That way future endeavors can be a reality. On warm days I hang up the laundry to dry indoors so I save some money by not using the dryer. Also growing carrots indoors by a sunny window.
I live in England, I've been unemployed since my heart attack and live as frugally as possible, unfortunately the fuel and food prices are rising constantly so I'm forced to be frugal, your videos are interesting, its hard to be any more frugal than I already am, same goes for many of us here, keep making the videos.
In my Choir there is a tendency for me to want to match the beautiful fashions worn by other women. In the last year I decided on just two choir outfits, one for cold weather and one for warm. I deliberately wear the same thing. I’m practising my own ability to live happily with less clothing. The handle of my handbag basket, that I take to Choir, broke. Instead of buying a new one, I asked a friend to mend it for me. The two handles don’t exactly match, but I’m just as happy with it. Rose Australia
My's cousin's wife used to brag that if she lost a button of a coat, that was the PERFECT reason to buy a new coat! (she couldn't sew a button!) gawd! Meanwhile...I sew all of my own curtains!
I have been in Ecuador 20 years. My local wife finnally left me 3 years ago and became a minimilist by default. I totally am on tbe same page as Austin and will never go back. I now live on a self sustaining farm and at 60....a great new life
I am 56 years old and have been enjoying what you have to say and will start 2023 doing the car hack. So cheers for that. You learn something new every day is so very very true.
You deserve great success Austin,strongly enjoy your content and can vividly relate to you. Once my i save my dividends for a few years and make them sustainable long term i plan to travel the world with just 1 normal backpack indefinitely. The top thing i learned was - You own your objects,don't let your objects own you.
I've been watching your videos and going back over some older ones, really liking them! We too in Australia have a mentality of replacing instead of fixing. I love watching this video seeing you mention you have 172 subscribers... and seeing you now have over 95,000 subscribers!
Love your videos! Your channel is going to do very well! I also wish we had more of a culture of fixing things rather than buying new in the United States.
One of the smartest things I've ever done in my life in the biggest payoff I ever gotten was buying a beat-up run-down house and rebuilding it myself slowly over the course of twenty years I've had other homes but this one took a lot of work I was patient and I tell you I was about to sell it three times out of frustration but I stuck in there now I'm extremely happy about the decision I made I love this house deeply it's a wonderful place it's 90% done I know how to repair everything in the house and it's just been a blessing across-the-board and I've helped so many good people get on their feet so there's it it was a Frugal move that paid off because it taught me how to be patient it taught me how to do repairs it has paid off handsomely financially in many ways and my home is paid for it fully and I know it everything about the house and it's been a huge huge blessing.. paid 5k for house 25yrs ago was offered 200.000 k recently. Thanks to jesus and YHWH...THEY GUIDED ME.
The US used to be a fix it country. I found an old skillet hole repair kit In my stuff. Everything was fixed, not thrown away. It is a disposable world now.
In America we're conditioned to value things that really have no value and can't value us. The upside is that we have the ability to reject that mindset. Life is temporary so it really makes no sense to try to attach permanence to things.
In 2007 I went for 10 months to New Zealand, I only had money saved up for 5 months, I did some odd jobs and learned to life great with little. Best school in life! I still get the most bang out of my buck, it's a mindset now...
Hi Austin, your video really gives me the courage & motivation to get rid of my stuff that I thought worth hanging on to. Although, I am not moving but I am right now in the process of having a good clear out. I´m not gonna lie but it can be very overwhelming at times! I aim to have at least one section or part of the house that I clear/sort out each day even if it is just either one drawer/cupboard/wardrobe. Donate, Re-home & if in doubt, I just chuck it out! t´s liberating! Thank you for your motivational minimalist video🙏 I love your swagger moves at the end🕺👏👏 Muchas Gracias!🇪🇨
I'm glad that you had that experience and that it changed your life for the better! I would say that the most important things for me would be photos of my family: albums and photos hung on the wall. I think I could get all of them into two suitcases, but they would have to be large enough to hold a 16 x 20 framed photo. ;-)
This man opened my eyes. Thank you so much dude really. I appreciate this smart way of living and not having a purpose on meaning less material possessions.
I follow a few of these things but I I definitely agree with leaving with a full stomach, and your water can. I definitely don’t wear flashy clothes. I’ll only buy new shoes once my other ones start talking. I will try to spend the very minimalist to nothing
When I lived in Korea with a Korean family, I first realized that even being a lower income person in the USA is still a lot of possessions and money to others elsewhere.
My dear Austin, thank you for your much needed channel! I agree with most of your content and love listening. Keep up the great work…this is important stuff especially in a world of excess !!!♥️
Hi Austin, Could you do a video and comment on heath care insurance. I've found low premiums lead to high co-pays and high yearly deductibles (usually in the thousands) which could bankrupt me quite easily. I wonder if you or your listeners have faced this issue.I really love your you tube channel. thanks Pat
Hi, great videos mate, keep it up. While walking my dog a few weeks ago I was thinking of the saying I heard from my Grandad many moons ago, “look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves” Sounds like it’s international.
Looking around my house I have a lot of “nice” thinks. 90 percent of it I bought used or was given to me. I have lived in my house 10 years And besides the fridge I have repaired every appliance once. Crazy to think of all the crap I could have put in a landfill by now if I made different choices.
Do you read books? Do you consider books being of value? I used to read on a kindle - but I hated being tied into Kindle / Amazon. I started buying books via Half Priced Books. That is now a consideration for me of the storing of the books etc. I do not notice any books in your apartment. 2. Do you journal? Do you use paper for anything?
I own a Kobo Ereader which means I don't need to buy books from Amazon. Here in the Netherlands it is possible to borrow ebooks from the library. Also, the epubs for many classic books are freely available online.
@@ElAgustin Thanks for responding. More videos on "The Man"! - I am 53. I have felt many of things you express throughout my life. And I am proud of you for saying it all out loud.
Awesome videos new subscriber !! Just to let you know I am in Santa Cruz California everything is over price including mortgage cost! The only thing I have here is my beaches and the beautiful mountains...😆 🤣 😂 LOL
My father was from Mexico, we always fixed our own things, my mother was born in Virginia we always fixed our own things, eventually you either become too old to disabled or too frail, I'm still glad I can bathe myself and open my own cans. My body hurts everyday there's things I want to fix in my house, when I call a repairman the job is too small and they won't accept it because the job is not paying enough and I can't get things fixed because I'm not physically able to.

What's one of your minimalist ideals?
Just knowing where everything is in my house and what i have if you were to call me on the phone and ask where i keep such and such an item.
My flat with all the things should be designed to help me becoming the ideal Version of myself. Everything has its own place. And anything I need is where i Use it. But i just started from beeing a messy to become a Kind of adult person
I loved this video, thank you for making it. I enjoy cooking and have really started to think about the beauty of making delicious simple meals with respect and time. You do not have to spend millions to make a meal special.
Simple wardrobe, just a few items, things I absolutely love to wear and will wear them over and over again.
I try to adopt a minimalist lifestyle for me. My suggested minimalist ideal is that it is a bit of a shame to have more than you need at the same time when so many others have so little. When so many others have sacrificed their lifes and everything so that we can live, breathe and enjoy.

Honestly, it’s been years since I’ve found a channel that discusses minimalism without using the same cliches, tropes, and tired phrases as every other minimalist channel. You’ve earned a subscriber.
I'm trying!
I also learned bc I lived in Canada and Japan for a year that's how I started to be minimalist and understand that we don't only need 2 bag's of stuff
I spent the first 50 years of my life acquiring things, and now I am spending the rest of my life trying to downsize!! The irony of it all !!!!
Ha! 👍Story of my life😲Glad to know I´m not alone❣😊
You stole my line.! I watched my dad clear out his belongings because he had 6 mos. Max. He gave things to neighbors, and he enjoyed it. He lived to be 87. Great attitude toward life.
same here, goodwill is a regular stop on the weekends for me. the hubby and i spend my weekends cleaning and decluttering
as my children approach becoming adults, I feel the same desire. Why do I have all this 'stuff'?!
One of my new minimalist ideals is something I like to call the "One Small Suitcase Project".

I totally agree about the water bottle! Living on below poverty level atm for various reasons - it makes one aware how much unnecessary things cost - such as coffee in a coffee shop. Plus the environmental impact of plastic bottles and coffee cups.
Exactly, why pay for water when you can just pour it yourself :-)
My most delicious and creative meals are when my pantry is becoming empty and I don't have to many options to choose from! I refuse to throw away food and use every bit until it's time to go shopping again. Thanks again!
Think protein carbon fibre not this goes with that you end up with Making mixtures

Anna! Yes, unfortunately no umbrella repair shops in the US! Thanks for sharing!
In which country? I am German.
Im from germany and never heard something like that
I built my own home gym. Also bought some equipment but every time I use my self made tools and machines I am a little proud of it. ☺
About 10 years ago I had a similar experience. I went on a 8 day hike in the wilderness. We had to carry e everything except water. I realised how little we need to have a good life. It was very liberating and a great life lesson 😀

Fantastic content. Thank you for sharing. Binging your videos rn! Minimalism is the way to live!!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy my videos!

Minimalism has been the key to my happiness. 🧡 🐪
Great video I buy quality stuff downsizing now at 53 don't need much
I just love your content. You inspire me so much ❤
The US used to be a fix it country. I found an old skillet hole repair kit In my stuff. Everything was fixed, not thrown away. It is a disposable world now.
Yes, we need to go back to fixing things.
Of all your videos, this was my favorite one. There was so much common sense advice and interesting tidbits of info.
absolutely brilliant....ecuador taught you....well done
I ask myself ..Want vs need?....before purchasing something. Enjoy your videos!
In America we're conditioned to value things that really have no value and can't value us. The upside is that we have the ability to reject that mindset. Life is temporary so it really makes no sense to try to attach permanence to things.
In 2007 I went for 10 months to New Zealand, I only had money saved up for 5 months, I did some odd jobs and learned to life great with little. Best school in life!
I still get the most bang out of my buck, it's a mindset now...
Yes, when I traveled I had so little money and made it work. Now it is impossible to get out of that mindset, it's so ingrained in me.
Greetings from England. Thank you Austin for all your encouragement.

Thank you!!!
Hello from London, England 🇬🇧 Great videos thoroughly enjoying them!
This is my favorite video of yours! Thank you!
Great video Austin, it is amazing how much money you actually need to live on. I have always just dressed down. Covid has reinforced practical living.
Yes, covid has taught us all a number of things.
When you started singing and dancing "no vemo, chico" I lost it lol
Haha, thanks!
Making stuff yourself is valuable but I believe we should support those with skills. Develop a needed skill.
Brilliant. Best minimilist video I have watched. Thank you.
I'm glad that you had that experience and that it changed your life for the better! I would say that the most important things for me would be photos of my family: albums and photos hung on the wall. I think I could get all of them into two suitcases, but they would have to be large enough to hold a 16 x 20 framed photo. ;-)
This man opened my eyes. Thank you so much dude really. I appreciate this smart way of living and not having a purpose on meaning less material possessions.
I'm glad to hear my videos are providing you value!
You're an amazing human being. Peace and blessings ☪️
Great video and advice Austin.
Oh my gosh Austin, I'm learning so much from you. Grazie from Italy
I follow a few of these things but I I definitely agree with leaving with a full stomach, and your water can. I definitely don’t wear flashy clothes. I’ll only buy new shoes once my other ones start talking. I will try to spend the very minimalist to nothing
I've recently found your channel and I am very impressed with your wisdom and passion! Keep doing what you're doing, and muchas gracias for sharing!

I love your blogs, you are so smart, I am going to learn a lot
Do you read books? Do you consider books being of value? I used to read on a kindle - but I hated being tied into Kindle / Amazon. I started buying books via Half Priced Books. That is now a consideration for me of the storing of the books etc. I do not notice any books in your apartment. 2. Do you journal? Do you use paper for anything?
Howdy Terry, I usually just check out books at the library so I don't accumulate books. Not too much paper in my life!
I own a Kobo Ereader which means I don't need to buy books from Amazon. Here in the Netherlands it is possible to borrow ebooks from the library. Also, the epubs for many classic books are freely available online.
@@ICE-or8zw I guess I enjoy reading a book. I enjoy picking up a pen. I enjoy thinking with pen and paper. Thanks for sharing.
@@ElAgustin Thanks for responding. More videos on "The Man"! - I am 53. I have felt many of things you express throughout my life. And I am proud of you for saying it all out loud.

My father was from Mexico, we always fixed our own things, my mother was born in Virginia we always fixed our own things, eventually you either become too old to disabled or too frail, I'm still glad I can bathe myself and open my own cans. My body hurts everyday there's things I want to fix in my house, when I call a repairman the job is too small and they won't accept it because the job is not paying enough and I can't get things fixed because I'm not physically able to.
