The things you own end up owning you.
This might be to real for people but it's the truth,"you come in this world with nothing, and you will leave this world with nothing".
Exactly, I've never seen a U-Haul behind a Herse... have you
It's not about the time you come or you go.
Its all about the time In between.
there are no coffins stuffed with $100 bills.
2015 I went threw a devorce .
I basicly had my car and camp gear , clothes . I finally bought my land and a used camper .
Liveing a minimalist lifestyle was good for me . I lightenedy load , I have built a small modern cabin . Offgrid , I do have stuff , tools to live offgrid ,but still minimalist,
I love my new lifestyle.
I feel rich. Free , blessed .
Selling my house and looking forward to a more meaningful life!
Awesome!
Life is all about experiences & friendships. Without experiences, there's no memories, and with no memories there's no story to tell.
Yes and no. When you want to start a music-band you will need to buy a guitar or drums or whatever...or no one will want to work with you. So no experiences without some kind of stuff.
And without money, you can't tell a story
In a world of things, where possessions sway,
I own almost nothing, and here I'll stay.
Happiness found in simplicity's embrace,
Living with less, a serene and tranquil space.
A clutter-free haven, where joy takes flight,
Not burdened by things, in the soft moonlight.
For in the essence of now, I find my glee,
Embracing less, living light and free.
Material treasures may come and go,
Yet the heart's contentment continues to grow.
In the canvas of simplicity, colors unfold,
A great time to live with less, a story told.
With each breath, a mindful decree,
I own almost nothing, yet happiness is key.
In the beauty of moments, where true wealth lies,
Living with less, beneath the open skies.
People have a hard time letting go of things you can't take with you and I also live out of a suit case and never know where I will end up in life.
How do you live your life? Are you a full time traveller?
Instagram has me feeling shameful for not owning a whole lot.
I can live the minimalist lifestyle. However, I need a vehicle
Yes. Same. :)
Vehicle, phone, and grooming products.
And Financial Freedom !!
You are right Tim. Goodwill is no longer The Goodwill Thrift store , it's now The Greedwill Thrift store!
You are so right. Goodwill prices have gone up. Prob because of the “Come Thrift shop with me” videos. And also the resellers
I shop Goodwill Outlet (love it). Every thing is in bins and you pay per lb. I wouldn’t shop the regular Goodwill stores…too expensive
@@VeronicaRichardson1980 There's a Goodwill outlet!?😂
He who dies with the most toys, still dies.
Yep! All they won was the Wasted Life award
You either work or be homeless with a UA-cam channel and nothing last forever..Not many choices in America these days but I prefer to know where I will lay my head and where my next meal comes from..
Hey, Thank You Timothy. Yes, I'm from Germany and people rush from one thing to another, have no time for love and people in general, and have full to-do lists, and therefore have no time to enjoy their large apartments full of possessions. They have completely forgotten how to do this. I find these people to be unhappy with a strange, unfriendly energy. I myself have reduced everything down to a quarter. I stopped working for a while. Ownership no longer means anything to me because it made me unhappy, irritable, rushed and unfriendly. Today I often feel like I'm living on the wrong planet because everything out there seems so alien to me. Personally, I feel like a winner because I can renounce and let go and can finally live and breathe. 🙂
Pre-Industrial Revolution there was no accumulation of stuff, because there wasn't stuff being manufactured.
The key to drive this car called the minimalism is singleness ,without it it is impossible to live this fulfilling life especially in these times.
Less = More! …We leave this world the way we entered 'EMPTY-HANDED'.
Mr. Ward is the greatest inspiration to teach us life ain't about spending , its more of focusing inwards and paying more attention to what we absolutely need.
I like less clothes too 😂❤🎉
Same here😊
Hi Tim! Im a minimalist and ironically work in a retail clothing store. I have the basics…people think I’m weird but who cares! When I travel, I have a very small carryon and a small backpack which confuses tsa at the airport. But nevertheless, I wholeheartedly agree with living a minimalist lifestyle!
me too, i haven't traveled with anything larger than a carry on in over 25 years, even when I went to Crete for 2 weeks
I move a lot and because of that I had to let go of a lot of things due to the fact that I’m tired of moving . I do not own a lot of stuff myself by choice . People tell me all the time that I should spoil myself and my answer to that is what makes you think I don’t .
I guess you could say I made a huge sacrifice by leaving the US and coming to live in Thailand. I basically pay about $400 for rent & utilities here in Bangkok, which allows me to live in a very nice high rise on my SS. In many ways life is good. It's certainly MUCH less stress - easier. However, I have sacrificed being near friends, family and community. Whether I can build something of a community here remains to be seen. I do very much miss people back home, and we're all not getting any younger. So, food for thought I guess.
PS - I honestly saw no other way of having a life without going back to a 9 to 5 (I was a math teacher in China - going back to the US to teach ? Out of the question.. I think)
I often think of doing something like that, but I do worry about being so far from my only child . . .and learning a new language seems daunting
@@user33housecats You're correct to take both issues seriously. That's not to say it might still be a good move for you. At worst you could try it and come back if you're unhappy.
If you can afford a house it’s a great way to build a nest egg. I bought my house in 2008 for 98000 now it’s worth 230000.
i freaking love listening to you !!
Me and my daughter already have been practicing minimalism. She's 1 and even reminds me to get rid of certain items she notices that I don't really Need or use , she doesn't want a closet full of clothes or shoes , she enjoys her electronics and a few outfits she's comfortable wearing all day or just lounging around the house , she doesn't ask for much other than great tasting food , which is normal for a growing pre teen . She has a closet full of clothes that she never touches , so I'm donating the ones she chooses to let go and I will do the same with my wardrobe , i only have 2 pair of shoes , with worn down insoles , I will replace the insoles and keep my shoes , the outer shells are still in great shape , no need to but new ones at the moment. I love crystals , and spiritual items , other than that I dont really but things
Yeah I call them goals. My goal was to not eat out more than $100 a month. I failed that by day three. 😂😂
Your priceless, so is your advice 😊
I love shopping too much, and I think it's important to have a treat sometimes. But you are right, but I think people that own private jets and rich people should start the minimalist trend. 😂
i agree but what to do with these high rent prices without a home?
I just realized that the yellow ‘negative space’ on that Batman shirt makes it appear as a toothy, and a bit menacing smiley face, lol.😊
Unfortunately my biggest expense is having a space to live, as is the case for most people. I know I don't need fancy luxury items or even trivial trendy merchandise... but a roof over my head and basic utilities? Yeah, all my money goes toward that.
Less is more
Bro, your videos are so great for young individuals. The older generations still think it's 30yr to 40 yr ago or even 10yr. Individuals that have obtained a property over an extended period of time when they bought properties for 100k to 400k usually have the you can achieve it mentality while properties go for 1.5 mill hole in the wall 30yr old property that needs fixing more than a fix me up dirt in the back yard with no grass property.
Kudos...you get it. Good for you, my friend. The higher up you get at work, the more youll be asked to compromise your moral& ethics...little, by little. I couldnt do it. Now i am happy living simple. My joy comes from inside, not inadement objects. Please wake up people. Thank you for informing us.
I agree with you Timmy. Most people have waaay too much STUFF! The older I get the less I need. I've gotten to the point where less is more. It actually feels good to have, like you said, only what you need. I say, you are not what you own and you can't take it with you. P.S. I like your laugh and your light-heartedness. 😊
Two - Suitcase Timmy!!😂😂 Luv it!
I totally 155% agree with this message!!!!!
The Holy Spirit has already been teaching me this deep down in my Soul!!!!! 😊
I have tried getting rid of things, but end up putting things back in there old place.
Sorry I missed this live, Tim! However I wanted to report I bought “ Living the Wisdom of the Tao” thanks for the recommendation!
Also, you mentioned about those who live with chronic illness/pain and I identify with this. I am here and in the land of the living. Diabetes took away my love of cereal but hey, some people can’t eat at all🤷🏽♀️also, I am grateful for the little things in life even more.
Good evening, everyone
Everybody wants to be the same Jones !!
Most people become slaves to their assets and you can’t take it with you when you die..
I have always been a minimalist and my husband tries to clutter my empty space with his things...no way buddy
Your message is on Point sir!🎉🎉🎉
I used to have a huge Batman Forever Batcave set for almost 2 decades. I gave it up and many other toys and figurines. Life is much smoother with less.
I fully endorse this message !
Been living minimally over the past 5yrs.
HI TIM NICE TOPIC YOU ARE RIGHT DONT YOU FEEL GREAT GIVING UP STUFF YOU DONT NEED ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAN HELP SOMEONE IN NEED THANKS FOR SHARING TIM HAVE A BLESSED DAY YOU YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR UA-cam FOLLOWERS 🙏🏽❤️
Love your channel brother!! You do great work.
Love the shirt yo...
HI TIM I HAD TO DO ANOTHER COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC TIM I APPRECIATE OUR ANCESTORS THEY WENT THROUGH A LOT TIM PLEASE WATCH THE CHILDREN’S MARCH 1963 TIM YOU WILL BE TOUCHED FROM THE BRAVERY OF THOSE KIDS THANKS FOR SHARING MY FRIEND AND SOBRIETY BUDDY 🙏🏽❤️
Bro you sound just like me. Hi 5 to you man.
Peace. Be still💪🏿💯
I am working hard because I am supporting animal rescue groups it gives me joy & satisfaction helping others!
As an Israelite, people value their possessions and vanity so much sometime because of the sorrows and regrets that come with it .
True. However, I need a roof over my head and a reliable car for my safety, and I sorely miss some of the items I had in storage. Mostly the things that had sentimental value to me. I love your optimism. Sadly, I can't see the good times coming back around.
The good times always come back around, eventually.
I have let go of everything so far I still have shelter and food and my place, have not worked since July 2023. Tried working 2 other jobs after that quit after first day and after 4 weeks, the energy was too toxic. Been applying and no one is hiring. I am ready to just move back home.
How old are you
Love you man
I own three homes. I don’t believe in wasting money in things that depreciate and are wasteful. But I do acquiring assets that support my goal of financial freedom.
I’m in a no spend challenge. Tomorrow is day 4. It was harder than I thought. I’m doing the extreme though. I work from home so I’m looking to not even drive anywhere and not spend money on gas.
People say why did I spend 2000 dollars on my e-bike
Why not get a car or truck
My e-bike is brand new with warranty and service tune ups and wayyy cheaper than a car at that point.
I pay insurance if I choose to not because I have to.
I don’t need gasoline every time I need or want to go anywhere..I just get on my e-bike and use the battery if I want…to…
Saves me money and time from fooling with a car
Damn. I keep missing the live streams
Batman Tim💪
If you have people you truly love who love you you don't need many things, but people with lots of stuff I have observed, are the kind who worry what others will think, they need to love more
I fully agree.
" Yes I'm in the passenger seat Scrubbing it"😂😂😂😂
Hello Tim. "They" don't mean own nothing and be happy the same way you mean it. :)
I know. That was kind of the whole point of the stream lol.
I left that comment early in the stream. I guess I have to work on my impulse control.@@TimothyWard
💥💪💯
…Relatable. ❤️👏
😎💕
I use to have that shirt
If you had everything in the world..... where would you put it all?
Soon I will be selling my old car 🚙 for an ebike. I work from home and do not drive often. I am storing some of my things because I cannot afford a house . I own no furniture or a TV set. I am currently living with my Boomer parents which can be challenging. There are a lot of us who own very little, and have no place of our own to keep the little that we do own because homes, apartments,etc are too expensive.
Be careful the powers that be want you to own nothing, and consume insects instead of meat 😅
Everything is moving digitally though, I also am a minimalist Tim ✌️
Can't be minimalist if you expect world to go mad with energy, food rising scarcity and/or inflation, not to mention local/global revolts and armed conflicts. Or turning the society into anarchy. In that scenario, owning a mere two bags of stuff will be detrimental to your survival. Our ancestors, at least in the recent history, had to plan and prepare accordingly. Only the cavemen lived as animals and even they needed a shelter. Which the minimalist probably doesn't have as he owns nothing.
Not saying being prepper is the way to live nor sure if that is the viable lifestyle, but at least they gather stuff useful to survival.
JOHN D ROCKFELLER......."MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING. I SHOULD KNOW...I HAVE MONEY AND I HAVE EVERYTHING..."
Timothy, I like your videos. But keep them to twenty minutes or less. No one has the time to spend 2 hours on a you tube video. Just a thought.
I have to agree, sorry Tim
If you’re homeless you have all the time you need to enjoy what Tim is saying.
True, i just think he knows alot of people listen to him in the background or with headphones while they do their errands. That's what i do.
Or I guess watch it in sequences ?
I'm pretty sure the gov said own nothing and be happy is this a trap 😂
2:27:50 toothpaste?
Im happy with little.
You can still know a lot and own nothing.
Insane
If you don't have kids, it is ok. If you have kids, is it ?
Yes. It’s okay either way 😁
Either way you can always live simply
I get what you're saying but dig deeper The goal is to create a permanent slave wage class.
💔 "Promosm"
"Own what you need and few other things of what you love." Love it to the max!!!!! 💕💕💕🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
You don’t need stuff it just makes peoples slaving seem worth the squeeze people need food and water pair of shoes clothes if it’s cold outside. Housing and cars are horrible wastes of money get a bicycle live in a tent if you have kids the government makes you pay a lot for their idea of housing so that makes you need a job and a car to pay taxes having kids makes you pay the government essentially it’s why polygamy is illegal the government doesn’t want one guy joining the military and having everyone being a dependent all the women would marry one dude and the government only gets one slave.
Wish I knew having kids would close most of my options. I could have probably retired by now otherwise.
@@chrishart8548 Same. It seems so obvious now… Didn’t think about it clearly.
