      I agree with your list. You inspired me to start reading again, and I've been putting all the books I want on hold at the library. Free books are the best! And I don't have to worry about decluttering them afterwards.

    Re special occasion clothing: I do have multiple items because I do love dressing up, but if you don't particularly and you're not that interested in renting my recommendation is to buy a nice black dress that fits you well and then accessorize it for different occasions instead of buying multiple pieces that you'll only wear once. Then you'll have different looks but only the one dress in your closet.

    • @historyturtle20
      @historyturtle20 Рік тому +1

      I did that one year, and I loved it. I knew the dress looked good and I would dress it up with jewels and heels or dress it down with a scarf/cardigan and sandals. I bought another black dress to have 2 different styles.

    I love how focused you are on using what you already have. It's such a good reminder that whatever we already have is more than enough. Most of us don't need more than maybe 3 pairs of shoes, but it's really about what things genuinely bring you joy and what you're buying just to fill emotional voids.

    I am going to try to do it the other way around. Look at what I will buy next year. This way you have a positive spin and still get dopamine when you look forward to purchases. I also try to add something I really love on my weekly grocery list. This influences me in my daily life and the result is not to want to go and spend money on things I did not deside on. I have realized that "essentials" is way way less then we think. My essentials this year where some unexpected tax and my adobe+books for my college classes. The rest of what I spend was on things that where more expensive "to improve my life" so I would say be carefull not to spend more because you go for higher quality things. There is a big chanse you still will be decluttering a lot. What also helped me was to chose what I really wanted to focus on. Did I want to buy healtier food? Put more in a spesific erea of my life? Experiment with hobbies? We all want to fill our lives and are looking for ourselfs, thinking we are not whole. This year I will look inwards and have fun with what I do add to my life. Love your videos, cheers.

    Totally feel the clothing that doesn't fit right! As a 6'3" woman I've struggled with this a lot. I now invest in pieces that fit me perfectly and it's all that I wear!

  • @sissyrouse1473
    @sissyrouse1473 Рік тому +15

    One thing to consider on not buying clothing pieces that don't fit, is you can always have them altered a bit for a perfect fit. I'm not talking about major changes, but I often have to have pants hemmed and a dart or two put in around the waist as I'm bottom heavy. I'm also smaller on top than around my stomach, so I'm rarely going to find a "perfect" fit off the rack. Find yourself a good seamstress. The money you spend to make your favorite items fit, will be cheaper than buying several items that you don't love.

    I just started my journey on minimalism and am very busy decluttering my house, but I already keep a register of everything I spend my money on for years. So I decided to do a complete no buy for a month and if it works out I might continue it. There is one thing that is very difficult for me and that is hobbies. I just love all these materials, but I will not buy anything for my hobbies this year. There is already so much in my house that it should lest me for more than a year 😅.

    We have a puzzle exchange in a neighboring town and a new one at a close library. Then I keep my eye out for puzzles at our thrift store. I did splurge on puzzles during Black Friday this year. The past couple of years I've made myself wishlists all year long then took advantage of BF sales to get discounts (on anything, not just puzzles)
    Last year I resolved not to buy any new skin care items, make up, lotion, face wash, etc. until I used up most of my other ones. I did pretty well on this, although I found out that scented hand creams were causing eczema on my hands so I did have to buy some lotions that I could use.

    While it's always good to reflect and work on any spending habits that may need more improvement, one thing that I want to spend more time working on without the extra cost is my mindset. Perhaps this'll be easier once the holidays are over and people are less stressed or agitated, but I'm finding myself getting way too worked up over things that are unproductive or unnecessary. It's making it hard for me to be a more positive person and to maintain healthier relationship dynamics....

    Ever since I quit working in fast food, I've almost entirely cut it from my diet, along with the kids' diet (at least on our custody time. Other parent is shit but lol can't fix that.
    The goal this year is to maintain the momentum of home cooked meals and cutting food and grocery costs, focus on spending money on experiences VS gifts, and to pay off the majority of our debt. Less specific than a "no spending money on X" but I find with my ADHD and my wife's autism, that a more general plan works best for us to be able to work towards a shared goal in whatever ways work best for us individually. I'm far more minimalism and essentialist than her though.

    I'm gonna try with only having fast food once a month as well. The last few months I've been saving money because I had surgery and won't be able to work for a month, so I cut out fast food. It's saved so much money. I didn't realize how much we do it.

    No buys for me in 2023: books, jewelry (REALLY need to work on this one), and lastly low-buy on clothes. I want to be more consistent with some of my habits and work on those instead of shopping on tougher days.

      A note about costume jewelry-I told my husband I love buying unusual costume jewelry but the problem is I never wear it. Matching the jewelry to the outfit just seems like too much work as I’m rushing out the door to work. He and I agreed I’ll stop buying jewelry like this and instead we will save our money to buy nice, real pieces from the jewelry store! These pieces match with any outfits too, and I wear them every day.

    for the clothes that don't fit right, if it's too big, loose etc. maybe try getting it tailored? gifting an item that doesn't work for you is great, but if you liked it enough to buy it in the first place, don't you like it enough to alter it to better suit your needs?

    My goal for 2023 is to not buy any more non-sentimental t-shirts. I went through my shirts about two years ago and unhauled almost fifty (yeah FIFTY) that I had collected over the years. Realistically those shirts weren't being worn very often, as I have a few favorites I cling to and I can't even wear t-shirts at work! This past year I've collected quite a few more, and I'm finding that there are many I am just not wearing. So, for 2023 I want to try to not purchase any that are not sentimental (I'm going to three concerts next year of three of my favorite artists that I doubt I'll ever see again, so those are the only times I'm allowing myself to purchase t-shirts next year). I also really do need to go back through my closet and get rid of some that have accumulated.

      Happy Holidays! This is such an awesome idea and one that I've done for some years now. Many items on your List match a few on my own List, which have been on my List every year for 3 years now. You mentioned 1). Candles and I agree, but only for the larger candles. I am a prolific user of aromatherapy oils and buy tealight sized candles for my oil burners. With a box of 100 averaging around $13.00 USD, I don't mind the expense. I've been lucky enough to find 100 count boxes on sale for around $3.00; so I absolutely stocked up on those 😁. 2. Special Occasion Clothing. I couldn't agree more, but this is primarily due to my lifestyle 😕. I'm a good deal older than you and have amassed a War Chest of Special Occasion Clothing. I took a page out of Jane Fonda's Mantra when she announced back in 2020 that she was not buying anymore evening wear to attend the various events someone in her line of business needs to regularly attend. I likewise have hundreds of evening attire that are classic, timeless pieces; so why not just REWEAR something that I already own. 3. Plants. I agree, but I haven't bought living plants in many years due to my international life. Having to find ways to manage their needs was just another level of responsibility that I could shave off my TO-DO List. 4. Shoes (I agree) 5. Clothing That Doesn't Fit (I agree) 6. Excess Freezer Food. I agree, but only those items that I don't use regularly. I do stock up on butter and other items that my family uses regularly and I like knowing that we have extra available. 7. Ceramic Mugs. I agree, but I also include any tableware. We literally have hundreds of mugs, plates, cups, saucers, and utensils from 30 years of acquiring. 8. Fast Food (I agree) 9. Art Supplies. I agree since it fits something specific you know needs curtailing; but for me, it would be Home Decor. 10. Puzzles: Again, this is your "nemesis" 🤣 and I totally understand you. I would insert incense and diffuser oils here as I literally have boxes containing hundreds of various incense and diffuser fragrances that I need to use up OR AT LEAST use down before purchasing any additional items.

So I did good with that one. This year no new clothes or purses. And no more pet stuff. I watch 3 dogs so not my responsibility to buy things for them anyways. And I’m going to see people more.

    No perfume, no bodycare unless we run out. That's my biggest problem area. I have like 30 perfumes, I can't even use that up in 5 years.
    I found a beautifull fake candle that works with a remote, so I put it on every evening for the vibe! And I just spray a Rituals home-spray for the smell. And I must say, I don't miss my real candles.
