Hey Besties! I am trying something different...Minimalism! It is time to get rid of some clutter and keep it out...Roll with me as I take on this new journey! Let's chat in the comments on your thoughts
Hello my friend this just hit my spirit. You don’t have to do this video commentary right now, but in the future, I would like for you to touch base on people like you and I that does not have a car note but still on a car that is aging and when that particular vehicle you say you had a 2017 I have a 2016 by Ada car agesor if you get into a total loss accident how to go by purchasing another car or vehicle without going back into the car debt because you and I both do not like car notes anymore
I'm in the same boat. My car is fine now, but in a couple of years I know I will need one but money is tight. So I have decided to start the 100 envelope challenge. That's $5500.00 a year so in 3 years I would have $16500.00. Not a bad chunk of change. Hope this helps you out.
At the rate things are going, we will all be minimalist, if not by choice, but by necessity!
This is all solid advice. Many people believe more possessions mean more success, but real security comes from financial stability and intentional living.
Thank you engaging!
❤
☀️ hey Bestie! I’m right there with you. We moved at the end of January and it was not a good move. Still working through the move. We have lots of things in storage. Yuck yuck yuck. I hate storages. They are the biggest Money grab ever. Needless to say that has put me on the path to purging. So I’m right there with you and with this move, that wasn’t what I wanted it to be. I am now planning to buy a house so that I never have to move again especially the way we had to move this time so I’m praying for you. You pray for me and my family. It’s time for me to purge. This is my season of purge, promotion and power!!
Praying and agreeing with you 🙌🏽
I kind of just naturally went this direction when I got honest with myself about who I REALLY am. I stopped buying tons of clothes for a life that I don't even live anymore!! I like casual cute comfort period!! 😂 Old Navy is my favorite these days. My home is decorated the way I like and I havent bought any new decor in AGES!! I literally have one set of sheets for our bed. I wash them and put them back on and buy a new set when they start wearing out. I buy a new down comforter maybe once every year or so. It makes life so much more calm!!! 🌞❤
Yes- great points 😊
I would definitely rather watch the money pile up, rather than stuff!
Me too I’m tired of making consumers more richer than we are getting more poor
Same here, I’m working on getting these consumer debts paid off in 2025. Can imagine having over 1/2 of your paychecks to yourself? Adding more to savings, traveling etc… we can do this!👍🏽
🌞 Minimalism is awesome! You're going to love it!
im minimal-ish. chaos living channel helps alot!
🌞 Been on a journey to minimalism myself. I'm almost there!
you might want to try minimial-ish. thats what i do. for the bedrooms i only allow: 1 flannel sheet, 3 bedsheet sets including 1 flannel set, 1 cooling mattress topper, 2 summer quilts, 2 comforters, 1 electric blanket.
🌞
I started the minimalism process 4 years ago (January 2021). It has made a difference, being very mindful in what I purchase and still working on removing things from my house. My husband decided during the holidays that he was ready to embrace minimalism with me and has started to go through his stuff as well. I will be continuing my no spend on planner supplies and stickers. Until I've gone through what I have. Praying for your journey, as it is life-changing.
☀️Decluttering can be very freeing! Looking forward to seeing your journey to less stuff and more space ☀️
I started my minimalist journey about 4 years ago with a capsule wardrobe. I learned packing up my mother’s apartment - we acquire things that mean something to us but to those that become responsible for downsizing may not share your view of your things. The less I have the more time I spend enjoying life; the 1 in 1 out practice keeps clutter at minimum.
The Environment and Mother Nature will thank you for this new move to minimalism!
Awesome topic, I started last year decluttering my house one room at a time. Started selling the extra unwanted clothes, furniture, etc. By doing Yardsale and Facebook marketplace. Its a great feeling.
I’ve been living minimalistic for a few years. I’d love to see a series of you decluttering and selling items 💅
Good for you! After you de-clutter, follow this little rule. One thing in, two things out. Going out can even be an old magazine or something from your kitchen junk drawer. Just be winnowing and sifting all the time, and you will stay ahead of the game.
Thank you soooo much! I am going to need all of the advice that I can get...I did not know this but now I do...Thank you
Investing in quality items saves money. In agreement ❤❤❤
🌞. Yes! I've been doing this for 8 years now. It's wonderful for your mental health also. I do purges every season change to keep down on clutter. You'll feel better but for me ppl think I'm poor. I focused on experiences and the way my young daughter looked me in my eyes and said "thank you mama" during our first beach vacation made minimalism and budgeting ALL worth it.
I agree with you - this is a great idea for me as I prepare for retirement in the future. 🌞🌞🌞This is a journey worth exploring- and all of us will be better because of it!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this! I was just talking to my bestie about decluttering. She said you don’t seem like you have a lot…I’m an organized hoarder. And it’s just stuff…an excess of clothes, notebooks, just stuff! What you said resonated with me about having “stuff”. Going through my clothes and closets and storage bins (cause I have way too much) is going to be challenging but I’m here for it. It will be a slow start. Thought about doing a declutter challenge but I need to get through first quarter to have some of my time freed up. But I’m here on this journey too!
☀️🌞☀️ Thanks BT! I know this minimalist journey will definitely help me!
I was telling another Bestie, I am so nervous...LOL. I am hoping that I can make it
@BudgetTreasures ig thru sharing and keeping ourselves accountable we'll make it!
☀️ so inspiring! I have goals this year! I just started a small business and I want ti earn and save money. My problem is consumerism! I love my bags and clothes but I need to remember that the best things in life arent things!
Detachment is my word
Congratulations on your minimalism journey! I’ve been minimizing my spending for the last couple years and as a result, I don’t buy many material things anymore, unless it’s something I really need. It’s so freeing! Fewer decisions to make, less time spent shopping, and much easier to stick to my budget. Plus, not buying things leaves me room to spend on experiences that are important to me. I hope you love this journey!
Same! I am on a minimalist journey again.
I am always working on my minimalism 🌞 the simplicity, peace, and freedom it provides is priceless.
It’s changed my life.
I’m so grateful for UA-cam and systems that have helped me apply methods unique to my
Life ❤❤❤
We took a leap and purchased a 365 blanket from muslin comfort. It was very expensive but what a difference it has made with sleep and comfort no need for top sheet and the bed looks so cozy.
I’ve been a Minimalist since 2021 and it has been quite a journey and experience. I have learned a lot about myself and it’s actually not easy but it is freeing if that makes sense. I use to be an extreme couponer for several years so I had so much stuff and always ordering things because of depression. I had to really do some hard work through journaling, group therapy, self-help books etc to look at reasons why I felt I needed these things to make me happy. Also I had a hard time letting things go, people, items, events, trauma etc. It all plays a part for some people. So now that I do regular donations ( I sit a box by my front door, dump things in, don’t think twice about it and when full just drop it off), the most I struggle with now is my perfectionist mindset. If I have something that works I always think there is something better that can replace it so I sometimes buy it when there was nothing really wrong with the initial item to begin with. Maybe that’s what I need to work on next. Hope you guys have success on your adventure to freedom from your need of things that weigh you down. Oh, and did I mention my mental health has improved once my home started clearing out of all this stuff. It feels calmer, more serene, easier to find things and easier to clean. That alone is worth minimalism to me.
I’m starting to do this myself. Baby steps at first because I think I’ll gain momentum as I keep going. Good luck to you on your new journey to minimalism 😊☀️
All great points-spot on about using things already purchased. Also, some people have anonymous tag/garage/online sales on items and use that money for their goals. Whatever you choose, it’ll be great for you 🎉
I fell and broke my back and tailbone in early January! Of course, the $2500.00 deductible was no where included in my budget! 🤦🏼♀️ This is not how I thought 2025 was going to start!
Good luck on your minimalist journey! I decluttered our bedroom and I swear I sleep so much better! ☀️
🌞 100% agree with quality over cheap. I used to buy cheap sunglasses. They would break, get scratched or I'd lose them. When I switched to good quality ones, I looked after them and my first pair lasted 12 years (and I would have had them longer if they weren't stolen out of my car)! Absolutely a saving in the long run because of an initial investment.
Yes, quality over quantity 😊
🌞🌞sun shining bright on us this year!
🙏🏽
I always go by....the more material things I have and bills....the more I have to be away from my family for work.
☀️ Good morning ☀️
🌞 enjoyed the video
Being debt free is surely less stressful. Too much stuff is also stressful . ❤❤🎉
This is a wonderful thing. I started doing this last year when I made a promise to God and myself that I was going to be a better steward over His money! I started decluttering, and also, I can relate in regards to buying in bulk so I won't run out and not using all of I have. So I started using up things before I repurchase. I became a subscriber this year because I wanted to do a No spend low spend year and by you mentioning this makes me feel like it's confirmation that I am definitely going in the right direction 🥰🌞
Yasss! Amazing!!! GOD IS SPEAKING and I love it!!! This let's me know that I am aligned and I hear Him...I am a bit nervous going on this journey however I do feel as though it is going to bring so much clarity and peace in my life...Please do not hesitate to give me any advice because I am all ears!
January made us feel all 31 of her days ☀️
Hey Bestie ❤ I literally just had this conversation with my sister about a month ago. I said the exact same thing I’m only buying when I need to. I declutter a few years ago when I moved I got rid off everything and bought what I needed as needed. I have a high yield savings account and I have seen how much I have saved and I want to continue on that path. I give extra clothes to good will and I need to rain in on my just buying clothes because I see a sale. I started reading Greg McKeown The discipline pursuit of less. I wish you well and please keep us posted ❤l love that for us in this day and time. 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing with us. ☀️💛
☀️☀️☀️☀️Keep sharing Bestie!!🌞🌞🌞I’m learning so much from you💕💕
Yardsale all of your decluttering items. I did that last summer sold almost everything for $1 and made over $800!!! ☀️
🌞 excited about the upcoming content. Thank You
You got this, I'm actually you going to be doing the vlog of decluttering, I am also going to start my decluttering journey as well. Best of luck to you.😎🌞
So happy you made this video. I have been de-cluttering. I feel more in control of my space and money. I am almost 50, so, I don't need all of the car items or influenced items. Only essentials and things that will actually make my life healthier, makes since in my life and make my life easier as I get older.
☀️🌞🌄
Good luck on your journey.
🌞well Bestie I am in the process of doing just that in this season of my life. I will be following you on your journey, I have finished decluttering my clothes. Now I can see what I have and actually wear the clothes in my wardrobe. I will be cheering you on ☀️
I started this journey 3+ yrs ago when I started my garden. I still don’t have minimal things but I have what can be managed. So I haven’t achieved being a minimalist but I have stopped living in excess.
If you have kids a good space to start is box up your kids things that you don’t think they use. After 30days let them look through the box and if they want anything in the box make them exchange it for something that currently lives in their space with the understanding that it will be donated. What I found is after 30days they realize they didn’t even know they had it and could care less if it’s gone.
Best of luck! ☀️
☀️…Good points…I’m loving some of the thoughts surrounding using what we have first. I’m learning that I have so much in my closet and storage to shop from already!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I have a lot of things to minimize in my life. Clutter is chaos and I am working on this. I’m looking forward to walking this journey with you Jazmine. Blessings to you all ❤🙏🕊️🌞
I've been considering doing this, so will be following your journey for encouragement
Great video, you’re starting the year off right, when we declutter our home we are actually decluttering our mindsets. Then everything else will lineup. I’ve been wanting to do this for sometime now, now you have given me the motivation to make it happen. Looking forward to seeing your next video.😊
🌞 Thanks for sharing!
I am very proud of you. I was a minimalist last year, but this year I am going to break free from it and just spend a little but not too much. I am going to start journaling so I brought about 10 journals because I love notebooks especially the ones with the spirals. I spent about $90 on diaries, but it's good for my mental health. I love journaling. Next year I might go back to being a minimalist but for now I am going to take a break.
Don’t fucking need 10 journals.
Please take us on the journey.
Thank you for sharing 🌞
And to comment on your video here, I totally agree with the mini ism because as we get older, it makes you more aware of what’s more important in your life, especially when you have been living under the impression and more more means more instead of less means more if that makes sense
🌞 I’ve been working on this and it seems like it’s taking me so long. Having a hard time letting some things go. The thought of wasted money holds me back even though I’m not using it. I’ve worked from home for 3 years but can’t let go of my old business attire, just in case 😩. Pray for me yall.
My goal for 2025 is to reduce, remove, and clear out all the extra "everything" I've accumulated that no longer serves me. I refer to myself currently as "minimal-ish." I've reduced my buying in an effort not to continue adding to my belongings as I've focused on getting out of debt and purposeful spending. I want to feel the freedom and peace that comes from being surrounded by a clean and clear space in my room, my car, and at my desk at work! 🤗🤗 Tracey from San Diego, California
☀This is a confirmation sis. Thank you💜💯
Oh Yes!!! Ofcourse!
🌞
Love your content ❤
Great content. Thank you ❤
I am naturally a minimalist since “stuff” stresses me out. Good luck on your journey. It gets easier with time.
Thank you for the video; watching from my work computer
Yes sis, we will be shining over here as well ☀️❤
Shining!!! Bright!
Great video ☀️
☀️ great video
I have been wanting to declutter as well. I have an issue letting go because while I think to myself even though I'm not using something now what if I need one day.
Yesssss gurl, I need to do the same thing
You are talking to the choir right now, I just lost the member I was working for so I had to look for other income among other things happening in my life but I have my faith in God , that he's going to make a way .
☀️ Sunny Days ahead 🌞
Hey bestie, I'll be joining you in a journey of minimalistic living also.
Go for it!! You said so much, which resonated with me. I can certainly use a closet declutter. ☀️
🌞 I'm in the process of decluttering my house now.
It's definitely something i need to try ☀️🌞☀️🌞
I am soooo nervous...😂
😎 You need to take it slow and work in one room at a time. Take a break in between and deal with your feelings on getting rid of items. Also, put your stuff on Poshmark and make some money. You got this!!!
🌞🌞 I'm hoping to get my finances in order my health my happiness and be wise 😊
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️the sun is going to shine. I have not bought any new cloths in a few years. I have gone through some of my cloths awhile back. I differently need to get some heel replacement on my shoes. I don’t even know if there still are places that do repairing of shoes. So wish me luck when I go on my search. Love your videos so much. Take care and stand firm. 💞💞🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much Bestie! WOW! This is for sure a great testimony...I am encouraged by your words...I am wishing you luck for sure...
🌞 Hi Jazmine. Great bullet points👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾I do the same when stocking up on my favorites. I don’t use them in time, so yep, it’s no longer usable.🙄🙄🙄A complete waist. I’m doing much better with that now. Blessings into a new month- whew😜😜😄😄😄💜💜💜💜
Hey Bestie!! I am glad that you are doing better...You can help me 😂 because I am going to need it...
@ 😆😆😆😆😆
Thank you this is my mindset
Thank you for being here 🩷
You might consider becoming a reseller and selling items on Poshmark, EBay, Mercari, etc.
For me doing no buy as long as possible,will be the best way to not bring more things into my house 😊 .
I will just keep going through my stuff and not bring anything new in.
I had I home but I did a massif heart attack . I sold my house and pay off my credit card . And believe me is less stress that for sure 😊
☀️ yes January felt like 10 years in one month
10 YEARS BESTIE!!!!
@ lol right lmbo
🌞 I'm excited to watch you flourish in this journey Bestie! Have you discovered any minimalist personalities, such as Marie Condo, or the minimalists, to help guide you!
Thank you so much Bestie!! I am on the lookout for these personalities. I found a few UA-camrs...I will for sure be studying...
🌞 I’m going to try this
Yes! Let's do this together!
Today i started purging my closet, getting rid of alot.
I have been considering becoming a minimalist ☀️.
You should really try it!
Yes I noticed that I do a lot of impulsive spending but no longer
Thank you for the video
Thank you for watching!
While on your journey to becoming a minimalist, don't forget to cultivate gratitude. If you are not grateful for what you do have,that mindset sets you up on the unending quest for more.
Enjoy your journey....Peace to you and your family.🎉
Loving your channel more and more I always been a minimalist, are you into organizing, it will change your life, dollare tree have aweaome organizers
Hey Bestie!! Thank you soo much! Yes, I would for sure enjoy organizing...I kinda do that now but I still have work to do...
