8 EASY Minimalist habits to start saving money 💰 

When you buy something, you are not paying it with money. You are paying with the hours of life you had to spend earning that money."

1. Determine your need 2. Sell what you don't need 3. Make a meal plan 4. Enjoy simplicity 5. Repair and take care 6. Research 7. Shop second hand 8. Remove temptations 🧡🧡🧡

I just ordered a new bag online after watching this I cancelled my order. :) Because I already have a lot of bags nd I did not really need it.

The more mature you become, the simpler the mind becomes

I love meal prepping and being a minimalist. Being a minimalist doesn’t mean you are cheap but you prioritize those that are bringing you the most value!

Your voice is just soooo relaxing

“What we truly deserve is a life free of dept and financial worries” that is so true Malama♥️

One big way I save money is that I bought a Brita filter water bottle. I can fill it from anywhere, instant filtered water. When I thinned out my clothes, I rid myself of 75% of my clothes while helping in the community. Separating out clothes that still looked good from the ones that needed to be put in the rubbish bin or made into rags or rugs. I went to a laundromat, put the clothes through a wash, dry, then folded. I put them on a table inside with a sign that said "free". I saw posts online from people who live in my small town saying that they were so grateful to whoever gave away such nice clothes. Made me feel that I had done some good!

“ Channeling our hard earned money on the things we value “ I love that

When you said " what we deserve is life free of debt " im so touching. Well, i have house, car and other things, but im stress everyday thinking how to pay my monthly bill. Will take baby step to minimalize my life.. thank you for inspiring video

The last couple Of days I’ve literally watched about 10 Of your videos. I’m struggling with anxiety and just listening to you talk makes me feel so calm. I’m also beginning a minimalist journey. Last year I spent an embarrassing amount of money on things I didn’t need. I’m learning so much from you

This is what been doing all my life. Thanks God I sleep like a baby , no worries about money or anything else

From this day I will not spend hours and hours of my life working. I will try to live with less than 1K a month. Less to work and more to live. Just turned 30 last year. Life is wasted at work. Like someone commented, you are not shopping for it, you are working for it with hours from your life. No one is going to return your time... it's gone. I also banned traveling, too much money.

My female colleagues at work spend 70-80% of their salary on makeup,clothes etc every month because their parents or siblings are paying their rent.whereas I am a minimalist and spend very less on clothes,makeup and I have my own house.But for them spending money means to show your richness.

Love that she mentioned that we should seek other alternatives instead of going straight to buying something new that might be overpriced and ineffective. Great advice overall and a good chance to support local small businesses.

I love the piano music in the background of your videos. So so soothing 🙏🏼

Watching this while planning to shift careers and go back home to Philippines. I've been working as an overseas Filipino worker for 6 years now and I'm just tired of chasing money all this time. I would like to live simplier and a more grateful life. Thank God I found your channel it has been very helpful and I found myself binge watching all of it. Thank you very much.

I was going to buy a makeup that my favorite youtuber recommend because its 75% sale. Then as I was checking out my order, I remember that I do have a lot of makeup and I actually don’t need it. Then I saw your vid :) appreciate this videos! ❤️

For me putting things I want in my cart and keeping it there for a few days make me realize how much things I really want at times yet after some time I actually realize they don't really matter and I actually don't want them anymore.

I’m slowly incorporating minimalist living. Something about not having a lot is so peaceful. My first step of action is getting rid of of all ads on my emails

True decluttering, recycling, not buying things not necessary, and appreciate things you already have seems simple and helps us save money. Before i used to always go shopping after every pay check but since my mom died i was responsible for all the things in the house and there i learned to save, to budget and planned all. Organize the monthly bills and pick things with quality and practicality not just the cute looking stuff. And yes i also learned to talk to older people in the market and repair shops and you'll learn what our house really need and didn't need. I salute the mums out there their work is not easy, it's challenging and really hard at first.

I have a problem with impulse buying. I can totally relate with what you said about the things we buy to fill our space are the first things we get rid of. I’m inspired to clean out and sell some things. I feel that while it’s decluttering my space, symbolically it’ll declutter my life as well.

This was so calming, infromative and honest. Like I felt like I was at a spa as you were talking. 😌😂

Im a minimalist too. I dont spend my money on what I want, rather on what I need only. I can focus more on my priorities.

something that honestly helps me is i have a journal and i keep track of everything i buy. Epecially when you work a low income job and you need to save for college, it really helps with keeping yourself in control

Meal prepping isn't just productive, it can be fun too! Some really great tips here!

I used to buy new clothes. Now I thrift my clothes and it makes me feel better, I always seek to thrift to not overconsume and it has helped me along the way ❤

Nowadays whenever i watch minimal life,i remember about my grand parents minimal life.they always said things consume energy so we should surrounded with less objects so we take more positive energy and things contain less energy

Saving money is very vital. Minimalism is very much required in present time. Ur way of suggesting things are very innovative. God has given u good vocal and an expressive eye. It's not vital to be a paragona beauty, one should have intellect and be specific what he or she wants from life. Eating home cooked food, only picking up stuff which is required. Extravagancy, show off will lead us to zero. Over all nice video.

Made a substantial amount of money for the first time in my life recently and now I understand what my dad used to tell me about "simple living and an easier existence" 🙃😅 I will be coming back to this video again and again it seems 😆

Living a simple and minimalistic lifestyle, means living a stress free life, will create more personal time for meaningful things you really enjoy doing and you will learn to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life overall❤

This is so calming and soothing, I'm learning to be more minimalistic. My focus this year is to declutter and focus on buying quality items and not just buy something because it was on sale

You are on the right track. What does each of us really need to live. It is simple when you think about. I would rather spend time on great food and great experiences.

Thank you for this video, I am a hoarder and am starting to see that I don't need all the stuff in the house. Going to start decluttering tomorrow

Minimalist here 🖐 When I have something important to buy I always check if there is a good second hand/used deals to lessen new paper prints, plastic coverings from new packagings.

Here in the third world people don't know about minimalism because we can't afford a lot of things haha. I use the minimalism philosophy to get rid of very old useless things we gather because of the fear of not knowing if we could buy that thing again

Nice video. Thank you. Yes, "repair and take care"! Minimalism + taking care of what we have and repairing = having a great, meaningful life that is good for the planet, our wallet/pocketbook and our lifestyles.

Indeed simple adjustments in lifestyle go a long way!❤ Thanks for this information! Loved watching it.

These are old skool habits being revised... Very nice home, looks like it has a homely feel to it..

I love that your doggy was mimicking you on the bed. Plus what I notice is when we fix our own stuff and we make our own things it takes up that time that we were saying we were lonely and bored and gives us something to do and not only that we’re proud of it because I’m like I did this. Also I don’t know where you live but I can tell you I wanted a beach cruiser and got one and then I ended up selling it because it’s a lot of work I ended up getting a road bike and a mountain bike way better so don’t worry about that. On second hand if you have yard sales in your area there also so much fun one it’s cheaper to your helping someone else and don’t have to pay shipping and it’s also really nice because you get to talk to friendly people and you might even large something about the area or when you tell them that you’re free gold and they’ll tell you they’re frugal and then they’ll have ideas and then it’s so much fun because you get the exchange ideas

The concept of 'Simple Living High Thinking ' is something that everyone should adopt! My Mom used to always talk about this during our school and college years! Thank you, Sophie, for being a trailblazer! Aloha!

Thanks so much for the link to stop junk mail I hate getting it cause I immediately toss in trash. I live in an apt and don’t have recycling

Your video makes me inspired 🧘‍♀️😌🤍 thank you!!

I just realized watching your videos, I got 5 pairs of indoor clothes and I always get to wash them after 4 / 5 days. I just don't need extra clothes at all! Amazing! I just get a little worry for the everyday clothing I get to wear for my job but I believe I'm into less things... :) Less is hassle free and good to the eyes :)

You really have to record ioga sessions for spleeping/relaxing. Such a warmth voice that delivers peace!

Hi feels so good to see ur video just puts me at ease. Getting rid of things not only creates space in the house but most importantly in the mind. I enjoy simplicity in life too. So thank you for sharing !

this lady answers to every question and reply to every comment now that's golden ...

Thank you so much for your inspiration and motivation. I love watching your peaceful videos and everything you are saying makes so much sense. I am working towards a simpler and more meaningful life and your tips really help!

I really like the idea of buying used items and of fixing/repairing items yourself. I like how you actually said "so we can slow down the production of items". This is the opposite of the way our capitalist society wants us to think - but we are such a wasteful society! As you said, people throw away perfectly good items. People do not try to fix things. In the past, the older generation took care of their things and kept them a long time. They did not have credit cards so they could not get into consumer debt like people do today. And they fixed the items they had. So why sit in front of the TV watching some silly show when you could use your time and energy to fix some things you own? A major way I did this was to learn to fix my own cars. I have never owned a new car. It's a waste of money because of depreciation, but also the interest you pay on a car loan. Repairing them myself saves money by not going to the mechanic. They also last a lot longer because they are properly taken care of. This would not work for a lot of people for many reasons, but it worked well for me. I would rather have money in the bank in case I lost my job rather than having spent it on a lot of new items.

Love your channel, and your mindfulness. May intentional living be with us.

One of the best RU-vid videos I’ve watched & Channel I subscribed❤️❤️❤️

Girl ur videos have a meditative relaxing effect ❤❤❤❤ i love you

I love your attitude on living a minimal life although I'm still obsessed in things. I'm slightly changing

Love your voice and the music! So calming and relaxing

The tips you give and the simplicity of life you guy’s are leaving is something I’m looking for to doing some day, I’m tired of always trying to have more to keep up with the family or friends and having no time to actually enjoy things and enjoy life a little more. Thank you for your advice and tips 💚 stay safe and thank you 🙏🏼 for your wonderful video’s

Thank you so much for this, your voice is so gentle I could listen to you for hours. Great tips❤️

This video is such a hit, Sophie! Congratulations on growing your community and inspiring more and more people. 🙏🏻💕

Absolutely love this, thank you so much! These days I am so overwhelmed and anxious about so many things, I feel like adapting a simpler lifestyle will definitely help me with these negative feelings! Lots of love from Germany 💕

I just listened to your podcast about Everything I own as a minimalist a minute ago then accidently found your YT channel here. I'm so glaaaad! 🤗😊 Love it! ❤

Thank you so much for your tips! I found out about minimalism a few years ago (over RU-vid) & I find it so satisfying to just have what's necessary for you. Then I told my best friend about minimalism & she was like "you'll never be a minimalist".. I must say I'm not close to being a minimalist but waaay closer than I was a few years ago & I've gotten rid of sooooo much stuff the past years. I take baby steps but I believe some day I'll get to my goals. No matter what other people say, listen to your heart and your gut feeling. We can do this! (& your videos are very helpful to get and stay motivated ☺)

So calming voice, good tips, I will follow all of them!

Minimalism has helped me with my finances as well. I am working on paying off 100k of student loans (and sharing my journey on my channel) and minimalism has helped me so much with being intentional with my spending and finances. Great advice and tips, I follow all of these during my journey as well.

Appreciate your advice and the the whole way you use to raise ur messages ,

I am feeling so relaxed watching you and your voice is so calming

I like to watch your videos in the morning as I get ready for work. So relaxing and motivating, thanks 😊

Im inspired a lot by this video of yours uve taught us a life s lesson for those who thought second hand things are not good..

❤thank you for sharing. nowadays we consume and overload ourselves with things, information and goals. it's great to find someone who values simplicity. thank you for the video. great habits to adopt, especially for the new year. ❤

I just found your channel and after the first video I subscribed. I love the calm and growing vibes I get. I'm a minimalist myself and I'm getting better every week. I'm glad I came upon this.

I'm so thankful that I found your channel, Now I'm more getting inspired to leave simpler than what I used to have😍

So happy i watched your video! Taking baby steps to minimalism. ❤️

I loved this video, I already do most of these things but it is nice to hear it from other people from time to time as a reminder to stay on track - what I see around me is rather the opposite of minimalism... but I really enjoy this lifestyle of intentionality when it comes to spending my money and time

You and my husband have turned me a maximalist into a minimalist! Still learning on how to keep myself on track! These videos definitely help!

i love your thoughts and i learn so much from your experience through youtube channel .its very helpful to improve my life nowadays. thank you so much

Your voice is so calming and it somehow relaxes me. I relate to this because I'm a huge spender and this has been an eye opener. Thank you so much for this. I subscribed. ❤️

I am on a minimalist journey and have just found your channel. You speak so eloquently and you have offered some great tips and advice. Thank you for making this video 🦋🕊💕

I love it ❤ You did a great job with this video 😊 It`s so easy getting cought up in perfectionising the aestetics of our home, eating in restaurants etc. But these things are only short time excitements and do not lead to long term Happyness. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤

Another superb video. Thanks Sophie ❤😊🙏

Fantastic advice Sophie. I have been buying most things pre owned and it has saved me thousands. Way better prices than any Black Friday deal could ever hope to reach. Your channel is very high quality, keep up the great work you’re doing.

I love the way you present the minimalist concepts and ideas. Thank you so much. I am going to be making a conscious effort to be mindful of the purchases that I make in 2021.

You are so dear. Thank you for the lovely, heartfelt videos. Your wise, humble approach is refreshing. I appreciate the inspiration as I embark on yet another journey towards minimalism. With Gratitude, Nicole

Thanks for sharing your peace !
