    🤔 What things did you stop buying and doing to save money? 💰👇

    • @ros8986
      @ros8986 7 дней назад +2

      I try to be realistic about what I am capable to fit into my life NOW. And I am working more towards waiting for my life to tell me I need an object. I have a new hobby which involves new clothes, craft supplies and some other gear, so I am trying to approach it in a minimalist fashion - what is the minimum amount of gear that will take care of what is needed.

    If quitting a habit feels hard and you keep falling doing it again. Just don’t stop. For example I used to smoke a lot. I did try to quit many times, but couldn’t. Then I made a decision that I won’t ever quit it again. I just decide not to smoke this one occasion. So I can smoke if I want, but I just decide not to. So I’m still smoker, but I have decided not to smoke for over 14 years. First 5-10 years were harder, but I still managed to get through them without smoking. For me this goes with everything.

    As a mother of 4 I do most of these, apart from what I need as a parent. I need a car, a dryer when kids are sick and we need to wash and dry sheets and blankets. We have an iron and ironing board for my teenage sons and husband. I still have my hair straightener but won’t replace it. I cut my hair but my kids go to a barber. I try not to buy them junky toys. We do have Netflix and Disney for the kids. All the rest, I do in our home.

    Minimalism is about focusing on what is important to us. Music has been and still is a huge part of my life and I don't plan on letting go of my turntable and lp's. My vote is to replace the turntable. Also congratulations on quitting smoking. Best decision ever!

    I don’t buy any magazines and I don’t wear much make up so when I buy it it’s basic for if I need to wear make up. But I do buy way too many books and need to stop and read the books I have first. Maybe get yourself a portable record player, they’re not too expensive and can be stored away when not using x if it’s something you love and use regularly then u should replace it x

    For the record player. Have you look to see if any store near you offers repair services?
    I find some tasks to be easier to do for me when I have the option of music. Like taking a bath or washing dishes. So If vinal music brings you joy, then get out an replace or repair your player so you can get back to enjoy the small things again :)

    • @BeaMinimalista
      @BeaMinimalista  8 дней назад +1

      Definitely! But unfortunately because there aren't a lot of people specialised on it, especially in Portugal, the cost for fixing is much, much higher than replacing.
      There's of course the environmental impact to be considered here too but maybe a nice cozy cafe might use is for decor or someone for props.

    Hey Bea! I just discovered your channel. It’s very interesting, thank you so much for posting this to the world, your tips are great. I have one tip for you! You can remove make up with coconut oil, and you can condition your hair with some water mixed with apple vinegar. It smells funky if you don’t wash it out properly so rinse wel. Also I also use oil for my hair but I add some essential oil for fresh smell and additional care.
    I live on a small sailboat, no fridge no computer, no shower even. And no storage space!
    I’m curious about the organic fruit and veg scam? Could you enlighten me or do you already have a video on that? Thanks for posting and sending good energy your way. XEva

Many congrats on giving up smoking, as you get older your body will thank you! (and your bank balance is thanking you now....). I am trying to give up impulse buys - I made a list not long ago and it added up to a fair amount. I was cross with myself. I gave up buying perfume some years ago. I am sensitive to smells and didn't like the idea of the chemicals sinking into my skin.

      Currently I'm prioritising maintaining my clothes in a way that it lasts longer instead of focusing on brand tags. I might do a video about this in a near future.
      I have very mixed feelings about fast fashion although it depends, like everything. I guess my out take in just a few words would be to focus on making what you already have last and if you're buying something new, focus on the composition of the fabric and not much on a "brand".
