      I would love those cabinets! I like white but all white is too much. (I have four different colors of paint in my house but all the trim is white.) I also love the glass mug. I have a tall double-walled glass cup I use for tea at work; I like seeing my drink. (Fun thing to try: make tea in a glass cup, then carefully pour in some milk and don't touch it. It'll settle out into lighter and darker layers (I once got about 4 distinct layers). It's really neat.)

    Deeply appreciate this thoughtful and personal video. We found such freedom several years ago by decluttering and downsizing our lives, but after my second son was born I just did not have the bandwidth to manage the deluge of items coming into our home. It's been weighing on me to re-start my decluttering habit and this was such a gentle but firm kick in the butt. I know you've been struggling yourself with change and I just wanted to share my appreciation for your authentic and down to earth videos. You're truly a gem among content creators and I hope to keep hearing more about your life in Chicago. Thank you!!!

    Hey, Marissa. Marissa here from Bama. I just quit my stressful 6 figure job and became a stay-at-home mom. I did the Dave Ramsey thing and became debt-free. It’s so much nicer being home for my sons when they get off the school bus. I had no idea that my free time is actual wealth, and not being chained to a 40+ hour a week job plus 10 hours of commuting to the city each week. Now, I take whatever little law cases I want, and focus on my athletics instead. I made the adult league hockey team and my first game is tonight. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be good enough to play if i hadn’t become a minimalist, careful with money, and dumped the awful law firm grinding job. The grind is overrated. Thanks for your inspiration! I’m literally in the kitchen about to bake pumpkin seeds from last night’s jack-o-lantern carving with the kids, watching your video while I work on the recipe. Happy Halloween!

    Hey Marissa, thank you for sharing the messages in this video. The message about radical responsibility really struck a chord with me after a lifetime of caring for a mentally ill parent, illness & loss. I really related to your jellyfish analogy and although I'm 50, I only realised relatively recently that no one is coming to save me, we need to give ourselves grace but take responsibility for managing our feelings and changing our lives for the better. We can't change the beginning of the story but we can work on making the rest of the chapters of our life as good as they can be ❤️

    We have been conditioned to over consume bad food and other stuff is the reason there is so much stress, strife and ill will toward each other.

It's a fever we need to break before it kills us

    I think some people hold on to things because they have lost so much and it's a way of not losing something because loss hurts so much. That's how it is with my mom.
    I learned a long time ago that the more I own, the more I struggle with decision making. As a late diagnosed ADHD girl, I already struggle, so I don't need more choices to make things that much harder.
    Plus, the less I have, the less guilty I feel buying something. 😉 It makes purchases even nicer.

    The cost to joy ratio is such a great point. I tend to fritter away little bits of money on things that don’t bring much joy in the long term, and then stress when my husband wants to spend money on a pricier item or experience that would actually improve our lives.

    • @MarcoAshford
      @MarcoAshford Месяц назад

      You and her both are completely wrong about this concept. Your small little things actually gives you the best Cost to Joy ratio, for only $5, you get some joy for a whole day. You only need $250 to feel happy all year around. But if you blow $2500 on pricier item, the bit more joy would only last for a few weeks or months, or sometimes just a few days of rush, that's very bad Cost to Joy ratio.
      One trick you can do is you buy for the rush of that expensive item and your husband return it without you knowing, that way you get 0 cost for the joy.

    This video wasn't;t what I expected and I'm so glad I watched. Very good and humble advice. I've enjoyed your channel for years and I'm enjoying the glimpses or your new home. This video gave me some new things to think on in our own Minimalism journey years sixths. =)

    Do you have any links of where you got your desk and desk chair from? they’re so beautiful. Been working from home and don’t have any office space or comfortable sitting area for it. Appreciate it :)

      It’s only partially furnished, because we’re taking things slow. That’s why I’ve been holding off on the tour…to be continued 😉

    I'm just starting my minimalism journey and find your videos so helpful. I'm looking forward to being less tied down due to the amount of stuff I have, so I have greater freedom to move around and if anything unexpected were to happen I have less to panic about finding storage space for.
    Don't suppose you could share the recipe for the sweetcorn soup you showed at 3:50? It looks absolutely delicious 😍

      @@AtoZenLife I've done it, inspired by your videos, two years ago. I threw out 4x 200l trash bags from my single room apartment.
      It will be much easier now, last time it took me 4 days to assess each thing.
