I must say I was a bit surprised by what was not on Rachel's list: storage units. I will probably get grief, but I don't care. Paying money(!) to store stuff outside your own residence is one of the dumbest expenses anyone can take on, and is your own money screaming "hey, you have too much stuff". Yet storage unit parks are proliferating like weeds in America. An exception would be a temporary transition. A friend put all her stuff in storage because she was moving back in with her father due to his dementia diagnosis. Her stuff was in storage until her father passed away 16 months later.
Soooo true!! When I was first married, we stored a lot at my parents house, and I thought it was fine because I wasn't paying for it. But still. Why did I need to save all that stuff? 🤦🏼♀️
My son and I just went through my sewing room,I finally let go of things that have been there for over 8 years that I have not used. Still have a way to go, but I’m moving in the right direction.
I started becoming a minimalist a few years ago. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I have love purging my home. I bought all clear acrylic bins (spent way too much $$) but they really do make life easier. But I do agree in stockpiling NECESSARY things like toilet paper, toiletries, non-perishable foods, laundry detergent. Don't fall into the I HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL trend. Get rid of it....I have made so much extra $ and I live in my home now and I do not stress.
I hate being in cluttered homes. Cluttered drawers, cluttered pantries, clutter, clutter, clutter drives me insane. Most of it is so unnecessary, takes up so much space, and is difficult to keep clean and organized.
Been decluttering our basement. You just know when you are ready to get rid of stuff. Why in the world do we keep stuff that doesn't have a purpose is beyond me.
Ownership can become a liability! Less is most certainly more. Letting go & Letting God is very liberating. For where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom! 2 Corinthians 3:17 We get this idea that in order to be happy we need to own things in order to enjoy them. I'm learning that life is not about ownership. In fact, everything is the Lords! Even my very life itself is not my own! WOW! Thank you Lord. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body! 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Glory to the Lord. Yeshua, Amen God bless you sister.
This is one of my favorite channel Thanks for breaking it down!! I'm glad I can still smile, I always look up to your video for update. I hit 310k today I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you have given me over the past few months. Started With 70k in few weeks, Thanks to Charles Katrina, for her helpful guide.
Wow, you showed me I have all the signs and made me realise I have inherited all of them from my Mum because that was the environment we lived in. I can now see a way ahead to clearing it up and changing my mindset. Than you Rachel
Most people do not experience "peace of mind". Our minds are cluttered also with things that we do not need in there. Take an inventory of what is in your mind and declutter it. Hold onto the truths, not what other people think or feel. Learn what it feels like to have "peace of mind'.
Very topical for me. I am decluttering now to move to my new house. My father is and grandfather was a hoarder. And i have that tendency for sure.. I am just selling stuff. I'm not going to be a third generation hoarder
I think there is some good advice here, but I also feel like sometimes a space just isn't condusive to what you need it for. For example, I live in a house that was built in the 1950's. There is so little closet space, and all of the shelves are short. This means that shoes and coats (especially in winter) get scattered everywhere because there is nowhere to put them. It also means that the blender, the food processor, cereal boxes, and any other tall items get piled in the few spaces that can accommodate them instead of being put away in an organized fashion on available shelf space. These are all things that we use, and yes, we could absolutely get rid of a bunch of things, but that isn't going to change the fact that there are some things that just don't fit in our available space and wouldn't fit even if we cleared out unnecessary clutter. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself here, but I do find it frustrating that so many of my favorite tihngs and so many things that I use every day are disorganized, banished to the garage, or otherwise unuseable because the space was not set up for them. Sometimes you legitimately do need a different space.
If this woman is married, her husband is very fortunate. Most of the woman in my life refuse to take any of this advice. It is so stressful confronting this.
What if you need all of your necessary stuff, but your apartment or home is too small, and you can't afford a bigger place? This is to a reality no one addresse true.3:26 y
Rachel! Having you been spying on me? Lol 👀 “Just in case” … “I may need that some day” … and I love Mary Poppins💜. I really thought you were going to talk about her bag. My house is a giant Mary Poppins bag, but I’m working on it☺️

@@15KHPCLUB If SHE has unopened or forgotten items, if SHE has to move stuff to get to her treadmill, if SHE doesn't fully know where her money is going each month, if SHE can't keep track of things and then is here telling others to avoid those behaviors, THAT is hypocrisy. Your definition is wrong. Being wealthy and having nice things is not wrong nor hypocritical in and of itself.

Great point!
I'm the minimalist in our family. It's constant effort and it does relieve stress, but it's worth it.
So worth it. I am always finding stuff I want to get rid of 🤣
Yes! You maybe get some critique but its owrth it I do it as well and feel more wealthy doing it :) (using less)
Saaaame!! And my husband is the doomsday prepper 😂
@@micaelablogs I’m both. I am minimalistic but I also want to stock pile 🤦🏽♀️

Ooo craft supplies are the thing I find hardest to let go of. I'm always so hopefully I'll return to a specific hobby!!
This is a tough one for me, too! How small do fabric scraps have to be before I pitch them?! I have other craft items, too...

Me too!! If it's someone else's home/mess I don't mind, but if I'm the one who has to deal with it I can't handle it.
I have a really hard time with clutter. I rarely visit anyone in a cluttered house.

I have way too much stuff. You sure stepped on my toes with this one, sister!

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Charles Katrina, on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out.
So nice to see Charles Katrina, talked about here, her good works are speaking already, and like wide fire she's spreading.
Low income people are suffering to survive, Appreciate her she's a great personality in the state, Imagine receiving $13,670 in few days..
I am a newbie in investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit.

It really is worth it to purge and get rid of things.
I agree! I'm always so happy to move stuff out
And it feels SO good.... like the house just sighs in relief😄
So happy for you Rachel. You will be in the winners circle with peace happy vibes and soulin'. Very happy for you 🤙👐👍
I want to thank you for this tips and actually see where my budget problem really is. Your awesome ❤

Very cute costume! If/when you want to let go many high school or community drama departments love that stuff!
My mom is a clean hoarder. Because of it my parents house gives me anxiety.
Thanks for your advice

My husband and I are the opposite 😂 I'm the minimalist and he's got the "just in case" mindset
That opening line 👏🏼 I'm an aspiring minimalist married to a doomsday prepper, so there's some tension there 😂
They forgot hiding items or bank statements from your spouse me cheap x spouse 90grand nope left
I appreciate that it seems turned down , but please consider stopping the background music all together 😢
Way to go happy for you

Easy answer. Purge as you move.
It’s hard to have a place for everything and everything in its place when you have a free spirited spouse.
I own too much greedy landlord, how do I downsize to affordable rent 5 years ago
Rachel! Having you been spying on me? Lol 👀 “Just in case” … “I may need that some day” … and I love Mary Poppins💜. I really thought you were going to talk about her bag. My house is a giant Mary Poppins bag, but I’m working on it☺️
Just do the 12 month rule , over 12 months have you needed or used something you have if not it’s bye bye outta here.
If you have to store pans on or in the oven you are probably a hoarder.
Or you have a very small kitchen with no cabinet space like me.
Soooo true!
Or ur Mexican
Lol not necessarily.
What if I fulfill all 9 signs? Oh my... 😮
I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
And I got too much stuff

Lol a rich girl is saying you have too much
The nerve 😒
Just because she has money does not mean either that her opinion/expertise isn't valid or that she herself owns too much stuff.
