I wanted to share a quick story with you. Thanks to you and The Minimal Mom, I’ve embraced minimalism, and it’s been so freeing! Last weekend, I told my husband we needed to tidy up the garage, and guess what? We cleaned the entire thing in just 45 minutes! That’s the beauty of minimalism-on Saturday, I spent less than an hour on this chore and had plenty of time to take my kids to the theater to see Wicked. Minimalism has truly been a blessing for me and my family!
Wise 80 year old neighbour you had. I am 57 and live a minimal lifestyle. My mother 81, Aunts in their 80's, cousins 50 to 70's don't get it, they treat me like I'm an alien 😂 When I explain it's a freeing experience and a smoother lifestyle and brings me peace and frees my time they just don't get it. I wouldn't live any other way now ❤
My family members didn't get it either. I lent one of them the book on Swedish death cleaning and thenthey understood my inspiration. 20 years ago, I started having heart issues and I didn't want my family to be stuck with my clutter. The time that I do have here, I want to enjoy it and not be stuck dusting and cleaning a bunch of junk. I bought Josh's book early on in my journey and I keep reading and watching videos to keep me honest.
Your good and wise neighbour is the true founder of this channel. And if we ask her, I'm sure that she learnt it from someone else. So we need to keep speaking to others and continuing the snowball effect. Thanks Joshua for your contribution and for using RUclips in the way it should be used - not as away to make money but as a means to CHANGE THE WORLD.
I wish I would have practiced minimalism when my children were young. Life is so much easier without things cluttering up our living. Love your channel ❤
My Hubby & I have been on the road to minimalism for the past couple of yrs. We drove around tonight to look at Christmas lights & could see in peoples garages & houses & I felt stressed out looking at other peoples big houses & full garages. I'm thankful we are getting rid of unnecessary items & living a much simpler life. Keep up the great videos, Joshua. 😊
I got laid off at june, ever since then. I implemented a detailed budgeting strategy, tracking every expense and setting clear spending limits across all categories. In just six months, I saved over $60,000, giving me a strong sense of financial security and the ability to invest in my future. This approach has transformed the way I manage money, and I now feel more confident than ever about achieving my long-term goals.
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
By the way Mr. Becker, Happy 50th Birthday! I received the weekly e-mail about the 50 things , what a great read! Consider doing a video on that! It was so inspiring! But I love all of your weekly videos anyways! I have learned so much and implement in my life so much of what you bring to us every week! Minimalism is such a life changing , I wouldn't want my life any other way! Thank you for all the great words of wisdom, educating us , inspiring! Here's to many more years of a great life for you & passing it on to us!
Only God will change this world. Daniel 2:44. We have to be careful how we use our time, etc. Thanks for all the reminders of what really is important.
What a sick society we live in that from childhood we are taught that our prime purpose in life is to buy stuff, even ahead of spending quality time with friends and family. No wonder our collective mental health is so terrible.
Thanks to you and the minimal mom I have so much less stuff and it’s great! Still dealing with sentimental items but will get there. Wondering what you do about gifts for others at Christmas? I hate all the consumerism but people would be hurt if I didn’t buy for them.
Your presentation itself is minimalist 😁 not a word wasted. Clear and concise. BTW this week I read one of your blog posts that talked about the 3 item "to do" list. I implemented this strategy and my productivity more than tripled! Thanks.....
Hi, I appreciate your videos. But instead of saying take your stuff to Goodwill, can you please say take your stuff to charity or thrift stores? Goodwill charges way too much for their stuff and I’ve stopped going there.
Bless your heart. Sounds like you may not know true Christians. It is not waning at all with people who know their frailty and desire a Savior. It’s not a fad that it could wain. It is a relationship with a real person outside of time and space who created and controls the world. Blessings to you, young man.
Please do your research before recommending a charity. You have that responsibility. After all you're making money from this and are trying to change the world. Goodwill is a for profit. Salvation army helps veterans. there are real charities.

I thank God for that which I do not own. The simple life may not be the popular path by worldly standards, but many wish they had it 😊
Thanking God for what we do not have ❤. Thank you for the reminder ❤
4th. I’m taking a break from decluttering. We just got out of debt now moving towards our minimalist journey. God bless! Thank you for your content!
since this year, i have also been on my minimalist journey. I am comfortable with it 😀
Right behind you 💕

A different generation. Our father is 87 and is baffled at the 'stuff' feel they need.

You are a blessing Mr. Becker!!

So done with 9-5, its Depressing! How did you manage to save up so much so quickly?

@@Nancy-1w Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie
@@MoniqueJ-g2s 9-5 is a complete waste of time!

I thought life giving truth no 1 was fantastic, but then after listening to all 5 of them, they are all fantastic! Great Job Joshua!
Working on it 😊
Thank you
We all have a unique and different Rhythm of life ~ so I don't compare myself to anyone else, I keep my eyes firmly on the Lord and am at peace. 🙏
These videos are a highlight of my Friday, helping me unwind and inspiring me for the weekend. Thank you!
Thank you for great inspiration ❤🙏🏽
You are such a big help: I agree with your truths! Life will lichter...🎉😊 thank you. God bless
Renewing your mind to the word of God will help change the world. Mathew 6:19 🙂🙏🏻

YOH, Joshua, this has vestiges of "Christianity" which seems to be waning these days ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
Bless your heart. Sounds like you may not know true Christians. It is not waning at all with people who know their frailty and desire a Savior. It’s not a fad that it could wain. It is a relationship with a real person outside of time and space who created and controls the world.
