RE: 10 things I don't buy anymore as a minimalist traveller | what I stopped buying
Good video. I am beginning to realize that I am a minimalist, I just never knew there was a name for it. There are so many better things and causes to spend money on, rather than the things you listed. People would be surprised if they began gradually cutting back and eliminating these things.
Thanks for watching. I completely agree with you. Most people assume they don't have money to travel or take a holiday once in a while, yet they have no idea how much money they spend needlessly on stuff they don't need. Of course, it's different for everyone, but if we really want to do something (like travel) we can make it happen. Thanks for your comment!
To me, it's all about priorities, and what we've been conditioned to believe our priorities should be.
Exactly. We've been tricked into thinking we need all these things to be happy, and that we always need more. We're conditioned to think that we must stay in jobs we don't like in order to pay for a lifestyle designed by someone else.
We work in jobs we don't like, to earn money to buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like.
