5 Big Decisions New Minimalist (Almost) Always Regret!

Ronald, thank you so much! I get so much value from your perspectives. It just makes sense

Binging your channel. You are great!! Such inspiration. New subscriber, here!

Great advice! You are very wise for your age. I am in my 50s and have found your videos extremely helpful and informative for my minimalist journey. Thank you ❤

So he damaged an OEM part and began replacing everything with non-OEM parts.. so.. what did you do with the old parts.. hmm? Sounds like a good way to make money.

I like the fact you pointed out mistakes you can make starting out as a new minimalist, as opposed to how to BECOME a minimalist. There are so many videos out there about minimalism and how it benefits someone, but to take it a few steps back and actually say how NOT to do it, is fantastic. I never really thought about it the way you presented it. Thank you for your advice and video! I really enjoyed it.

Don’t listen to the haters! Thank you for your work! ❤

Your videos are very helpful

I foresee you are bridging this wisdom for parents and especially the future generation. Congrats.

love your dads quote <3

I appreciate your observations on rigidity; I found parenthood and minimalism difficult to merge but I'm trying to be more flexible. I think you have a balanced approach. Congrats on your baby!

Nice grey interior 💯

Wow amazing video. Good luck with your baby. I can say that with a baby, you’ll want to have everything ready for them. You’ll have to very flexible and patient. Even buying things you don’t see being used right away. It sure will come in handy. So being a minimalist shouldn’t apply to them. Give them everything you can no matter what.

I am often impulsive and its good to hear you talk about the need to slow down

New subscriber.

uf, no. this video is not helpful.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your solid black baby set of all the baby carriage and stuff! So simple and looks so sleek and aesthetical

Your dad is a wise man. Guilt does cause confusion in our path.

Dear Mr. Ron, I am so glad about this video!!! I really am grateful that you brought up the theme on..." Rigid " as often, people see me (trying being in a simple life mindset) as owning nothing, living in an empty space and wishing to receive anything; so sad! And yes, it is different (being simple) from one another. :)) Thank you so much for saying out loud what we most need to hear!

I am guilty of this when I was first starting my journey, I felt like I had to do things a certain way and spent money on replacing things for aesthetic which defeated my other journeys purpose of getting out of debt. Minimalism is different for everyone and don’t let anyone tell you other wise, do what makes you happy. BTW great videos!

❤very eye opening 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I think minimalism is less about how things look and more about how things make you feel. ex.

How you feel in your home
For me minimalism is creating a life of simplicity in terms of peace. As someone with anxiety "clutter" tends to make my anxiety go up so that's my "why" and it's been very helpful. Minimalism for me is also having less physical things, and just using that money I'd use to buy things and use it to have life experiences. $60 shopping trip or 2 $30 concert tickets for amazing memories.

Binge watching today as my anxiety is through the roof and I find your content calming. If you suffer from anxiety, it would be great if you could do a video on it or even a series of videos! Thank you, you're helping a complete stranger who is very grateful.

Ron I really liked your fathers quote of wisdom. Great video. Thanks.
👍👍❤

Great insights, thank you!

You are going to be such a great dad! 😊

Inflation is honestly just one part of the problem in today's economy in all honesty. Supply and demand is starting to experience more delays than usual (I'm noticing this a bit with some online stores and other businesses that I shop from), so when tying that to finances in general, I feel like this could end up being bad thing depending on one's situation and what kind of budget they have. Money that's already been spent on something that won't show up until two, three or five months later, especially if the purchase wasn't necessary, can easily end up being a financial mistake or regret.

So helpful: “Faster doesn’t mean better”. It gives me permission to take time for clarity, and avoid regret.

It’s been fun watching your growth through the years.

Agree with rushed decisions.

Are those your new cabinets? Looks good.

Minimalist aesthetic? Not worried about that, just want less stuff to have to clean, store, and then move next time I move.

Great video Ron!!!

As always Ronald, great video! Ugh!…. I’m the people pleaser…

I haven't purchased clothes in 8 months. My goal is 1-2 years or as long as I can. I want to try a different area in my life next.

Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you.

Thank you. That will help me a lot.
