Choosing to Make Less Money & Live Simply made me happier. Here's why it may work for you too.

What you advocate sounds organic and (in my opinion) suits those without children or children who are old enough to support their own living. Less practical with growing children or seniors that depend on your care. Reality kills unfortunately...

I am to much stressing about money and achievements in life while having kids. This makes me difficult to connect with my kids and hubby. So enough now, I would like to focus on the most important things. I know I can break the cycle. Thank you for your honest and great videos.

Thanks for this and I agree big time 🙂 gave up my fancy career in land down under and back home in Cebu to live a more meaningful life, close to my family and much happier ❤️

Terrific video! Newer videos on simple living, including living on a smaller income, are hard to find lately.

Videos using the phrase Voluntary Simplicity seemed to have peaked 10 to 20 years ago.

Trading is another way of life as it has helped me a lot

I was just planning to do the same, thanks for encouraging!🫡

Very Nice!!

I really like this video. I watched many videos but this one is really nice. You would be a great mom! Keep doing the videos!

Sounds like propaganda for the NWO. You’ll own nothing and be happy.

YOLO is misleading. You live everyday and die once. I enjoyed your video and I'm in the process of doing the same. My awakening to do this was due to my mom passing away last year. I am the eldest of two sons. My younger brother lives in another state. So it was up to me to handle all of her worldly possessions. And that's when I realized all of the waste she spent her money on. I couldn't criticize because the fruit didn't fall far from the tree. So I'm parting ways not only with my things but hers as well.

It is all about the balance between life of earning (work) and life of relaxing (life). Accomplistionments and self development are mile stones in every personal life. You still have your successes but you said my success, referring to your previous job, were not fulfilling. Probably the job or the study choice was not the right one. You can always choose to work voluntary to serve the community and be part of this living through contribution if you do not like the earning of money concept. You can earn a position, reputation, honoring etc. You can leave a legacy that once you die, the world will thank you for and remember you. Nobody chooses for just 'life', and no one chooses for just 'work'. We need both and both must be balanced.

I teared up watching this because it so true. Love this video, makes people think clearly about what’s around them and the importance of things and the value of life.

I like what you said so much. And I like your personality as well

❤️❤️❤️

you're amazing, what you say make sense, wise and beautiful on top of that, you got it all!!!!!!

I totally agree with you

This makes so much logical sense. I think we folks living in consumerism driven societies have it wrong. I love your videos.

Wow your story is so inspiring for me. I working past 5 years on doing what I love from the 9-5. Thank you for sharing that I see it's possible.

The pursuit of money never replaces the pursuit of happiness.

The less crap you have, the less crap you need to replace over time, and most of it sits around collecting dust, more difficult cleaning to do. Your materialism consumes you and keeps you poor.

Hi Jean, This is Uncle Raymond. Do you advocate a childless lifestyle? Your take.

Primary thing people subconsciously crave for is happiness from attention, validation and care. Mostly money gets these things, hence people run for money.
Women get those happiness much more than men. More attention than men, more validation more care. Because, well.. look at her, she is one of the prettiest out there. Hence for women its easier to say they dont need money, we live once and all. For a man, if we say this, a few days later we will be sitting alone in a dark room crying inside and falling in depression.

Simple life - pad your dog...go surfing - Not for everybody - the fashion/cosmetic industries - is in great danger (so many under employment).

just discovered your channel. you speak to my soul! Hug from a 40yr old surfer and scuba diver (still feeling like 25, but worried about life passing by and me not living the life I want/need) from zürich wanting to go and live by the ocean away from the consumerist society. Had a massive mid-life crisis last couple years because my job and life here made me depressed, sitting in the office the whole day doing stupid, meaningless marketing nonsense to fuel pointless consumerist society. it's all because the system since early age groomed us to become slaves of the capitalist society and fit into this system to fuel it. It took me so long to wake up I and I feel so overwhelmed and scared by not knowing how to get out of the rat race and creat the life I want

Great video. You are SO smart!👍🏻👍🏻

People r running race for material things they don’t know one day everything gonna stay here when we die so better enjoy every moment of ur life

Right

I hope you feel better Jean. Best Dave

Its easy to do all this when you have money already.

Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration. I love your attitude, you seem like a person that could handle whatever the world throws at you.

Thank you Jean. My wife and I are debating making a big change in our lives. After 30 years in the rat race we are looking at simplifying our lives, downsizing, and changing our mindset on what's important in life. We are both in our mid 50's burnt out on our jobs, knowing that if we take the leap we will also have to change our mindset of spending and lifestyles. Your video adds thought and assurance to helping us take the leap. Wishing you peace and happiness.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Not a typical woman lets say 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can relate with you. I am from the Philippines. I am on my 4th year in law school but I stopped since the pandemic. I realized that law degree will not make me happy. Currently, I have a decent place. My health is my priority. I am currently working in the corporate world as a legal, but I am thinking of ways to leave this corporate world because the legal profession is simply very stressful and toxic.

I live in a euroean country where you work your ass off and make little money with soaring inflation . Me and husband have to provide for our child. So how can people like me drop it all and travel the world? Im not in this rut for luxury but to make ends meet. I agree with her that all of us can be simpler though. The calm tone of your voice is very peaceful and i wish you the best.

love you

This is inspiring in so many ways.

I am so inspired. thanks a lot!

when am i gonna stop looking for these vids?

Just got back from a trip in San Francisco. At 29, I saw so many older folks in the streets and mall and tourist places and public transportation immensely stressed out and mentally disturbed. The amount of money they are making doesn’t justify that trade off

You have such a beautiful full life.

Lovely👍👍👍👍love this lifestyle . I am going for it❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I started loving your content and the life you choose are compareble the life i'm living now. Thanks ma'am for inspiring us.❤

❤

You have a very calm demeanour and such an authentic presence. Glad to have discovered you, subscribed🎉

I am a lawyer too. I now own lifestyle wellness company. I started downsizing many years ago.Happy

It’s so hard for me because my sense of security is my job. I was in a car accident and they give me full paid leave… but my day to day life is hell tbh. I hate my job, I don’t have fun, I’m exhausted, and eat like shit.

You are beautiful, gentle soul ❤ thank you for your time and sharing your thoughts
