How can we be satisfied without cost? How can we be wealthy with only the bare minimum? Several philosophers of the past shed their light on questions like these. And, according to some, the cheaper your pleasures, the richer you'll be. This video explores different views on wealth, desire, and pleasure and how being ‘rich’ can be pretty cheap (minimalist philosophy).

A benz, a house and a degree are the old Status Symbols. The ultimate Flex is freedom. Time freedom, location freedom and financial freedom.

Cheap pleasures, reading a book, making a new friend, lucid dreaming, meditation, home cooked meal, diaphramatic breathing, feeling the wind blow, epsom salt bath, lavender essential oil, reflecting in gratitude on the many blessings in your life, resting your feet in a stream.

The best part of the hectic day is coming home to a quiet small room; alone, doing my evening regiment then going to bed, and waking up alone with no hectic morning craziness..just quiet, coffee and youtube.😌🤷‍♀️. Happy is he who is satisfied with a "boring" life

I realized about a year ago that for the most part I have lived a minimalist lifestyle. Social media and other forms of media keeps emphasizing things like a bucket list and things you have to visit before you pass away, but no matter the places you go, the things or people you meet, happiness comes from within. The simple things in life like using my pool in the summer, having mangoes, or even having some ice cream on a hot day is what I enjoy the most.

Being content with what you already have is the first step toward minimalism. It's not always necessary to get rid of all you own or not desiring anything.

"Not all rich people overwork, and not all people who overwork are rich"- hit me hard.

I now live alone and earning a low income monthly. I know some would say I needed to find a part-time job as my current income will never be enough. But I, somehow, made it work. I live below my means and embraced minimalism, intentional, and frugal living. I don't want to overwork myself because I have cheap desires afterall. Eating ice cream, napping, and thrifting makes me genuinely happy. No lie, but I feel like I'm living the life that I've been dreaming about. I also stayed away from social media. I keep a diary and read e-books through my phone. 😊

I grew up very poor. I achieved a lot of happiness as a young adult by having a small house I was working on renovating, a garden, and enough financial security to know where my next meal would always come from, power on, gas to go to the library, a dog, and some art supplies. My family and friends didn't understand why I had bought such a small house (1,000 sq ft), or drove an old car, etc when I "made enough" to have more. As more people questioned why not an expensive trip instead of camping, or why I still wore just plain clothes or drove a used car... I let it get to me. I must be doing something wrong. I felt worse when buying new things, honestly made me feel awful. It cost too much and now I was concerned about keeping it new looking. After an injury I slowed back down and reclaimed that peace of simply enjoying an evening walk with my dog, a book, or time to sketch. So I'm back to mend it, fix it, make do and do without and much happier for it. The things I do buy are because I've tried that and found that they really add value, like getting a good kitchen knife which is safer and easier to use, but I don't need a huge matching set.

One important thing to remember is that our dreams and desires for the future are fluid and, at 40 years old, I’ve learned not to set plans in concrete too many years ahead. In my 20s I dreamed of making six figures, and having a big house on the water. In my 30s I decided early retirement was more important. Due to stress I’ve recently cut back to part time at work and now realize I could work 10-20 hours a week indefinitely and have no desire to ever really retire. Live in the moment, I guess. Good luck to everyone else here looking for answers.

I resonate deeply with this. I grew up without a T.V., and Cell Phone. I went for longs walks in nature, swam at my local creek, and enjoyed company with my friends. We would bike, do our hair, and listen to music. I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything. My deep connection to nature is free, and I have inner peace. I hope more find this video because it has wisdom in it.

My only financial dream is to be able to shop at Costco without feeling nervous about how much is in my cart. That’s peak freedom right there.

Minimalizing is indeed freeing. You don't have to spend time taking care of stuff if you don't own much of it. This frees up time for meaningful pursuits, like developing the skills around your favorite hobbies. He wasn't a philosopher as such, but Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous architect, having designed many buildings and landscapes for rich Americans was quoted as saying: "Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their own possessions."

'That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.' This is a very meaningful line. A simple life causes no worries or discomforts whereas a luxurious life comes with lot of strings attached!

I learned this the hard way.I was always working so I could buy more stuff.Subconsciously I believed that if I had this thing or I had that thing I would be happier.Then one day my wife turned to me and said this-“I don’t feel well”.Less then 6 weeks later,she was gone.I had $35,000 bucks in the bank and had 2 cars paid off and our home had a small mortgage.I spent a few years thinking about all the times I had spent working when I should of been with my wife.All the toys I had accumulated never told me they loved me.

I've been a minimalist since my 20s. I'm 47 now, owning very little is freedom for me. What do you really need? Food,. Water, shelter, quality relationships. That's about it.

My husband and I have lived a frugal life together, with no children, for 19 years. One of my favorite things to do with him is going to the grocery store together. I'm very content with my life. Our main financial worry is saving for retirement.

I used to think there was something wrong with me for being so easily contented… Now I see it is a great wealth.
