Living a Minimalist Nomad Life to Save Money ~ My Financial Struggle
Jump to Connections
143,422 Views • Apr 30, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
I was BROKE! Because of my financial struggles, I became a minimalist in 2008. Living a minimalist lifestyle has taught me that living with less helps me save money. Being over 40 and just turning 50, I was getting close to retirement age and needed to increase the money saved. My husband and I decided to sell everything we owned and embark on living a nomadic lifestyle. A minimalist nomadic lifestyle is not easy. However, I save money for retirement and have found that living with less is a key to my happiness. Nomad life over 40, and extreme minimalism is the choice I’ve made to save money.

Money may not be everything. But life is pretty hard without it.

Please note that money is not evil. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil

I have naturally been frugal my entire life. Wasting money on "Stuff" has always felt ridiculous to me. Peace of mind is not having debt.

My husband and I decided to change our life by selling our house in Canada and becoming nomadic almost three years ago. We now own a small place in Mexico where we can live simply and a camper van in Canada to explore North America in summer. We also housesit and enjoy the adventures that brings as well. I have learned to need very little and am very, very happy with less.

We sold our home and bought a 5th wheel RV . We traveled across our country and saw wondrous places that would not have been possible had we stayed in our house. Sometimes we work camped to ‘get ahead’. Our health and age (82 and 75) has stopped our traveling. We live near our children and still live in our RV. I’ve no desire for a house, but we are home

Living within your means gives a certain peace. Less is more.

I am now selling off all the "stuff" I have accumulated all my life, and it is helping me pay for the basics now, such as food and drink, and a roof over my head for me and my rescue greyhound Madge. I am so grateful for what I have. xxx

I did this, enjoying the freedom and lack of responsibility, then I got diagnosed with cancer and that need for stability and security were overwhelming. To get a place and unravel my nomadic world took time and energy I didn't have. I have secured a tiny apartment and realise that truly life happens whilst we make other plans. A contingency is a must for such things always.

Money is not the root of all evil, it is the love of money, making it a god.

You share a lot of wisdom! Society has messed up a lot of people bombarding us with things we “need”. All that said, I’m not sure how inexpensive it is to travel the world given the cost of flights etc. One must be working remote full time and constantly adapt to time zone changes and still be productive. We can all find ways to let go of “stuff” but my husband and I need to be working full time for the nest egg we’ve worked hard to add to over decades. Love love traveling but full time travel is not possible till retirement and then there’s the dreaded healthcare costs of one needs it…. Best wishes

I think it would interesting to find out how you earn money now for basic living expenses. (Not how much you make...that's not our business...but are you self-employed, or take day jobs, etc.)

As I watch this, I am picking up the last things from my apartment in Colorado. I am keeping the necessary items only and moving with a friend temporarily. I am not longer attracted to material stuff.

I can empathize with the heavy feeling in the household, my parents were both unemployed at the same time. It was the late 1960's. Life was hard, but my parents just kept going. We had to eat stuff we didn't like, only had a few outfits, etc. etc. Eventually, my parents found work, and we moved to a less than desirable apartment that Mom and Dad kept spotless. I can only look back in admiration at their resilience. RIP Daddy.

Bless your heart. It is amazing what you can do when you have to. My husband had a heart attack after that 2008 downfall. He was a builder and it all collapsed around us. I applaud what you are doing. Cut the strings and BE FREE.

My husband and I moved our family from an expensive area cross country to a defunct Birch farm on northern Lake Michigan. It is like our fresh start. He has a new job here and has has recenty started a microgreens farm side hustle that is doing so well, he is building a green house now to supply year round local produce, very much in demand with grocers, restaurants, and caterers. The kids have an acreage to tear up, and a pond to hunt frogs in. There is a glamping cabin that came on the back end with the property as well as a farm house. It's not fancy but the kids have loved helping to care for our chickens... We might start a UPick orchard soon for seasonal tourists. So far so good. We're still trying to fit all the old junk into the new farmhouse... Or have a giant yard sale for it - So a work in progress, but moving forward fearlessly - because with the sale of our old expensive home, we could pay cash for this one. No mortgage! This we hope will become a generational property we can develop for extensions of our family... I love vlogs like yours that show the simple beauty of living closer to nature than concrete! Living it with you as we dream!

I do that with my partner since 2015. Now we are at the point to get a tiny home for ourselves in the aerea we found out to be the best for us. Enjoy the journey! 💕👍

Living a frugal life is critical to have a financially stable life. Living below your means, save and invest the remaining, rinse and repeat. Never stop.
