Living in a poor country gives you the skill of being a minimalist. I don't buy extra stuff (I can't afford it). I repair the stuff that gets broken, I don't buy new stuff until they are absolutely worn out or totally destroyed. I don't use the credit card unless it is an emergency. I don't have a mortgage. I own a small house that took me ten years to build. I'm debt free. I don't wish to have more stuff than I already own (I have the absolute essential things and nothing more). I guess I'm a forced minimalist. But that's okey. I'm happy.
God bless you!
Thank you🙃🙏🏾👍🏿😂❤️😍😁😁
Americans are materially wealthy but spiritually poor.
The American economy is built upon mindless consumption. During the Covid lockdown politicians said on TV that it's okay to sacrifice your grandma and grandpa in order to keep the economy running. If they died from Covid it's ok. The way out of this madness is through shows like this. Many Americans live unfulfilled lives because they've been lied to about what's really important. Material goods will not bring you inner peace and love.
Bravo @Andrea Avila! 👏🏽
I totally agree! I grew up in poverty and as much as it is difficult, it made me resourceful as hell! Reducing and reusing, DIY, and ultimately letting go of the need for more and more. It's important to evaluate what is truly essential vs what just complicates and clutters life.
Don’t let your possessions possess you!
I owned a boat and a bicycle. I loved the bike and I liked the boat. The boat took all my time, cleaning, maintaining, repairing, some relaxing. I never had time for my bike. Then a hurricane destroyed my boat and the insurance company robbed me. What a relief now I have time to ride my bike to the ocean. Joy!
I'm glad to hear everything worked out so well for you. (lol) Insurance companies are the first thing a person may as well eliminate from their lives. They're one of the biggest scams that exist.
Minimalism is freedom. It’s not just clothes, it’s everything we consume. Delete all unread emails, unsubscribe from all junk email lists, block any numbers of spam calls and people you wish not to hear from, unsubscribe from news, unsubscribe from water cooler gossip at work, unsubscribe from draining friends and even family members, sell any possessions that don’t bring you joy. I reduced my closet by 75% it’s a gratifying feeling walking into a clutter free closet of clothing that only brings you joy.
Now those were wise words, thankyou. Emails followed by clearing/ cleaning out cupboards in my cottage today, you have helped motivate me 🙂
Thank you for the detailed list! Sometimes it takes someone to motivate us in baby steps since many of our lives and minds are so cluttered that we have no idea where to start!
i agree with everything except the friends and family part we shoud always be willing to help one another . even if they are a bad friend or family member unless they are physicaly hurting you or if you cant mentaly deal with it than yes help yourself before you can help others but should always strive to be willing to help one another
Buy local, grow a huge garden, never shop at Walmart or Amazon, buy your clothes at yard sales.
''unsubscribe from all junk email lists'' doesn't work, bots sen them
Unpacking mental clutter may be the most profound and sobering part of minimalism.
Am glad the three of you are here.
Nice tip Tracy. 🙏
Ok
"Financial peace isn't the acquisition of stuff. It's learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can't win until you do this."
When it comes to investing, nothing will pay off more than taking the first bold step and you are close to becoming a boss within your finger tips
The best source of income, is multiple sources of income. Sometimes we need to get our minds off negativity and just motivate ourselves, stop giving excuses because you will end up not achieving your dreams, take a chance and try something new.
I always wanted to invest in the stock market but I never had any idea about stocks to buy or what assets may have the highest growth potential and so on.. Do you have more clues that could help.
@@rosalinecarie2447 I am quite new to stock investment and options trading myself. However I have been able to achieve great progress by applying signals from *Amanda Katherine Leff.* Her stock picks never fail and she is always accurate with her predictions.
@@thompsonadamas5060 Amanda Leff is highly recommended for newbies and even experienced traders who want to make better gains. My profit ratio grew exponentially the moment I invested with her. Meanwhile she is not the first or second broker I ever worked with.
Another great podcast with some really good content. The only point for me was that when one of the guys discussed how "sad" it was that because he was getting rid of some of his belongings and getting things in order, his boss had asked if he was ok and if he was planning on taking his own life. In my opinion, this is far from sad...it is very observant and a real positive that a boss had the presence of mind to notice these changes and ask that question, which for many people goes unnoticed and is still found to be a difficult conversation. I am clearly an advocate for reducing the stigma and raising awareness around mental health and for me, this should be highlighted as good practice....well done that boss!
The main takeaway is "I worked so hard to buy things that should make me happy, and they aren't doing their job."
The more you buy, the more you need to work; the more you work, the more you want to buy.
Buy what you need, buy within your means, and always ask why.
Amen!!
If we talk with stricter meanings for words then it's actually better if you buy things. Most of the things today are "bought" with loans and leases and mortgages and that's what gets you. Things you actually buy outright don't own you as much as loans and leases do.
Your comment still stands right in this day and age, just wanted to add some thoughts to it :)
@@candle331 Thats true :) thankyou for your thoughts.
Tolerance, Acceptance, Respect and Appreciation (TARA) Thanks for sharing this
I tell u my Priority in life was to be a Teacher, I worked for Unified School Districts in California for many years making peanuts, but I was truly fulfilled when I finished my Music Studies, graduated and finally happy. Public Schools didn't focused on Piano, and I wanted to teach children. Finally I started teaching on my own later worked and still working for a Private MUSIC INSTITUTE.
Move to a new country if you want to confront yourself . We retired to a small Caribbean Island in 2019 - went from 5000 sf house to 8 duffel bags. And then the pandemic hit .....so glad to be here......
When I started playing chess - it was just a game. But I began to see other areas of my life that I could apply the skills of chess - the anticipation of reaction to my action.
Minimalism was initially a tool of decluttering possessions - but - like chess - it led to a profound impact on how I viewed the world.
It forced me to look at how I valued 'physical things' initially - but that gave way to thinking about how I came to determine value. It has touched virtually every part of my life now.
"Look at that which you have and think: how much would I want these things if I did not have them? That is the secret to happiness." Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor/philosopher.
I went to netflix & looked your documentary. Loved it. I have started to do it. I have read about before but it became to much but your boxing things up help me. My husband went out & bought a 60 inch. Tv. He is an african immigrant thinks he needs a lot of stuff, he is looking for the american dream, I am a retired nurse & I am getting rid of stuff. I told him after Trump we do not need all this stuff.
I’ve been very very into the concept of minimalism for many years but not ready to take the plunge this could be the video that pushes me over the edge thank you
Me too let's go!!!
Got rid of TV after the 2016 election. Best decision.
Rich, you've been a huge inspiration and mentor figure for me. So happy I found when I was just 23. I'm 25 now, sober, a minimalist, eating a wfpb diet, exercising consistantly and now even started my own CZcams channel to share my journey of self-improvement. Thanks so much for all the value you have given to people like me and continuing to be a positive influence Rich! Take care!
EDIT: LOL Rich when you were like "Don't you dare talk bad about the 12 step thing" 😂
Congratulations, wow, you really have done a lot, admiration for you and LOVE your comment! Will definitively check your channel!
@@BereniceWeber Thank you so much Berenice! Really appreciate your admiration! And thank you for checking out my channel! I am really looking to grow it and help others to improve their lives as well :)
@@EntirelyHonest You are such a young great person! And I love that you became a vegan too. I became vegan at age 43 and wish I had done it sooner. Thank you for being so kind and inspiring!
@@BereniceWeber Awe thank you so much Berenice :) And yea, I am glad I went vegan when I did, I have never felt better than how I feel today :)
Good for you!!! That’s amazing! Keep on the path!! God bless!! 🙏🎉💖🕊
The book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels is gaining some popularity. It takes a mindfulness approach. Shopping and consuming are so psychological. If you can beat the psychological game, you save so much $$$. A healthy perspective and mind leads to better shopping.
Never been a podcast guy. Have tried all of them, h3, impaaulsive, ted all those and never enjoyed a single episode. This channel is extremely high quality and now I'm addicted
Well H3 and Impaulsive have very different kind of content. Rich has a lot of good ones. I've learned a lot from his Podcast.
@@icyearth i wouldn't wanna try h3 or impaulsive.
Why were you torturing yourself lmao welcome
Agreed. Excellent.
It really is one of the best out there
I always packed up my stuff, labeled the container with a number, and used index cards to write down the stuff in the container. I paid to have my apartment of almost 24 years emptied,
Since age 15, I have done written, audio and video journaling, and I am now in my 81st year.
I wear Hawaiian shirts, dark pants od black dresses no underwear since retirement. lol
It is70% less expensive living in Queretaro, safer and cooler.
I actually discovered Rich Ross on the minimalists podcast when he did a live guest spot. Although I stopped listening to them many, many years ago because it just got really repetitive, I am forever grateful to them for hosting Rich.
Such a great antidote to our consumer based society. I have been smart enough to avoid credit card debt and that sort of thing, but feel burdened with massive student loan debt based on decisions I unconsciously made as a young adult with the encouragement of many elders in my life. I am now finding that the degrees I got did not lead to any justifiable career and am starting to find new ways to earn a living. I wonder how many others are facing similar situations.....
This is a fantastic episode. People who own a bunch of stuff become caretakers of their possessions. That stuff begins to own you eventually.
Now that we can all work from anywhere (we always could, now it’s acceptable by all) we have time to focus more on living our best lives. We are teaching people to build residual income while focusing on living your best life! It’s really magical when you can focus on the right things, having less things AND increasing income.

I thought I was the only one
P00
They guys are genuine beautiful souls, thanks for sharing such an inspiring journey Rich.
Love these guys! I have been following their journey for years now! I never get tired of listening their stories. Happy to see that they keep sharing and inspiring the world! Keep the wonderful work!
A continuous process of seeking peace and balance.
Awesome interview!!!!! Loved it!!!!! Probably the best one I have seen with Josh and Ryan 🙌
Joshua and Ryan are so similar to Rhett and Link - lifetime partners. What a great thing to see! I hope they all stay together and don't end up like Simon and Garfunkel - split up and then all the rest of us also miss out on the genius of the duo.
Rich... Incredibly nice! Thank you!
3 of my fav people on yt-----
Thanks so much, guys! :)
Same!
Very thought provoking. I unconsciously started doing some of these things out of pure cost cutting and time saving. A recent huge de-clutter and a un-technology detox proved so liberating. Didn't realise it was the start of a change journey.
Thank you, Rich Joshua Ryan.

Thanks Rich - this is great.
So much respect, love this idea and on top of that; eating sustainebly. Nice job!
Rich thanks for the podcast bro I really listen and enjoy all your content very educational
Admire these guys
I’m on this trajectory now less is more ( better ) lighter on the spirit I find .
A truly delightful interview.
This is my most recent comment on a major CZcams video like rich roll but I can muster number 14 on the future of thousands love this guy met them in Metro Detroit years ago what a hero
Thank you Rich
Practicing minimalism change my mindset and the way of living completely, I am happier and I can't say more!
I’m a minimalist been one my hole life I live in a small room only my bed and 2 suit cases I truly believe that things will start to own you I choose this lifestyle
Dave Ramsey + Minimalists + Rich Roll are my favorite!!!
Less is more,we consume so so much and it hasn't made life better ,instead we trashed our lives and the world . We must have an attitude of gratitude. Share more ,care more,acknowle more
Can’t wait to listen to this. My garage is so cluttered and full of junk at the moment-just peeking out there gives me anxiety lol. Time to get it back to bare floors and empty space!
I found that taking it 10 minutes at a time helped, pick a corner, a drawer, just something, keep taking little bites
@@along9971 solid advice. Better to work on it one day at a time and get it done rather than putting it off indefinitely.
Exactly what I needed to hear today, Rich! The discussion of setting boundaries on 24/7 phone, text, email resonates with changes I began making a while ago. But minimalism has taken on increasing importance in our family more recently. Thank you!
Ryan, i read a great quote last weekend on parent(tification)s that resonates with what you're saying around 1:12:00, so thought i'd share with you and the others here ;
"GROWING UP is blaming your parents for everything that goes wrong in your life; being a GROWN-UP is realizing that you mainly have yourself to blame."
Let’s all get a van and live down by the river!
In a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!!! haha!!
CM, good one. :)
Sup Rich! Back on it, man. Seriously high quality podcast.
Great subject and just another amazing video. Everything I have watched from you is gold Rich.
Wow, glad Ryan talked about how he overcame his addictions
Thanks for the podcast. Everything is 100% off, if you don't buy it, brilliant.
I think 2nd documentary was good too.! I respect all 3 off them
Trading shames ….. I love that . Non-confrontational, fact focused non-accusatory
I love how this is about minimalism but the adverts are for Bicester Village (UK) ….all the big name brands that The Minimalists would not ordinarily be promoting!
I love the blazer! And Rich looks so well he’s got a nice tan - the break did him well xD
Thanks but recorded this before my break:)
Amazing.
I can relate to these guys, I´m the same age (40 in March), my dad was an alcoholic, I´m into minimalism but moderately. Also plant based.
Just a thought. I enjoyed this and listened to the podcast rather than here. The advert/promotion midway through was for Whoop. To me this bit of tech sits in direct conflict or contradiction to the core message of the podcast and the minimalist stance. OK I know this podcast doesn't pay for its self but I personally feel you cheapen the message when you cut from a chat about getting rid of the 'stuff' in out lives to an advert for exactly more stuff. I run, swim, cycle, eat healthy and by far the best way of understanding your body is to listen to your body, not listening to an algorithm attached to your wrist.
Having said all that I still enjoyed the podcast. Keep up the good work, oh, and one final thing - can you guys in California please stop complaining if it's a tiny bit colder than normal. I live in Scotland and everything I do is in the cold (proper cold), what I wouldn't give for a day or two of Californian bad weather!
So many of the questions that I’ve been considering of late, have just been offered an opportunity to see them through a previously unconsidered perspective...thanks guys, you’re providing a learning experience I’m so grateful to have been included in.
I like your hair the way you do your hair these days Rich!
the drive to accumulate things is usually a symptom,,
Love it !
All you possess, possesses you. Everything's connected.
I know minimalists that no longer strive for relationships. They’ve become detached from the entire process. Their aloneness comes from a shedding, a leaving behind concepts of love throughout partnership.
Happiness is a big empty room with a beautiful view
Go Rich!
50:41 Truth Bomb. Yep.
Great comment
57:00 It's what the great Alan Watts refers to as being in a double bind.
Is there a different documentary from the 2015 one they did?
Rewatching this and the comment about minimalism NOT giving your life meaning-that minimalism just gives you room for what does give your life meaning? I wonder if that's the biggest hindrance in trying/adapting minimalism. If you don't know what gives your life meaning, then more room in your life can actually feel more painful.
This was great. I am loving your stuff. My Fav so far- You and Russel Brand. Both of you were sharing what saved your life...I always give way too much credit to AA guys..ha ...but 12 Steps healed me in 87...and it is a way of life....for life- for many of us. Let's do a Podcast when you return. Your daughters are worth it and men...more so than the moms, have taken to my work. Weird or what? Not really.
Consumerism is also jobs snd economy, hopefully it'll put new business that is life inspiring.

This perfect for me I don’t need much as long as I have my books and a few cloths for work , my cycling and my beautiful cats . I don’t need anything. People are so bored and have too much in my opinion.
I want advice to be able to pack up and do whatever I want with 2 dogs and a cat lol
I've tied myself down with them it seems sometimes. But I love them
Is it out in South Africa? Yet....
People from a favourite podcast on another favourite podcast!
Please comment on minimalizing, what you think 1 year after, 3 years after and 5. Thanx
I like that.lol. Everything is 100% off if you don't buy it.
You have to find inner peace first, then you can shed things because they no longer hold value.
If you're not going to be a minimalist, then buy everything used. Ton of Ebay nerds out there, that keep their stuff in impeccable shape just to sell it in the future.
My husband says that all the time. It's 100% off if we don't buy it. lol
I am going to start using your husband's quote, love it: "It's 100% off if we don't buy it"
Hi can anyone tell me what tablet rich is using.
I'm in complete admiration of this. I recently found something with a similar message, and it was absolutely mesmerizing. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
This podcast setup is channeling the old Charlie Rose show. Love this conversation.
gamify, great word
So sad to see how cynical some of these comments are. It doesn’t follow that you can’t make money or monetize your efforts without compromising your message. Rubbish.
The message isn’t prescriptive on how you should live but asked the foundational question of why? Why so much stuff? Why clutter the mind and physical space? Watching one episode of Hoarders ought to show clearly how pathological society has become in it’s materialism and consumerism.
There is great freedom in simplicity and it need not also be an exercise in poverty to be legit.
I agree with you! I really appreciate the Minimalists message, and I am sadden to see Rich Rolls followers being so critical :( you'd think that in this space people would be kinder... and of course the Minimalists have to make money and work like all of us, a second film, a second book, etc. Embrace the message and if people don't like it, instead of posting mean comments, they can watch another video.
The vast majority of comments are very positive. Stop focusing on the small amount of negativity and overlooking the overwhelming positive. Also referencing such an extremist niche minority like hoarders as a reference to society shows the lack of strength in your point of view. It is sad that you felt the need to voice your negativity.
@@dbo4506 and thank you for your kind and generous thoughts.
love
We strive to have more but in the end its less because of the stress more brings into our lives
Organization is well planned hoarding “. Josh
“Everything is 100% off if you don’t buy!” Josh and Ryan
Has Matt dropped by Rich's podcast ever? Cuz damn he should.
I feel that our ego, because of its fear of death, wants to accumulate things in order to feel safe and secure.
True😊
Living in a van conversion with very little. I'm living for free folks. It's pretty sweet.
I live in a tiny house. Just purging a whole lotts crap again. It's so good. People who are so 'anti' have never bothered to put any real thought or effort into it.
LOVE YOU ALL 👍 💙 ✔️ 🦅
Hi... I’m a chick with “really great hair”🤣... I love the 12Steps to freedom... 22yrs now...I guide others who have lost all... & when they see it’s ok to want less & therefore be able to do more... it opens life to connecting with Nature as well.
TV ...? Is that like “Breakfast” or a “Sectional” ? 😂... Hey ... here’s another Minimalist Benefit... if someone breaks into my place... they’ll just leave... thinking ... it’s already been hit.🤷🏻♂️🤦♀️ Ring or security alarms ??
Save money to go experience strange geography or help someone less fortunate. Oh BTW, Rich ... I love your hair “it’s really great” 🧏♀️ & the podcast w/ Dr Zach Bush.
Wow, they completely don't understand Marie Kondo. She is more on their side of the spectrum and doesn't support buying at the Container Store. Humm, really confused by that classification of her work. She is about "Sparking Joy".
Any link to that claim on the number goods the average US citizen owns, 350K ??
