Youheum is so calming, what a fantastic conversation. I really find value in her YouTube videos so went back to listen to this episode ✨

I checked out Yoheum's website and it was quite interesting. Her site mostly sells her books, budget lists, and hardly any free information. It's a very nice looking website. I am not sure if someone who is living on a strict budget and not having any stuff in the apartment or spending on any excess stuff...can be a role model in selling $50+ books and guides. If we are truly minimalists and we are following those who are...the first thing we should evaluate is whether any of these purchases are essential. Are there ways we can learn and practice minimalism without having to spend $. We could save this money for our retirement or emergency fund (like right now).
