Why would you bin clothes and not give them to a charity shop?

Sometimes i may pop a few things in the charity bank, but other than that i just cut them and use it for cleaning cloths.

Why are you a minimalist?

Mymsy · 26/07/2026 17:38

I aspire to be like you.

AnonyMumAuDHD · 26/07/2026 17:38

I love that for you. I wish I didn’t love stuff so much - books especially, as I have thousands. Do you have any really meaningful, personal possessions that you still hold on to and would never let go?

Do you save a lot of money living this way? Is living frugally also important to you?

Yes i go out i where trousers and a blouse im clean smart smell nice, if people want to take our money and want our services or be a part of our lifes, why should the clothes on our backs make a difference.

They don't. For me it's about looking and feeling a bit more special and like I've made the effort, especially for a wedding. However, we're all different.

I do save a fair bit, whats important to me is being happy and content.
Because stuff can be replaced happiness has to be gained.
Nothing is guaranteed its just temorary.
