🌿 Minimalism Isn’t About Owning Less — It’s About Living More
Like many urban millennials, I thought buying more meant living better.
Then came burnout, clutter, and credit bills.
In 2024, I tried intentional living — and by the end of the year, I had saved over ₹1,00,000.
Here’s how I did it.
💸 7 Ways Minimalism Helped Me Save Big
1️⃣ No More Impulse Shopping
I unsubscribed from sale emails and unfollowed fashion hauls.
💰 Saved: ₹20,000 in clothing and accessories.
2️⃣ 1-In-1-Out Rule for Everything
Bought only if I gave away something old.
💰 Saved: ₹10,000 on home decor and gadgets.
3️⃣ Switched to Experiences Over Stuff
Instead of gifts, I started gifting hikes, movie nights, or homemade meals.
💰 Saved: ₹8,000 on birthdays and holidays.
4️⃣ Meal Planning & Bulk Grocery Shopping
Reduced food waste. Started cooking at home.
💰 Saved: ₹12,000 in Zomato orders and dining out.
5️⃣ Minimalist Phone Setup
Deleted shopping apps. Stopped upgrades.
💰 Saved: ₹25,000 on avoiding the latest model.
6️⃣ Rented Instead of Buying
Party outfits, camera lenses, or even furniture — I rented smart.
💰 Saved: ₹15,000 over 12 months.
7️⃣ Mental Clarity = Less Emotional Spending
Journaling + meditation = mindful money habits.
💰 Priceless, but it helped me avoid impulsive buys during stressful times.
