I want to live a simple life. A simple life means a life without stress, anxiety and worry. Living with less stuff, less debt, less clutter means living with more freedom, more time, more joy. I don't need a lot of stuff. I only want to have a small family and earn a comfortable living, and spend more time with family.
I just want to be happy.
What do you say? Do you also want to live a simple life? Any ideas of how to simplify the life?

I'm a minimalist. I try to only have things that I use daily or things that bring me joy like my grandpa's old bow tie or grandma's earrings. I do keep old letters and cards which aren't practical but they bring me joy. Everything that matters to me can be fit into my Toyota car. It's liberating not to have a lot of stuff tying you down!

That's really a simple life. 
I'm creating a life of simplicity for myself.
Simplicity makes me feel happier, healthier, more joyful, more relaxed, more prone to laughter and dancing, more in touch with my emotions, more loving towards my boyfriend.

I'm also trying to be a minimalist now. Living with less. And I can live happily without constantly buying new things.

Im working on downsizing, and it is hard at times. We are redoing our house flooring and painting, everything. So everything is kinda on hold to reorganize and see what I want to keep and what to get rid of. We like doing crafts so I have lots but want to go thru it all. Another problem is we have lived here over 20 years with up to 10 kids at a time, we have 8 ourselves so there is a lot of stuff that they have given to us over the years.

I know it's not easy to do a house renovation. I hope you can make everything done well.

@A_loves_B My biggest problem right now is no storage places, this is a old house, no closets at all, heck there was no cupboards when we got it either. LOL!
Got a carpet yesterday, which was work!

I live a simple life with no pomp and show. However, I prefer to have those luxuries in my life, which I could afford so as to make my life comfortable.

@A_loves_B You are right that one should have basic amenities to spend his life and yet he could live a simple life. Contentment in life is more than anything else. The one who feels contended could live a simple life.

That's a simple life. Living a simple life doesn't mean that one lives without TV, no internet access, no cellphone, no radio, no video games, no electric stove, no rice cooker, no AC, no comfortable bed, house without any room, bamboo walls, roof made of coconut leaves, floor made in hardened clay/mud, no decent bathroom. But, a simple life means a life which is having the basic necessities and being content. not wanting more than you need.

Ha ha. Half simple life then. The core purpose of living a simple life is being happy and content to take every day as it comes, not wanting more than we need to survive, and appreciating the beauty of this world.

I too love a simple life. Less stress ,less worries, a comfortable house, food, and to earn to meet our basic needs in life.Never be extravagant. Don't be very ambitious in life you will never be happy If you don't get it.

I think you have the right idea. It's not the stuff that makes us happy, it's family.

Yep. Living with less or downsizing can make us happy without constantly buying new things.
