How to Save Money Like a Minimalist

 

The minimalist lifestyle often centers itself around possessions. Yet how we spend our money – what we choose to buy and how long we must work to make purchases – matters, as the tenets of minimalism uniquely lend themselves to finances. Indeed, simplified money matters can reduce stress, contribute to savings goals, and increase free time.

On today’s show I speak with Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), author, and fellow minimalist Dawn Starks. Dawn offers both mindset shifts and action-oriented techniques that go beyond automatic bill pay as she inspires you and me to apply minimalist principles to our bank accounts.

Here’s a preview of today’s episode:

[4:45] What a time-and-money balance looks like; plus why achieving such balance matters

[9:40] Why tidying your financial life starts with tidying your home

[16:15] How to trim your budget without sacrificing too much

[18:50] Beginner and intermediate strategies that simplify finances and save money
