thank you to Fiverr for sponsoring this video more on them coming up growing up I was taught that owning a lot of stuff was what made you rich so
感謝 Fiverr 贊助本片，稍後再介紹。小時候我被教成：擁有很多東西才叫有錢，所以
it's a bit ironic that becoming a minimalist and getting rid of over 90% of my belongings is what led me down the path to True
有點諷刺的是，成為極簡主義者、丟掉超過九成的物品，反而讓我走上真正的
wealth maybe one of the reasons our society is so materialistic is because it's easier to measure wealth by counting the number of big screen TVs in your home or how many
財富之路。也許社會這麼物質主義的原因之一，是數家裡有幾臺大電視、銀行帳戶有幾個
commas are in your bank account than it is in Daylights sunsets and smiles exchanged over morning cups of coffee as someone who spent far too many
逗點，比衡量日光、日落、早晨咖啡時交換的微笑還容易。作為花太多
years trying to fill up the hole in her heart with stuff I can say with confidence the material possessions we spend so much money on don't matter as
年用東西填心裡洞的人，我可以肯定說：我們花大錢買的物質，沒我們想的那麼
much as we think they do living in a house with an all-white kitchen and fancy granite countertops didn't make me any happier than one with
重要。住全白廚房、 fancy 花崗石檯面的房子，沒有比住
40-year-old unfashionable wood cabinets also it turns out those tiny jars of $200 skin creams didn't moisturize my skin any better than the big tubs of Cetaphil that I buy from
四十年老舊木櫥櫃的房子讓我更快樂。還有，那些小罐兩百塊乳霜也沒比我在
Costco and owning a nice car hasn't made me any happier than I was when I used to walk or take the bus or train to get
Costco 買的大罐 Cetaphil 更保濕。開好車也沒有比以前走路、搭公車或火車
around in fact I quite miss those carfree days now that we live in the suburbs where you can't get anywhere without a car along my journey to become a
出門時更快樂。其實我挺懷念沒車的日子，現在住郊區沒車哪都去不了。在成為
minimalist I learned a rich life is about so much more than money it's about Freedom not just Financial Freedom but also the freedom to live a life that's
極簡主義者的路上，我學到：富有的人生遠不止金錢，而是自由——不只有財務自由，還有
rich in experiences and not just stuff the kind of Freedom that allows you to go where you want to go and do what you want to do exactly when you want to do
過充滿體驗而非只有東西的人生的自由，那種讓你想去哪就去、想何時做就何時做的自由。
it living a minimalist lifestyle has helped me make so many positive changes in my life which is why in today's video I wanted to share a few of the minimalist
極簡生活幫我做了很多正向改變，所以今天想分享幾個極簡
habits that have helped me live a richer and more fulfilling life in the hopes that they might help you as well starting with number one on this list
習慣，它們讓我活得更富足、更充實，希望對你也有幫助。從第一點開始：
which is that I needed to redefine wealth and what it means to me when I was younger my family was what you might call stuff rich and from the
我必須重新定義「財富」和它對我的意義。小時候我家可說是「東西很多」，從
outside looking in you might have thought we had it all my dad was a collector who loved to buy things from coins and antiques to
外表看可能覺得我們什麼都有。我爸愛收藏，愛買東西，從錢幣、古董到
expensive cars and at one point he even had three Harley-Davidson motorcycles on top of all of the other cars and trucks he owned we had a nice house with a big
名車，一度還有三臺 Harley-Davidson 機車，加上其他車和卡車。我們有漂亮的房子、大
backyard and closets filled the brim with clothes toys and all of the latest gadgets and gizmos but it seemed like the more he he got the more he wanted and yet no matter
後院、衣櫥塞滿衣服玩具和最新小玩意。但好像他得到的越多就越想要，不管
how much stuff he bought it was never enough for him and over time my dad just got more and more depressed and his drinking just got worse and worse until
買多少都不夠。隨著時間我爸越來越憂鬱、酒越喝越兇，直到
he ended up losing his battle with alcoholism in his early 50s minimalism has opened my eyes to the fact that it doesn't matter how much
五十出頭就輸給了酒癮。極簡主義讓我明白：家裡有多少
stuff you have in your home or how nice your house is if the people living inside of it are miserable and it's truly amazing how much happier you are
東西、房子多好都不重要，住在裡面的人若很痛苦就沒意義。而且當你不再花那麼多在沒意義的事上，你會快樂很多、
and how much money you can save and put towards things that matter when you stop spending so much on the things that don't so if it's not about stuff then
能省下、用在重要事上的錢也很多。所以若不是關於東西，
what does a rich life mean to me to me it means being able to buy organic meats and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to make homemade meals to
富有的人生對我來說是什麼？對我來說是能買有機肉、足夠新鮮蔬果、做家常菜
feed my kids instead of the microwave dinners that I grew up with it means living in a fantastic school district and being able to set my own schedule
給孩子吃，而不是我小時候那種微波晚餐；是住在學區很好的地方、能自己排行程，
so that I can be there to open up the door and welcome my kids with a smile and a snack when they get home from
這樣孩子放學回家時我能開門、用微笑和點心迎接他們。
school who cares if most of my wardrobe is over 10 years old or purchased secondhand from the thrift store if it means that our family has the piece of
誰在乎我大部分衣服都超過十年或二手店買的？若這代表我們家能
living debt free here's a gentle reminder that wealth isn't just about net worth it's also about experiences relationships and peace of mind it's about having enough to live comfortably
無債生活。提醒一下：財富不只是淨值，還有體驗、關係、心安；是有足夠過得舒服
but not so much that the things that that you own end up owning you another minimalist habit that's helped me build wealth is calculating my
但不會多到讓你的東西反過來擁有你。另一個幫我累積財富的極簡習慣是算我的
cost to Joy ratio before I became a minimalist I used to spend money without much thought or intention beyond the number on the price tag but nowadays when I ask myself
成本與快樂比。成為極簡者之前，我花錢很少想、只看價錢。現在當我問自己
the question is this purchase worth it I'm not just talking about money I learned the hard way that we don't just buy things with our money but also our
這筆消費值嗎？我不只說金錢。我學到我們不只花錢買東西，還花
time and energy not not just the time and energy we spent working to earn enough money to buy those things but also the time and energy it takes to
時間和精力——不只有賺錢買那些東西的時間精力，還有在家
store and maintain them in our home let's say every time you go to Target you end up blowing $10 on treats or knick-knacks from the dollar spot that
收納、維護的時間精力。假設你每次去 Target 都會在 dollar spot 多花十塊買零食或小物，那
$10 might not seem like a lot at the time but if you do that every single week that's over $500 a year and when I
十塊當下可能不多，但若每週都這樣，一年就超過五百塊。當我
think about how much more joy I would get spending that money on 3 months worth of pizza Fridays with with my kids versus buying a bunch of cheap crap
想到把這筆錢花在三個月的週五披薩日跟孩子一起，vs 買一堆最後變成家裡雜物的便宜貨，
that's probably going to end up as clutter in my home that cost to Joy ratio is a no-brainer this mindset shift has not only helped me spend less and
成本快樂比根本不用想。這種心態轉變不只讓我少花多存，
save more but it also means that I'm much more satisfied with my purchases when I do spend money and I'm less likely to suffer from buyer
也讓我花錢時更滿意、比較少買完後悔。現在與其花在隨機廚房小物、最新服飾或家飾潮流，我把錢用在
remorse and nowadays instead of spending money on things like random kitchen gadgets or the latest clothing or home decor trends I put my money towards
體驗和真正豐富人生、騰出時間精力的事。說到這，在繼續之前我想
experiences and things that truly enrich my life and free up my time and energy and speaking of which before we move on I'd like to take a moment to
介紹一個我喜歡的極簡省錢招：本片贊助 Fiverr。

作為極簡者兼在家創業的忙碌媽媽，Fiverr 是我省錢、買回

寶貴時間的常用招。若你還不知道，Fiverr 是數位自由接案的主要平臺，使命是改變世界協作方式，
precious time in case you haven't heard of it Fiverr is the leading Marketplace for digital freelance services and their mission is to change how the world works
提供一流自由工作者。我多年來很愛用 Fiverr，請 Fiverr 自由工作者不只幫我

用影片剪輯、平面設計等服務把部落格和 YouTube 做起來，也幫我在別的地方省時省錢。其實
me grow my blog and YouTube channel with services like video editing and graphic design but it's also helped me save time and money in other ways in fact let me
我最近用 Fiverr 在新家省了大概五萬美元。我和先生買了一棟需要
show you how I recently used Fiverr to save me around $50,000 in my new home so my husband and I recently purchased a house that needed
一點更新裝修的房子，包括拆掉臭舊地毯窗簾、裝新木地板。但主臥我們很頭痛，
a few updates and Renovations which included things like getting rid of some stinky old carpets and curtains and installing nice new hardwood floors but we were having trouble deciding what to
因為我也需要當成自己的家庭辦公室，尤其窗簾我們不確定要裝在
do with the main bedroom because I also needed it to function as a home office for myself especially with the curtains we weren't sure if we wanted to install
框外還是框內，像前屋主那樣。大家都有強項弱項對吧，像速讀或競吃熱狗我是你的首選，但室內設計
them outside or in inside of the frame like the previous owners had had and we all have strengths and weaknesses right like when it comes to things like speed
就不太行。所以我開始找室內設計師，
reading or competitive hot dog eating I'm your girl but when it comes to things like interior design not so much so I started shopping around for an interior designer to hire
看到喜歡的設計師報價從兩萬五到
for some advice and I ended up with major sticker shock when I saw that all the designers that I liked were charging between $25 to
五萬一間房。總之我從昏厥中醒來後直奔 Fiverr，找到美國自由工作者 Michelle，評價很好、
$50,000 per room anyway after I woke up from my fainting spell I went straight to Fiverr and found a us-based freelancer named Michelle who had fantastic reviews in an
作品集很棒。她能根據我的喜好和建議做出一份很棒的 mood board，還有完整的 3D 渲染，從多角度呈現
amazing portfolio and she was able to take all of my likes and suggestions and create a fabulous mood board for me as well as a complete 3D rendering of how
主臥完工後的樣子。她不但完全命中我們的風格，還省下我大量採購時間和頭痛，因為我進去時
the finished bedroom would look like from multiple angles not only did she totally nail our but she also saved me so much time and headache on shopping because I went in
已經知道要買什麼、怎麼放才完美。與其花五萬，我用零頭就得到同樣的服務。
knowing exactly what I needed to buy to fit perfectly in our space and instead of spending $50,000 I was able to get the exact same service for a fraction of
成本快樂比不差吧。若不知從何開始，Fiverr 有智慧

off your first order when you use the code a to Zen life and thanks again to Fiverr for sponsoring this week's video another minimalist habit that's
把雜物變成現金。剛開始斷捨離時，我有超過三十年累積的東西。
increased my wealth is turning clutter into extra cash back when I first started decluttering I had over 30 years of stuff I'd been accumulating after
失去父母、童年老家和很多祖輩親人之後，當時我是全職媽媽，決定
losing my parents my childhood home and a lot of other grandparents and relatives as well and because I was a stay-at-home mom at the time I decided
把那些雜物當副業賣掉，目標是月入一萬一。因為東西太多，我其實超過目標，有
to start selling that clutter as a side hustle with the goal of making $11,000 a month and because I had so much stuff I actually blew past that and there were
幾個月甚至做到兩三千。很多人偏好直接丟或捐，但我發現
months where I even ended up making over $2 or $3,000 I know that a lot of people prefer to just trash or donate their clutter to get rid of it but I actually
賣雜物、尤其是有感情的雜物，很有療癒感：不只放下、拿回一點錢，
found selling clutter especially sentimental clutter to be therapeutic because not only was I letting go and making a little bit of money back but I
也知道那些東西會到新家、有機會被珍惜。極簡八年後我通常沒那麼多雜物可
also knew those things were moving on to a new home and a new chance to be loved now after 8 years of minimalism I usually don't have that much clutter to
賣，因為我很小心讓什麼進家門，東西會用到壞或穿壞、不再堪用。
sell because I'm really careful about what we bring into our home and we tend to use things up until they're either broken or worn out and not really inable
不過如前所述，我們最近搬進新家，前屋主留下一些很酷的復古音響。所以

sure and hit the Subscribe button and turn on all notifications for my channel if you want to hear an update on that in the future because it seems like there's
不少高檔貨，會很有趣看能賣多少。接下來是極簡習慣：有意識地少擁有。
some pretty high-end stuff here and it will be interesting to see how much it's worth next up we have the minimalist habit of mindfully choosing to own less
擁有是一種責任，可好可壞。若你擁有的東西有在用、有為人生加分就好；反之
ownership is a responsibility and that can either be good or bad it's good if the things you own get used and add value to your life but on the other hand
擁有一堆不常用、不享受的東西，往往變成負擔，拖垮你、浪費時間精力和金錢。極簡圈有句話：
owning a lot of stuff you don't use or enjoy often ends up becoming a burden that can drag you down and waste your time energy and money there's a saying
看看週圍，那些雜物曾經是錢，那些錢曾經是時間。我對現在家裡留什麼空間，真的把這句話放在心上。
in the minimalist community that goes look around all that clutter used to be money all that money used to be time and I've really taken that to heart when it
最後一點是：對人生負起徹底的責任。如你所見，過去四十年我經歷很多起伏，
comes to the things that I make space for now in my home and finally the last habit on this list is taking radical responsibility for my life as you can
陷入虐待關係、輟學、失去父母和老家、打兩三份最低薪資工活很久。我曾覺得自己像水母，
probably tell I've been through a lot of ups and downs over the past 40 years getting into an abusive relationship and dropping out of college losing both my
只是隨生命之流漂、漂到哪算哪。二十三歲失去爸爸後，我每天清晨五點
parents and my childhood home and working two to three minimum wage jobs to survive for a long long time I saw myself like a jellyfish who was just
走去墓園，在上學前去看父母的墓。有一天特別糟、哭了很多之後，我偶然看到一句
floating through the currents of life and going wherever they might take me after I lost my dad when I was 23 I used to get up at 5:00 a.m. and
Rumi 的話：門開得那麼大，你為什麼還待在牢裡？那句話讓我
walk to the cemetery so that I could visit my parents' Graves every morning before school and one day after a particularly bad day where I was crying
明白沒人會來救我，得靠自己創造更好的人生。對我來說徹底負責就是
a lot I stumbled Upon A roomy quote that went why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open and seeing that quote helped me
自我決定：我百分之百為自己的人生和結果負責，不管外在因素如何。
realize that no one was coming to help me and it was up to me to create a better life for myself to me radical responsibility means
負起徹底責任讓我終於克服囤積症、放下三十年雜物，也開始
self-determination it's the idea that I am 100% responsible for my life and the outcomes that I experience regardless of the external factors that might come my
療癒家族裡代代相傳的創傷與成癮。負起徹底責任不容易，但人生因此好很多、富足很多。若你想多聽

出門時更快樂。其實我挺懷念沒車的日子，現在住郊區沒車哪都去不了。在成為
minimalist I learned a rich life is about so much more than money it's about Freedom not just Financial Freedom but also the freedom to live a life that's
極簡主義者的路上，我學到：富有的人生遠不止金錢，而是自由——不只有財務自由，還有
rich in experiences and not just stuff the kind of Freedom that allows you to go where you want to go and do what you want to do exactly when you want to do

極簡生活幫我做了很多正向改變，所以今天想分享幾個極簡
habits that have helped me live a richer and more fulfilling life in the hopes that they might help you as well starting with number one on this list
習慣，它們讓我活得更富足、更充實，希望對你也有幫助。從第一點開始：
which is that I needed to redefine wealth and what it means to me when I was younger my family was what you might call stuff rich and from the
我必須重新定義「財富」和它對我的意義。小時候我家可說是「東西很多」，從
outside looking in you might have thought we had it all my dad was a collector who loved to buy things from coins and antiques to
外表看可能覺得我們什麼都有。我爸愛收藏，愛買東西，從錢幣、古董到
expensive cars and at one point he even had three Harley-Davidson motorcycles on top of all of the other cars and trucks he owned we had a nice house with a big
名車，一度還有三臺 Harley-Davidson 機車，加上其他車和卡車。我們有漂亮的房子、大
backyard and closets filled the brim with clothes toys and all of the latest gadgets and gizmos but it seemed like the more he he got the more he wanted and yet no matter
後院、衣櫥塞滿衣服玩具和最新小玩意。但好像他得到的越多就越想要，不管
how much stuff he bought it was never enough for him and over time my dad just got more and more depressed and his drinking just got worse and worse until
買多少都不夠。隨著時間我爸越來越憂鬱、酒越喝越兇，直到
he ended up losing his battle with alcoholism in his early 50s minimalism has opened my eyes to the fact that it doesn't matter how much
五十出頭就輸給了酒癮。極簡主義讓我明白：家裡有多少
stuff you have in your home or how nice your house is if the people living inside of it are miserable and it's truly amazing how much happier you are
東西、房子多好都不重要，住在裡面的人若很痛苦就沒意義。而且當你不再花那麼多在沒意義的事上，你會快樂很多、
and how much money you can save and put towards things that matter when you stop spending so much on the things that don't so if it's not about stuff then
能省下、用在重要事上的錢也很多。所以若不是關於東西，
what does a rich life mean to me to me it means being able to buy organic meats and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to make homemade meals to
富有的人生對我來說是什麼？對我來說是能買有機肉、足夠新鮮蔬果、做家常菜

給孩子吃，而不是我小時候那種微波晚餐；是住在學區很好的地方、能自己排行程，

這樣孩子放學回家時我能開門、用微笑和點心迎接他們。

成本與快樂比。成為極簡者之前，我花錢很少想、只看價錢。現在當我問自己
