Inspired Budget · #223: Creating a Home You Love with Less Stuff with Jacqueline Stein · 28 Aug 2025 podcast

Yeah, I think definitely on that route.

I don't know that anything majorly surprised me, but one thing we talk a lot about now is

we have, this may scare some people, but we have more variable costs instead of fixed costs, which can scare people because they're not sure how much they'll cost.

But for us, our fixed costs and our expense every month is always the exact same.

And then the variable things we can actually tailor to what we want to do.

So we're able to spend more or less on certain things.

So if we want to camp at a nicer area, or if we want to go travel to

a city that has more to do and maybe we're going to spend more on experiences, we can reduce our costs in another area.

So for us, I think that was kind of an excitement, but also a bit of a shock.

But I would say the biggest thing, like you said, is the weight that lifted off my shoulder.

I felt like I didn't owe myself all these things.

And the one thing actually surprising that did kind of freak me out was decor.

I was shocked by how much I was buying decor.

I know we all kind of buy seasonal decor, Christmas decor, things to fill our house with because we want it to be beautiful.

And I feel the same way, but I buy much fewer items.

And I feel like I don't have to fill the space as much.

I'm really enjoying more empty space, more open space.

If you're familiar with Marie Kondo, like the style of just living happier, does something spark joy for you?

I feel like everything I own sparks joy for me and makes me really happy.

And it's higher quality, better stuff instead of having a lot of stuff that I'm just filling the space with.
