Inheritance From Dickson Idlier

There are no fixed guidelines on choosing which lifestyle is the best. It depends on what suits you and adjusts or fine-tunes accordingly. Similarities for all three lifestyles: All are environmentally friendly to Mother Earth due to reducing the use of natural resources and less pollution.  Slow down your pace in life and mind. More intentional spending to prevent impulsive spending habits.  Less is more. Less money, busy, stress, debts, boredom, emptiness, hopelessness... To have more time, enjoyment in your life, good experiences, and memories, achievement, success, Get out of the rat race.  Simplicity in terms of living and way of life. Managing your personal finance. Spend less, save more so can relax early. Just needs more planning and consciousness of your spendings and ...

Too bad I don't have a license and there is no such van here.

Is a simple way of life people desire.  —— Dickson Idlier Live below your means is spending less money than you earn (budget management) but to me, it is living with bare essentials. Similar to minimalism  minus declutter your stuff to the minimum. Another aspect is be as debt-free as possible.  Will I be like a cheapskate person if I live below my means? Yes in a certain sense but you are smiling with a fat bank account while others slogging their lives over money. Different people perceive differently what are bare essentials. Below is an idea of living with my bare essentials: Food . We need to eat to live. Try to buy fresh ingredients and cook mo...

When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find. My most bazaar find is ... a Living   11-inch Freshwater Stingray .  My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home.  Luckily, after the rough journey hom...

  Reject mindless consumerism I chanced upon freeganism when reviewing my investments. I just left my stressful job (details in another post ). I dreamed to retire from work by age 45 but had no concrete plans then. I felt freeganism is a path to fulfil my early retirement dream. The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined the "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism impress me. I started dumpster diving and managed to rescue mostly merchandise and occasionally food. I spend money on bills, insurance premiums and food. Below are my reasons for becoming a partial-freegan: Sick of work.  Mainly due to office politics, backstabbing, lack of job satisfaction and Information Technology (IT) industry are always fire-fighting. Felt physically and mentally tired. Low pay jobs have their stress and problems. Want to quit working for money forever.  No idea why I earn money....

Image from :  https://freeganinsingapore.wordpress.com This post discusses the Freegans in Singapore (FIS) differences compared to other countries. Don’t totally rejects consumerism FIS doesn’t reject consumerism due to laws and a different mindset compared to other countries’ freegans. Basic human needs like food, shelter and medical are main areas that FIS still have to pay. Even if you can find expired food or vegetables, FIS in general, like me, still spend money on food, like cultured milk drinks, join social gatherings and food that we liked. It is illegal to pitch tents and living in beaches and parks or any public places. For shelter in land-scarce Singapore, we stay in government flats. Even after paying the loan for the flat, there are also recurring expenses like utilities, taxes and fees. Medical services are expensive, even with government grants. So FIS pay insurances. Working Less Not all freegans in Singapore can stop working. For those who are not working, we are l...

图片取自: https://freeganinsingapore.wordpress.com 这篇文章讨论了新加坡不消费者（FIS）与其他国家的不同之处。 不完全拒绝消费主义 与其他国家的自由主义者相比，不消费者在新加坡并没有完全拒绝由于法律和不同心态而产生的消费主义。 不消费者在新加坡仍然必须支付诸如食物，住房和医疗等基本的人类需求。即使您可以找到过期的食物或蔬菜，不消费者在新加坡总体而言，像我一样，仍然会花钱在食物上，例如养殖牛奶饮料，参加社交聚会和我们喜欢的食物。 搭帐篷住在海滩，公园或任何公共场所都是违法的。为了在土地稀缺的新加坡提供庇护，我们住在政府组屋。即使在偿还了住房贷款之后，也存在日常性费用，例如水电费，税收等。 即使获得政府津贴，医疗服务也很昂贵。因此，不消费者在新加坡购买保险。 少工作 并非所有不消费者在新加坡都能停止工作。对于那些没有工作的人来说，我们依靠的是储蓄或投资收益。政府通过针对低收入新加坡人的计划提供额外的政府支持。 大多数的不消费者在新加坡的有工作来支付账单或养家糊口，因此我们是部分的不消费者。 分享 在大多数国家/地区，但在不消费者在新加坡中，共享是很常见的。 FILIPOREAN PROJECT，由“新加坡F不消费者”创始人，科林.刘 发起。 不消费者在新加坡成员将垃圾箱中的潜水用品交给200名菲律宾家庭佣工。通常运费由他们或捐助者支付。这是新加坡最大的支持菲律宾穷人的非官方慈善机构。由不同地区组成的较小的共享组用whatsapp或Telegram应用程式来共享。

Image from: http://www.freegan.at/en/kontakt.htm Freeganism is an ideology of limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources, particularly through recovering wasted goods like food and merchandise. Freegans—at least in theory—avoid consumerism in general. Freeganism is often presented as synonymous with “dumpster diving” for discarded food, although freegans are distinguished by their association with an anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist ideology and their engagement in a wider range of alternative living strategies, such as voluntary unemployment, squatting in abandoned buildings, and “guerrilla gardening” in unoccupied city parks. Above information is extracted from Wikipedia. Freeganisim reduces consumption by finding useful or edible things from trash. A form of recycling and exchange for cash for most freegans. It is the most environmental friendly lifestyle, except stone age. —— Dickson Idlier Freeganism, in my opinion, is an extreme lif...

图片取自: http://www.freegan.at/en/kontakt.htm 不消费主义是对常规经济的有限参与和对资源的消耗最小的意识形态，特别是通过回收浪费的商品（如食品和商品）。 不消费者 (Freegans) 至少在理论上至少避免了消费主义。 不消费者者通常被视为废弃食品的“垃圾站跳水”的代名词。尽管人们将不消费者者与反消费主义者和反资本主义意识形态联系在一起，并参与更广泛的替代性生活策略，但，例如自愿失业，住在废弃的建筑物中，在闲置的城市公园中进行“游击园艺”。 以上信息摘自 (也被已翻译) Wikipedia 。 不消费主义通过从垃圾中找到有用或可食的东西来减少消费。一种回收和交换现金的形式。除石器时代外，这是最环保的生活方式。 — 闲人·迪克森 我认为，不消费主义是一种极端的生活方式，不是任何人都能追求的。您将损失很多，但也将获得更多的时间，少工作或不工作的自由，生存的本能，更多的内心平静和做自己。通过限制花钱，您会想到一些新颖的方式来获得所需的东西，这与极简主义有些相似。这是最可持续的生活方式，更适合我们的环境。减少碳足迹，回收或再利用没人想要的资源。 在深入研究之后，我注意到它包括两项有趣的活动：垃圾箱潜水以及共享和/或赠送东西。这些活动引起了我的注意，我将在其他帖子中分享更多详细信息。 相关帖文 ： 新加坡独特地不消费者 ， 【物之貴賤，因人而異, 物之贵贱】

Image from:    https://unsplash.com/photos/QZGQO3NvsLo Minimalism is keeping what is essential and getting rid of the rest. A state of mind, going beyond materialistic objects, relationships, mentality and the way of life. —— Dickson Idlier Popular quotes from famous minimalists: Minimalism is a tool to rid yourself of life’s excess in favour of focusing on what’s important—so you can find happiness, fulfilment, and freedom.  —— TheMinimalists Minimalism as a philosophy. —— Colin Wright Minimalism is a way of eschewing the non-essential in order to focus on what’s truly important, what gives our lives meaning, what gives us joy and value. —— Leo Babauta I got to know minimalism after I found freeganism. Its concept and ways resonate with me but are not suitable for me in a way. I can only choose to adopt their concepts mentally for now.  Current society is overwhelmed with busyness, buying or upgrading stuff, getting into deeper debt, make more money and clutter our ...

They accept less money through fewer hours worked in order to have time for the important things in life. Downshifters also place emphasis on consuming less in order to reduce their ecological footprint … Basically downshifters seek a life filled with more passion and purpose, meaning, fulfillment and happiness. A life to look back on with no regrets. Downshifters want to slow down at work in order to ‘upshift’ in others areas of their lives. For most people the change to a slow life through downshifting comes after a long quest for true happiness and fulfillment.” — Sl...
