That is exactly why these five frugal and minimalist hobbies stand out, because they offer enjoyment without the pressure of constant costs. The shift toward a simpler lifestyle has changed the way I use my time and energy, and it has opened the door to hobbies that bring genuine happiness without adding clutter or stress.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past couple of years, I have focused on saving, investing, and clearing out anything that no longer supports the life I want. Letting go of excess furniture, clothes, and random items has created the space to explore new interests that truly fit me. I declutter regularly, share things with friends and family, and make room for habits that support a more intentional lifestyle. As I rethink every part of my life, I have become more selective about the activities I choose, and these simple hobbies have made the biggest impact.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Past Hobbies<\/h2>\n<p>When I was a kid I loved collecting things. Whether it was post stamps, Pok\u00e9mon cards, stickers, or shells \u2013 I had them all. When I grew up those things held little value to me anymore. I stopped caring about them altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My mom noticed that I stopped caring about them and gave all those things away. Of course I was surprised when I found out years later \u2013 but the fact that I didn\u2019t miss them for such a long period of time says it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After I realized that I did not need or want these things in my life, I noticed that having fewer things means that you don\u2019t need to worry about a lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I decided that decluttering would be good for me, that was the end of me collecting all the things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another hobby I had was reading. I would go to the library 2x per week and read 10 books per week \u2013 no kidding. I would also ask books for my birthdays or other celebrations. The result? I would have an entire book closet filled with books.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is another hobby that I had to give up, as it took up too much space in my room.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Frugal And Minimalist Hobbies<\/h2>\n<p>After I\u2019ve let go of some of my old hobbies it was time for something new. Something that didn\u2019t take up so much precious space in my small home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it\u2019s good to see that these hobbies that are taking up less space are also saving me some money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of my hobbies!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

I still do. I love to dive into books and read for hours on end. For most years of my adult life, I would finish somewhere between 30-50 books.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reading is a hobby that could even be absolutely free if you rely on your local library for your books. But, if you buy every book you want to read completely new, it can become a pretty expensive hobby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you stick with what is available at your local library and don\u2019t buy books unless you know you are absolutely going to read it, you will be fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019m currently doing is taking my e-reader with me on my <a href=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/negotiate-mini-retirement\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">four month mini-retirement<\/a>, where I\u2019ve saved around 100 books. I mostly got them from friends, meaning they did not cost me anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My favorite books so far:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Blogging<\/h3>\n<p>Well, this one doesn\u2019t take up much space for sure! All you need to start a blog is a functioning computer. Perhaps a desk, otherwise the bed would work just fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Basically all you need is a computer and some time, that\u2019s about it. I am fortunate enough to have access to both of those things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I started my blog in December 2018 with <a href=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/gobluehost\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Bluehost<\/a> and it has served me so well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Blogging even helps me to earn a little income \u2013 which is nice. It\u2019s not like I get thousands and thousands per month with blogging, but between $100-$150 monthly. Which is more than I would have hoped when I started out.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to build an income besides your current day job, check out my <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/start-a-blog-complete-guide\/\">guide to starting a blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in blogging and making money blogging, I recommend you check out <a href=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/MakingSenseOfAffiliateMarketing\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing<\/a>.

Board Games<\/h2>\n<p>Playing board games is something I love to do with friends or family. Often times I do board games when I\u2019m having a night with friends. Depending on what location we are, we play different board games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Playing board games can become expensive when it\u2019s more about getting new board games fairly often. When you focus on playing the games instead of buying them, it is not such an expensive hobby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to different places with your friends for board games, you don\u2019t need to acquire them all yourself. Meaning that you don\u2019t have to store them as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Classic games we play are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01MU9K3XU\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B01MU9K3XU&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=radical111-20&amp;linkId=1444a07b875e89524804733a7c2d40f5\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monopoly<\/a> <\/strong>or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Q63HJ82\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B07Q63HJ82&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=radical111-20&amp;linkId=f86f27dac41977c927e42e1a90fa3bf9\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Risk<\/a><\/strong>.

Play some of the classics such as <a href=\"https:\/\/solitaired.com\/yahtzee\" rel=\"noopener\">Yahtzee<\/a>, the dice-game classic that involves rolling dice 13 times and scoring the most points in a variety of different combinations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Whether you\u2019re walking 30 minutes in a forest nearby your house, you\u2019re going backpacking in a national park, and everything in between. I consider that hiking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is a hobby that has little costs and it is very relaxing. It is a peaceful hobby that you can practice almost everywhere. All you need is a nice park or forest area where you can walk or hike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love spending time in nature. It is a great way to escape the busyness that is our everyday life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is the simplicity that really gets me. Just going outside for a walk to get some fresh air, sunshine, and move your body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re hiking around relatively flat areas with low intensity, you can just do it with the regular clothes that you already own.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re hiking uphill on uneven ground, you may want to buy some hiking shoes. That\u2019s all you need. I\u2019ve got some nice hiking shoes that have hiked quite some mountains on quite some continents. They still last.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Photography<\/h2>\n<p>Today you can start with photography. It\u2019s something I love completely, although I have to say my materials are not the best of the best.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I\u2019m going for holidays, trips, or I have some events, I love making pictures. <\/p>\n<p>Pictures are such a great way to keep memories and to remember the places you have visited!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are you favorite frugal and minimalist hobbies?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-wrap\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"author\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-tab\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-gravatar\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" www.w3.org=\"\" 2000=\"\" svg\"%20viewbox=\"0%200%20100%20100\" %3e%3c=\"\" svg%3e\"=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Radical FIRE Financial Independence Retire Early - Ecuador Photo with Dog Labrador\" itemprop=\"image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Knipsel.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Knipsel.webp\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Radical FIRE Financial Independence Retire Early - Ecuador Photo with Dog Labrador\" itemprop=\"image\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\" wp_automatic_readability=\"17.5\">\n<div itemprop=\"description\" wp_automatic_readability=\"30\">\n<p><strong>Founder of Spark Nomad, Radical FIRE, Journalist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expertise: Personal finance and travel content<br \/>Education: Bachelor of Economics at Radboud University, Master in Finance at Radboud University, Minor in Economics at Chapman University.<br \/>Over 200 articles, essays, and short stories published across the web.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Experience<\/strong>: Marjolein Dilven is a journalist and founder of Radical FIRE, a personal finance platform, and Spark Nomad, a travel platform.
