Minimal Simple

Benefit #1 – Simple Dollars and Sense

it seems important to remind myself the benefits of becoming minimalist.  living minimalist is contrary to every advertisement that has ever been created and because we live in a country that prides itself on the accumulation of possessions, it can be a difficult proposition to become minimalist.

for that reason, an important running thread needs to be the benefits of minimalism.

benefit #1 – simple dollars and sense.  one benefit of living simply is the simple reality that it costs less. as you accumulate fewer things, you spend less money. many people believe the secret to financial freedom is earning more money. unfortunately, when they begin to make more money without spending restraints in place, they just spend more money. the reverse is probably more: the real secret to financial freedom is spending less. and if you live a life that accumulates less “stuff,” you spend less.

one benefit of becoming minimalist is the simple reality that it costs less.  and if you are spending less money, you are experiencing countless other benefits as well (less stress, money for other experiences, etc).
