Anyone that knows me knows I lead a very minimalistic lifestyle now. You have no choice when you don’t have a permanent home. I believe less is more, which is a big reason A Minimalist’s Train of Thought resonated with me when a friend sent it to me today:

Less money spent means more money saved

 

More money saved means the longer you can live in financial peace and security

 

Financial peace and security comes from owning less

 

Less stuff owned means less to carry around, move or have to travel with

 

Less responsibility for your stuff also means less maintenance and more time

 

The more time you have, the more relaxed you will feel

 

The more relaxed you are, the less you will care about stuff

 

If you care less about stuff, it means you’ll care less about image

 

If you care less about image, you will care more about experiences and memories

 

If you care more about experiences and memories, you will be happier with less

 

If you are happier with less, you’ll never want or need for more

 

The less you want or need for more, the more you will feel free
