I own a small business, have a small family, own a small home, own a small car. I am not a minimalist, but I have minimized debt (none other than house), and have therefore minimized the need to work full time. It's a good place to be, however I do still and likely will always have a desire for more. I think reading and immersing ones self in literature that discusses where real value comes from in life is a key exercise in reinforcing truth on the subject.
Thanks for your article OP.
thank you for the comment. Minimalism is different for each person. My father owns many things but he uses all of them and gets rid of everything that is not useful.
