"you will own nothing and be happy" These are the words our so called elite whisper in our ears, the very words I know we all hate but I find it ironic that yeah, trying to adopt a minimalistic life style can create less mess, less things, and cleaner more organized home. You eventually come to find you don't need a large lavish home to happy life. But I can't seem to get out of this mindset. I want a bigger home. I want to have that bad ass muscle car that was once an affordable dream of mine now seems almost unachievable. I e been priced out. Hobbies of mine I've fallen out of because it's too expensive. I've ultimately decided to try and create this minimal lifestyle in hope I can have more freedom. Or is this a way I have to now justify things because I can't get what I thought was once achievable. What are your all's thoughts? I'm trying to get out debt but I find it hard nowadays. I have a stay at home wife and two kids. Drive to paid off older cars, live in a garage less 1200sqft house single level on about half an acre. Barely contributing to a retirement.
