"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.

You're not wrong. I think it's being consistent or trying to find other ways to generate more income so you can buy more assets faster. Time is what we will never get back and I try not to live in the past because I know it will hold me back. It's easy to say harder to do. Hell, trying to declutter I've found is extremely hard to do. You justify why you hold on to things you haven't even used in 2 years.

My son bought a Tran Am with primer body and a brand new 400cc engine last summer for a grand. Put a wrap on and he's got a muscle car

400cc? Also sound slike your son got extremely lucky. I have an 86 f250 with a 351w I've been trying to hold onto but I just don't have time and money to get it road worthy. Holes in floor pan, rusty suspension, etc. I rebuilt the c6 almost 5 years ago that only has 3 miles on it. Long story it worked great just haven't done much due to becoming a father and other needs first. It's rusting away in my driveway as I just can't get the time to fuck with it. She'll start up just ain't road worthy. It's one thing to have a project but a project you can't drive is an entirely different game. It sucks ass.
