Spending Less, Living Better — Is Minimalism the Key?

[klassicdoll]

I’ve realized that living with less isn’t just about clearing space — it can save money, too. Once you start to really question what you’re buying, it becomes clear just how much in life most of us don’t actually need. It’s not a matter of deprivation but about selecting what enriches your life.

Do you believe that minimalism can actually help people manage money better? Or is it just a fad that’s difficult to stick with over the long haul?

Yes i believe it can to some extent. The key here should be to focus on buying only the things you actually need.

Yes, sometimes when we look at the things we've bought, a lot of them is not really necessary. When I was working full time, I used to buy a lot of shoes. Some I just wore once or twice. Now, I am a freelancer. Income is unstable. I am more discipline when spending money. I just buy what I need, and I never spend more than I earn.

I believe that being a minimalistic person, there's less worries about spending because there's control on your part. Revklessness is one factor why some individuals suffer finances. They lack orientation and a strategic planning and budgeting in a minimalistic way. Life feels better being a minimalist.
