When someone is too used to minimalism. Any hope?

[Kross]

I have an uncle who has been a minimalist since the days he was struggling. He has become very rich now but is still a minimalist. He can't even give himself the life that his financial status deserves on the average. His kids are suffering even when he is very rich.

What can we do to recalibrate his mind from minimalism?

You must make up your mind not to allow yourself to be used at all because a time will come when you'd no longer be preferred.

Someone like that used to minimalism is sure not going to ever change. Leave him as long as he keeps building wealth.

I think it is the wife that can bring him out of that lifestyle if she has some foothold on his life. Maybe, some influential family members can too. They should talk to him on the need to loosen up on the minimalism a little bit.

This is just stinginess let gives it the make it deserves. He should be told about this incase he is not aware

I believe that if you tell him that, he would start telling you how that same minimalism is responsible for his financial success.

Well, that will still chsnge the fact that he is not doing the minimal life the right way this is punishment

In situations like this you can't really do anything, until the person realizes themselves, that's when changes can take place. The best you can do is advise.

If your uncle is still a minimalist even though he has a lot of money, you should try to show him that life is not only about saving but also about balance. You can take him to different experiences like travel or family outings so that he sees the value of spending less for the happiness of the family. You can also emphasize to him that children need comfort and a better future. This may make him change his perspective a little and realize that money is a tool of life.
