RE: Becoming minimalist: when having fewer possessions means living a better life
This is what I have learned about material objects also known as
possessions:
1. It is not the getting that is so hard, it's the maintenance and
repair that become a difficult, expensive, and time consuming
affair.
2. The more "stuff", the more rooms, the more time spent cleaning
and repairing as noted above.
This is my sole reason for believing in quality and not quantity and
the number one reason for a minimalist life. Unless you can afford
a gardener, maid service, technician and mechanic...keep it small.
Time is the most valuable asset I possess and anything that
drains my time account is history.
