What is minimalism?

Can't afford a big house, can only live in a small apartment. You: Small is good, cleaning takes only ten minutes, grabbing things doesn't require walking back and forth, warm and cozy, the saved mortgage can be used to travel around the world.

Can't afford a luxury car, take the subway every day. You: Taking the subway is good, no worries about traffic jams causing delays, no need to find parking, the saved fuel and maintenance costs are enough to enroll in several self-improvement classes.

Friends gather less and less, no one invites you on weekends. You: No invitations, no need to toast at the dinner table, no need to listen to others brag, finally have time to finish that book you've bought a long time ago.

So-called minimalism is not about having nothing, but about spending time and money on beautiful things.
