What are the biggest benefits of minimalist living? – Asks the daily prompt.

I’m not sure what everyone’s definition of minimalist living is so I’ll stick with some general benefits.

• It’s probably easier to find your keys being you have a small home.
• For a lot of us it probably means living within our means.
• You don’t have room to be a hoarder.
• You might discover some of those luxury items are a pain in the ass.
• Simplifying things might lead you to discover the importance of being content with yourself.
• Let’s you focus on life and people instead of things.
• Easier to figure out what to wear.
• Travel time for vacation is reduced to picking up the folding chair and taking it outside.
• You’re not the target of people who will steal.

I love the ability to appreciate the small things in life and being happy with what I have. It makes life a lot easier. I’m not saying I live a minimalist lifestyle, but it is compared to most of the people I know. And that’s fine with me.
