What Is Minimalism?

I'm what you'd call a minimalist.
Thats a word with potentially many meanings.

Sorta frugal, sorta downsized, sorta hate clutter.

But its more than that. It pisses me off that our economy is based on consumerism. And when we're not buying a bunch of stuff, consumer confidence is said to be low.

Maybe we just don't need anything right now. Maybe we're getting those last miles out of the Geo, and this laptop will do until the MacAffey is up for renewal. I spent Twenty nine bucks on this virus protection and I want my full year's subscription.

Its time consuming looking for matching socks in a drawer full of singles. So, sort them out, downsize and save gray matter for more important things like taxes and Facebook.

Too many magazines just get on my nerve. I read them and recycle. If anything needs saving, I cut that article out, paste it in a tiny notebook. Yup, you're right. By the time I have to do all that, the article just doesn't seem that profound anymore.

I qualify as a minimalist. I believe we need to look at what we have in the closet before heading out to improve the Economy by shopping. That attitude helps My Personal economy, and gives me time to write this blog.

A girl's gotta have a hobby!
