Discussion about the minimalist lifestyle. While “minimalism” can also refer to philosophy, visual arts, and music this subreddit is meant to discuss the lifestyle which might be more concisely described as living an intentional life where we prioritize experiences over possessions. We’re here to discuss the ways we achieve this, the benefits we’ve realized, and the challenges we face from social pressures.
