It seems people that practice minimalism are better off in economic times such as our current recession. What I like about you is that you don't seem to deprive yourself when you practice minimalism.<br><br>But honestly what I love about minimalism is that you don't have to be a slave to your job. Minimalists can escape the rat race much sooner than the rest of our peers.<br><br>I also want to add, if I'd heard of minimalism much earlier in life, I would have felt much more free. I don't know why, but it didn't occur to me to go against the norm until recently. I would have moved out of my parents home much sooner if I had only realized I just needed to be a minimalist to live well.<br><br>I'm currently 27, but hey rather now than later, right? Sometimes it takes a little longer for some people, like me to realize we don't need to do everything that our peers do. I agree that you don't need as much stuff as people think they do. <br><br>Another thing that I love about minimalism is that ANYONE can do it. I'm not the type that buys self-help books and I hate reading blogs where the author brags about how he or she did something without giving advice on how others can achieve the same things. Well I love that anyone can be a minimalist.<br><br>Its something that's reachable. Thanks for writing your book, the art of being a minimalist, you don't know how much it has helped me. I only wish that I had been as intelligent as you had been. But its never too late to learn. =) I love reading your blog, you show that you don't need to be a Hilton to actually enjoy living a good life.

But honestly what I love about minimalism is that you don't have to be a slave to your job. Minimalists can escape the rat race much sooner than the rest of our peers.

I also want to add, if I'd heard of minimalism much earlier in life, I would have felt much more free. I don't know why, but it didn't occur to me to go against the norm until recently. I would have moved out of my parents home much sooner if I had only realized I just needed to be a minimalist to live well.

The internet allows the world to develop at a pace so fast, the traditional education system cannot keep up. Exactly, your experience with teachers mirrors my own.
