The most common way is by buying only what you need.
Isn't that the point of living in general? I wouldn't say that this describes minimalism as it is something natural... Why would we buy things that we don't need? I know that many do it just to show off, to brag, or just to "show that they can", which is much worse than being a Scrooge... 😃 As always, the best thing is to be somewhere in the middle... Minimalist, but sharing things with others... ;)
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
Haha yes, buying what you need is the main point, but I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise that many people buy things just because. Buying things on wants and not on needs. That’s not really a bad thing, until you just can’t seem to separate your needs from wants. Like you said, becoming an extremist who only spends on needs is not minimalism anymore either. Thanks for stopping by and for the support:)
