I'm a Minimalist. I own a $600,000 home. I don't care if it goes up to $700,000, I'm not selling it. I have no mortgage. Paid it off 9 years ago (15 yr mortgage) I've have zero debt. Pay cash for every thing. Not married/No kids. I've been a Bachelor forever. I tell girls I'm an endangered species. I workout at the Gym all most everyday. The Gym is my stage I shall not want is my motto. I'm in my sixties and girls at the Gym think I'm in my early forties. Full head of hair and excellent genes. I've never looked this good in my entire life. I'm looks/maxed out to the max and more. All I have to is maintain it. I get validation from girls all the time. I seem to be getting younger, not older. How did this happen? Like Rich Cooper says: Do the work and that's what I've done. I mean what else have I got to do. Also, I'm financially well off!

I think the problem people have with the idea of minimalism is that you have to live like a broke college kid or you have to be some kind of a monk. No, it means you just don't waste your money on shit you don't need, especially to impress other people. You get what you want, but most importantly, you live. It's not complicated.

I'm on the fence about this idea. On one hand if your goal is to be single and just enjoy your own life without caring about the opinion of others, then this makes sense. But what about men who want to attract the hottest girl? In order to increase your sexual market cap you have to have something that signals your status. Where do you draw the line between materialism and social hierarchy signaling?

i am a "pure blood" Minimalist bachelor. never been married, no had kids, small house cheap car. My 3 drawbacks. 1) you have to absorb all costs, no one to share bills, rents, mortgages etc with, so being frugal and money management very important. 2) if you lose your job or quit you have no one to fall back on so again its about ensuring you are prepared for this. 3) i am now in my 50's and big issue is health. Things are starting to breakdown on me (eye sight, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol etc) and it would be good to have someone who could support you esp if it was a serious illness like cancer.

The good thing about minimalism is the high seas. You read the books and watch the TV shows and movies, but you don't pay for them. The other great piece of entertainment is listening to the squeals about high gas prices. "Oh man these gas prices are killing us." This from a husband and wife who between them are driving over $100k worth of vehicles, I just nod in agreement with the Subaru worth probably $3k without needing to look at the pump price.

The first car I bought after getting married was a 1997 Dodge Neon. I paid six hundred bucks for it, put a couple of hundred bucks worth of parts into it and drove that to work for five years. My next car I paid $1500 for. 1999 Chrysler 300M. Not as good on gas, but roomy, luxurious (as far as eight year old business class sedans went) and had a humongous trunk (a necessity in the Army) and very comfortable. I drove that one for seven years. If you can fix cars (and especially if you speak Spanish), you don't ever need a car payment. ;)

Everything I own fits in one room, I don't have a car (hike/bike wherever I need to go, benefit of a small town) haven't turned on the TV in about 10 years, it's just a conversation piece at this point. I got to see the world while falling out of airplanes and getting shot at in the Army, and now at 50 after a divorce 20 years ago, I spend my money on camping gear/weapons/computer parts and am blissfully living a minimalist, solitary existence. I'm lucky to have a boss with many of the same interests as me, and we have great conversations on topics ranging from quantum mechanics/philosophy/blacksmithing/bushcraft/theology/politics, the list goes on. He is one of the rare ones that has an amazing wife and daughter, and one of THE most incredible backyards I've ever seen, built by hand by himself including two ponds for frogs and crayfish (damn good eating if you like crawdads and frog legs, which I do) and an amazing firepit that we can sit by and ramble on for hours sipping whisky at. Other than him, I have one other that I consider a "real" friend, guy I trained almost 10 years ago and we still see each other almost daily, damn good guy. I spent a year on walkabout, camping all over Colorado and Montana living off the land and carrying only what I could hump in my rucksack. I went weeks without seeing/hearing another human, just being at peace in nature. When the only voice you hear is your own, you can do some deep, proper introspection and appreciation for the world around you. Oddly, I have more people wanting to interact with me the more I've become less interested in "society", they find me odd, but seem fascinated by my refusal to be part of "the machine". I think a lot of it might just be simple envy, they at least on some level understand they're slaves to a system that doesn't give a damn about them, but are unable/unwilling to unplug and go their own way. Most people have never truly tested themselves, and have not the slightest clue who they are and what they're capable of. They live lives of quiet desperation as the saying goes. As far as female companionship goes, I long ago accepted that the odds are horribly skewed against it (I think Aaron stated something like 2.7% are marriageable material in The Book of Numbers) and simply act with polite disinterest. I need to follow Aaron's advice about "spend it, you earned it" as I'm a natural cheapskate and have to force myself to drop money on anything I don't deem as "essential". Having been to Europe/Korea/Japan/Panama/UK and various places too horrible to mention, I've decided to focus on seeing more of the USA. I've never been to the Northeast and would love to hop the Amtrak and see Maine/New Hampshire/Rhode Island, I think that'll be my next adventure.

No one is willing to acknowledge that we are exiting an era of convenience that is a fluke when compared to the rest of human existence. As a minimalist I've relinquished my ambitions to keep up with the modern consumption jones in exchange to being very self subsistent, to the extent that I live and operate my business on a rich man's property, because I've spent my life absorbing and trialing skills and techniques, while he is very one sided and consumed by responsibilities. Everything I own fits in the back of my truck, and is of quality that can be passed down as heirlooms, or is otherwise a bulk consumable, able to be sold at a rate greater than I purchased it (garden fertilizers and greenhouses, exc). Anytime I've needed to move and don't have a plan, I'll buy a $1-2k utility trailer, throw $200 insulation and interior into it, live in it on a leased property until I find a house, then sell the utility trailer for 1.5x what I paid. The biggest perk to minimalism for me, is as someone who makes only $45-50k a year, i save over 20-30k per year, and have gotten to the point at age 35 where I have every material item I've ever wanted. Air rifles, custom hiking backpacks/sleepbags/tents, every tool to build anything, all titanium cooking ware, all silk clothing, tons of wool blankets, decent computer with drawing tablet. I stopped working for the past four months and took 5 online classes, plus dedicated 10 hours a day to digital art, because I have nothing to hold me back otherwise. I also know enough people in my community that I run into someone I know everytime I go to the grocery store, and I get plenty of female attention, especially from the new flock of interns I avoid every year. The biggest downside i've noticed in staying single in this lifestyle, is when a friend visited me on her birthday, one of her friend's dog sat next to me in a car ride, and the warmth of another living being against me, startled my mind in a way that woke up a sleeping emotional side, because of how long it had been since I felt any warmth. That's my own doing though, because I avoid relationship with transient women, and battle with workaholism, 10-12+ hours no days off, working for myself.

Something different in conversation! Well,.... I was amazed at the technology in 2-cycle engines used in snowmobiles these days. The Rotax engines used in Ski-doo's don't mix the gas with the oil. The engine uses direct fuel injection squirting gas only into the cylinders at the right time. Oil is pressure fed to the bearings and other important points within the engine. As a result these engines use very little oil. That's great as then the oil smoke emissions are very low. Note that air is still sucked into the crankcase and eventually finds its way into the cylinder so a minute amount of oil still finds its way to be burned. But the amount is miniscule compared to so many years ago. Yeah, that's the kind of conversations I like to have. And no, you want to glaze over a woman's eyes instantly? Just bring up this subject. Ha ha ha ha ha ha....... And I don't give an F what Oprah or the Cardiassions are up to.

Well...

It's gotten to the point that all the guys at these parties call me out to their hangouts to just talk and plan trips cuz of my photos and stories of travelling these last 6 months. A part of me hopes my retirement plans fail and that crypto goes the way of Dan Peña and dies because if I get fully retired in the next 5 years I'll lose what's left on my bucket list before I'm 40. Being a minimalist bachelor has made me more popular in the common circles I used to hang out with in High School, now that I've made it some small steps above the average guy around me.

Just wanted to add my $0.02. There's a difference between true minimalism and frugalism. Actual minimalism involves trying to minimize one's possesions. Frugalism involves reducing ones expenditures. The difference is that sometimes frugalism requires one to purchase certain possesions in the short term to minimize long-term expenses. For example someone buying land in order to have a large garden then buying a large freezer to store the produce of the garden during the non-growing seasons. Ralph Nader is another example. When he was younger, he purchased a few dozen pairs of shoes in order to get a bulk discount (and because he found a brand that he really liked). He was then able to avoid buying shoes for several decades as a result.

I love not owning anything really, I have a small car and everything I own can fit in it with plenty of room to spare. I have an old cracked iphone se and a ten year old chromebook. People say where is your stuff? Sorry I am not a hoarder or live in one of those houses you drive by and they have the garage open and it is packed full of shit while their cars are on the street. I spend 20 bucks a month on gas driving a hybrid and around 50 a month on food. Most people don't use or need most of what they have. I love it, I feel like a super spy or something, if there was ever a need to evacuate I am out the door in two minutes, no kids, no wife, no pets, no piles of shit, grab an extra shirt and my beer and I am counties away before the rest of you are even comprehending the situation. If gas prices are a problem for you then you need to get your shit together.

You go to state fairs to get a look at the chickies in their daisy dukes and cowgirl boots ya fool! Some things give me pleasure in my solitude so I have traded some slavery to obtain them. Cannot see myself going full minimum and not interested in other cultures. People are basically wired the same around the world.

Have some fun boys, instead of getting a 2nd hand Range Rover evoque for the poon rating, I got a 96 deville off Craigslist for less than 2 grand. That’s like a new Louis Vuitton for your shity ex girlfriend! Can’t wait to put some money into it and have a nice pimped out caddy to drive around in. Already have an f-150 paid off so this is just my fun car.

The suspension in JLR vehicles is first rate. I should know, I work at the factory where we design and manufacture the parts. Everything else? Medicore to incredibly poor quality. Especially the electrics. Stay well away. Total money pits.

I can certainly understand having multiple conversations with my minimalist self. There in lies genius. But, having to reason with a honey badger I ran into on the trail? It did eventually understand my dilemma. And went along the way.

Didn't realize Cappy was a local. Tools, I couldn't get along w/o the full compliment of hand tools. It has always surprised me how few people own tools, know how to use them or hesitate to borrow them. Can't be a minimalist, I own too many tools.

Ex would try to shame me for my minimalism. She would get so mad when I hit her with "I'll measure my results against yours any day. Well you're older (41 vs 34). Ok. Let's go back to 34. Explain my results then. I loved watching her skirm.
