I have a fish camp that has solar and a wood stove. A propane furnace for the cold months I'm not home. No air conditioning. Always have a large garden and can. When my girlfriends over the years have come over they are very weirded out at first I have only 2 bowls, 2 plates, 2 forks, basically 2 of everything utensil wise. Thats it. But then when dishes need to be down you dont have much to do!
I dont have anything in my "house" that I cant bring myself to throw away. I lived in 19 houses in 16 years so I was tired of always throwing away things I didnt use and didnt realize it until I was moving.
I became a minimalist out of frustration from moving so much.
If nothing else I save a lot of money and enjoy my days more than most because I dont have the typical "chores"
The one thing I really over indulge in is that I have 11 boats around the country. I hate trailering boats so when I see a 14ft lund or a jon boat thats cheap I'll pick it up and find cheap storage near where I want to fish.
