So today I got my
gummint social security check (actually direct deposit) of $1170. My
experiment in minimalism begins today with this post.
So what is
minimalism? It is actually a philosophy of life. It's core can be
found in the question, “how much is enough.” It simply asks the
question about your stuff, “what is necessary; what adds value to
my life?” The answer will vary greatly from person. There is no
dogma involved. You proceed by eliminating everything that doesn't
fulfill the answers to those quest. The change involved can be
marginal to radical. I will discuss it more later and provide
information on the best books and blogs that I have found.
Although my target
audience is aging baby-boomers, most of the material might be of use
to anyone.
The possible topics
are endless: food, clothing, housing, health care, transportation and
entertainment are but a few. I will be looking at all these and more.
In my next post I
will break that $1170 down for you and provide complete financial
transparency on-going.
Until then,
Mike
