Exactly! Pick and choose what works best for you, and if nothing out there resonates then feel free to blaze your own path 🙂

Thanks for the feedback Jim! Also awesome to hear that you cycle to work. I imagine that has health and wallet benefits!

Very cool to hear that we’ve had a similar journey up to this point! And agreed, it’s all about adopting what works for you and letting the rest go. Also good to hear that you’re a Chipotle fanatic as well 🙂

Thanks Lin! By “best selling venues” do you mean sources that influenced me to pursue minimalism? If so, the big one that influenced me was the documentary Minimalism on Netflix. It also helped that the guys who made that film grew up in the same city as me. I’d recommend checking it out if you haven’t seen it before!

There is so much advice out there it can feel like you need to follow someone else’s path. While that may get you part of the way to where you want to get to unless you work out what it is that you want it’s going to harder to get all of the way there.

As you say, the way forward is to pick and choose and, dare I say it, even make it up for yourself if no one else’s clothes fit!

Average Americans accept the lie of keeping up with the Jones’. I think in the FIRE community we have the problem of trying to keep up/emulate our favorite bloggers, podcasters, etc.

That being said, I’ve personally grown by trying each new idea at least once to determine if it is for me or not. One thing that has resonated has been riding bikes. I now cycle to work and enjoy it.

It’s interesting to read about the extreme cases because it reveals what is possible. We can pick and choose from there in moderation 🙂

Love that you supported your friends’s art. Curious: what were your best selling venues for going minimalist?
