It’s no secret that we live in a world obsessed with “more.” But, as Benjamin Franklin said, “Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure when he is really selling himself to it.”
However, minimalism offers a refreshing approach to personal finance. Despite the misconception, this isn’t about deprivation or hardship. Rather, it’s about aligning your finances with your values and finding freedom in simplicity.
By using this approach, you will be able to:
- Save more money. You can invest in your future with more left over by cutting unnecessary expenses.
- Reduce stress. The less clutter in your finances, the less mental strain you’ll experience. As a result, you’ll feel more in control of your finances.
- Increase time and freedom. When you don’t have to earn money for unnecessary things, you have more time and energy to pursue your passions.
