I don't know man but that sounds more like homeless than minimalist.

I am not a fan of spending either but at least i have everything needed for a basic and normal lifestyle.

No TV, nor furniture and internet. Are you sure you are living?

lol sounds like you're trying to equate "broke" with "minimalist." No furniture or TV? What do you sleep on? Sounds disgusting.

if you think about it for a sec, you don't need too many furniture, if you don't have too many stuff to store

a chair or something you can sit on and a table where you eat & work, maybe a shelf/hangers to store your few clothes, the bed can be a mattress or a pallet + mattress, which is not just practical, but it also looks cool , TV is definitely not needed at all, i don't have one since ages, when i did, it was only for playing video games

I am not a minimalist, but it is a quality I admire and would like to imbibe. OP, I am impressed with your ability to sustain without an Internet connection, but I don't see how that works. Having coffee or eating out every single day must certainly be more expensive than paying for an Internet connection.

Minimalism is all about understanding the priorities and realizing what matters the most. How do we lead a less complicated life and focus on things that really matter? It involves taking the 'less strings attached,' 'burden free' path in life.

I wish I could have the minimalist mentality, but every time I try and save a buck theres someone with there hand out trying to take it from me. Going to be making some big life changes in the next couple of months that hopefully will get me to the point of a minimalist mentality.
