Could you live a minimalist lifestyle?

Question

If you could live a more stress free life without the worry of having the desire for materialistic things, would you do it, or do you believe that would cause more stress? 
If I could get off the grid and build a small house on a vast acreage of land, grow my own veggies and were provided with just the basics of life and were surrounded by my family, life would be awesome. The stress of materialism and the working system I believe would be great for humanity if it was eliminated or maybe altered for a better cause.

Answer

This is exactly what my husband and I are working towards. We just bought an acre + lot and built our little house, last year. This year's the green house and garden beds!

Answer

My dad has taught me to live like this even though he makes a lot of money. This has taught me a great lesson on not being as materialistic as most of the world seems to be. I feel like this has done me a great deal. I have found that love is really what matters in the end...

Answer

I tell my husband all the time I want to live on like 10 acres of land in the middle of the woods he can hunt I will grow veggies and fruits and live in a little log home with our pups and I would be good. I prefer candle light to electricity (I have acute epilepsy and get migraines from artificial light and if its the energy efficient ones that flicker I have an episode)... I love nature haha

Answer

I consider myself a minimalist. I hate having more than I need. I hate having too many clothes, shoes, and just things. I hate clutter. I try to only buy what I need. I also don't like things that don't have a clear purpose such as little trinkets or decorations, things that just take up space.

Answer

I could never do that. Technology and the internet is very important in my life. Gaming is my biggest hobby, my boyfriend lives in another state so Skype is my main way of communicating with him, and I do a lot of digital art. I can understand why other people would like it, but that lifestyle is just not for me.

Answer

Give me a tree house in the middle of a far away forest anyday.

Answer

I grew up in a home without tv or updated technology because my parents thought it would be better for us to learn to be more hands on.   Technology upsets me.  To have to fight for conversation because of tv and cell phones is frusterating and stressful.

Answer

I think things need to go back to a barter system.

Answer

I lived like this for part of my childhood and although I can say it has made me a better person today there's no way in hell that I would choose that life over the life I have today.

Answer

I'm too much of a materialistic person to be a minimalist. I hate the outdoors ?
The hustle and bustle of a city makes me feel alive.
