Minimalist Lifestyle Can Lead to American Dream

Leaving no stone unturned as the quest for the American Dream continues, we’re finding people taking alternative paths whilst on that same to journey.

Think of what your life would be like, if you weren’t saddled with so much junk. When taking an honest inventory of our lives, many will find those lives filled with a lot of junk they just don’t need. If one can be convinced that less is not only more, but better, one might find more freedom than they’ve ever experienced. Those open to a minimalist perspective on life might find the American Dream starring them in the face.

With no mortgages, high car and credit card payments, school loans, and or any other consumer related debt traps, etc., life would be a lot less stressful. You might not have to work so hard. You might have a few extra discretionary dollars at the end of the month. People who are disciplined enough to understand the difference between a need and a want will likely live an infinitely freer life.

Imagine a life free of keeping up with the Jones’ by slaving to the latest fashions or drooling over the hottest must have status symbol. By next season, most of that stuff is just junk anyway. Much of that junk has been stuffed in closets, hidden in attics, misplaced in garages and for the hoarders amongst us, stored in storage facilities.

Although junk it may be, a lot of it is expensive junk that still has to be paid for. Since much of that junk was bought on credit and may never be fully paid off, it will consume the best years of one’s life, working hard to do just that. That’s not a dream, that’s a nightmare.

Considering freer people are generally happier people and happier people are generally healthier people, one could argue, people who chose the minimalist lifestyle could be closer to attaining and maintaining the American Dream than anyone. Since freedom is a primary tenet of the American Dream, living a life saddled with junk and the debt that junk generated will only make that Dream all the more illusive.

Bottom line: While nobody is advocating you move into a box and live under a bridge for a simpler and stress free life, the wisest amongst us have figured out, cutting down on the bells and whistles in your life will give you more freedom and disposable income to enjoy that life.
