I love this post! I can related to all 10 of the reasons but the one that sticks out the most is what we will leave behind when we are gone. Over the Christmas break I helped our elderly neighbour get his house ready to sell. He was moving into a long-term care and could only take so much with him. The process was overwhelmingly sad to watch most of his possessions (and there was a two-storey house full of them) go to the thrift store or the dump. Having less for my child to deal with when I am gone is a major motivator for me to continue towards a minimalistic lifestyle.
Loved this! For me it’s environmental concerns, plus the fact that visual clutter stresses me out. And also the “more stuff, more time to maintain it/organize it” reason!

Great post and really interesting. I tick the box for all those reasons xx
