Always ask questions _very_ good point.
But remember what you earn in easy living you give up in time. Less time with family
Less time with friends
Less time overall
So living with the bare necessities frees you from something very important
Being a slave to the doller.
This is not about suffering
But about making money work _for_ you.
Living responsibly.
It’s not really about difficulty cuz all your needs will be met. You just will become _above_ the whole money thing. You will start to feel that _you_ control the money. Not that your lifestyle controls you.
Bare minimum living is like a muscle. You become stronger. Withstand things better
Become more responsible.
It’s not really “poverty” it’s just living with only exactly what you need.
If I buy shampoo for 1 doller instead of 7. Now I have more money for food.
If I buy simple foods I have more money for rent
If I cover my rent I have more _freedom_
