Why I’ve always hated the minimalism movement.

Poor people don’t have clutter because they’re too dumb to see the virtue of living simply; they have it to reduce risk.

When you are poor, you can’t throw away anything as you never know when you’ll need it again. It’s almost certain you won’t be able to afford it when the time comes, so it’s much safer to keep it all around.

Not being poor anymore, I throw away things I almost certainly will need again in the future just because I don’t want to keep them around for a few months or a year when I’ll need it again.

Not an option if you’re barely making rent.
