Letting Go of Consumerism

"Escaping the 9-to-5 rat race starts with the idea that the rat race isn’t as important as we once believed — that the dream of working long hours to make money to buy huge homes and cars and lots of luxury items … is just not what we want. 

That’s what minimalism is: embracing the idea that we don’t need all that stuff, that if we let go of consumerism we can also let go of working long hours and being so incredibly busy that we don’t have time for what’s really important."
