I'm somewhat minimalist now. I did indeed go vegan/vegetarian first, and then move on to minimalism after that, maybe not immediately after. Not sure how much connection there is, if any.


I was never into excessive consumption but I reached a point in my life when instead of the amount of physical possessions I own steadily increasing they now decrease slowly over time. My belief is that you should only buy something that you really, really want or need.


I've also found that if you cut down the things you buy, presents people give you can cover most of what you need.
