Approaching the topic of money with a higher level of thinking
The cars, homes, tech gadgets, fashion, luxury services, and even the extravagant experiences are memorable, fun, and easy to invest our money in, but the true purpose of money is to create enough freedom in our lives to focus on our purpose, take care of our loved ones, and give back to society in whatever way touches our heart (which often comes through our purpose).
Minimalism Keeps Things In Perspective
I consider myself a hybrid minimalist because I definitely have stuff in my home, and my residence is not entirely bare. However, to the average person, I probably have very little, and this is because I learned very early in life that things and materials never can bring happiness.

What is the best way to build wealth? Through generosity. Every step I took to increase my income, my generosity increased. Always. Was it always easy and convenient? No. Giving is not supposed to be convenient, but the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Better to learn to give when you have less than when you have more.
