@sunchild777 The ultra-rich and the unemployed ultra-poor both have the asset of having a lot of time on their hands to organize. If you are ultra-poor I guess the problem then becomes that you barely get by and probably have a very small place, so you have even more extreme problems getting everything minimalist. Anyone can make a 4000 square foot home look empty with a lot of work and planning. Making an 800 square foot apartment look empty might be tougher.
I guess Christ managed to do minimalism. There are people who manage to live out of a backpack. It can be done.
P.S., Judging by lack of responses on this story, I think we are the only minimalist wannabees on SW. Everyone else is busy maxing out their charge cards.
