5. Less stuff = less pressure to keep up with the Joneses.
When people know you’re a minimalist, they don’t expect you to have the latest and greatest toys and status symbols. In fact, they don’t expect you to have anything at all. (Actually, I’d love to see the Joneses become minimalist, and the competitive non-consumption that results.)
5、拥有越少=越少跟邻居攀比的压力。
当人们知道你是个简约主义者的时候,他们就不会在意你是否拥有最新的,最酷的玩物或者其他象征地位的物品。事实上,他们根本不在意你拥有的任何东西。(实际上,我很乐意看到邻居变成简约主义者,那么这种竞争性的非消费就有结果了)
