I still choose to see it as a great thing to consider in our lives as a very happy practicing minimalist myself :)

There’s a fine line between genius and madman, and Elon Musk is constantly walking it.

I love every bit of this :)

We passed items down to younger members of our families forever. Time to pass the torch! Having nothing of real value means we’ll never have to buy insurance (medical costs are so cheap, many expats don’t bother with medical insurance). PS this is a bit morbid but funerals average $700 in Panama OR $300 for cremation so we don’t even need life insurance. Most expats rent furnished homes & don’t own cars either. Taxis average $1-$2 & buses are also quite cheap. Many just walk to the store & use a cart to haul groceries.

I think he’s trying to donate Mars to everyone, lol…

True true..

And remember Musk is still keeping *some* stuff, just not *all* stuff… Though i’m not sure only billionaires can pull this off as plenty of people in the minimalism/tiny home living space has def. done it on millions and billions less :) In fact, it’s actually CHEAPER to not own and buy stuff all the time! Though of course having $$$ as a cushion helps with making decisions faster without much consequences (financially-speaking). So maybe that’s how he’s able to make decisions like this easier than the common person?

I am curious about the whole kid/family stuff too…

That’s very Parent’y of you :)

We’re doing the same here despite it BEING REALLY HARD for all those reasons listed above and in 1/4 my posts I write about here! Haha… For people who love freedom we sure love having lots of kids around :)
