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、擁有越少=越少跟鄰居攀比的壓力。
當人們知道你是個簡約主義者的時候,他們就不會在意你是否擁有最新的,最酷的玩物或者其他象征地位的物品。事實上,他們根本不在意你擁有的任何東西。(實際上,我很樂意看到鄰居變成簡約主義者,那么這種競爭性的非消費就有結果了)
