I got used to living minimally when I was a student and while I'm more financially secure now, I actually enjoy not owning a lot of junk/treats/knickknacks. Obviously that doesn't mean it's fine for people to be poor; the difference is I'm not on the verge of homelessness and under-purchasing out of fear, I'm more economically stable and living more minimally by choice without that fear. Connecting more with nature is a big part of it.
