I like low to no drama. Exotic cars are drama queens. So are big houses with 4 AC units, pools, tax assessments, etc. etc. Just saying that a lot of people who can afford whatever they want are looking to minimize drama -- hence, minimalist lifestyle.

It's not that I mind paying out the money, I just hate that I have to do those things.<br />
<br />
Same is happening to me in my business. I'm streamlining stuff, not to save money, but to save time. A side effect is that it does save money.

Wells said by MJ and Biophase.<br />
<br />
My sentiments exactly. I like the way Biophase said, it - I don't want to come home with a ton of shit to do.<br />
<br />
I prefer coming home, unpacking then settling down to relax. Not sift through mail, deal with the pool guy, the overdue bills, etc.<br />
<br />
I get zero mail. Zero. None. Nada. What few bills I get come via email and many are autopay. My apartment has a mailbox, but I don't even remember the last time I opened the box.<br />
<br />
I don't deal with car maintenance, insurance, repairs etc. I am leaving today for a 10 day trip to Italy. I will taxi to the airport. When I get to Rome I will rent the car. Money => car. No worries about repairs, maintenance, tires, etc. <br />
<br />
It's not that I can't afford a car. I have just structured my life to make it unnecessary. When I need one, I rent it. It has been 9 months since I have rented a car. Clearly I don't need it very often.<br />

Great point here too. I'm doing the same thing. Time is our most valuable resource so I am streamlining my business as well as my life to have as much available time as possible not spent on frivolous matters.</div>
