I am the complete opposite!
I don't even know how it would be possible to "live simple"
If you live in the country, you cant rent, you need to own a home.
If you own a home you need basic tools....
Does "living simple" leave less of an impact on the earth? I think it must be more of a "mental cleansing" thing.
If you rent it really doesn't cut down on material items. Someone still needs to own tools and such to maintain that property.
Maybe I am way of track. But unless you live off the land, how can you only have a few boxes worth of items?
I hope this post makes me sound only uneducated on the subject and not just plain dumb.
