New Trend: Minimalistic Living

A few miles away is a typical suburban area - fairly well to do. The houses are in the high 6 to low 7 figures, luxury cars, boats etc. etc.

What do most of these people do in the afternoon and on weekends? Work on their lawns, do minor maintenance on their houses, put in new kitchens, wash their vehicles etc. I have seen people spend hours power-washing their driveway. Every house has an alarm system, some have video cameras. (Still one house with video was still broken into this week.)

The more things you have, the more you have to worry about and the more time it takes to keep them in shape. Soon your possessions are 'owning' you (and your time).

Do you really want to spend 3 hours washing a Ferrari and 30 minutes driving it around?
