    That's so pretty!!

    Our cats are definitely minimalists. They seem to be happy hanging out just about anywhere. One of them's favorite thing is to sit on a square shopping bag. Even if it's just sitting in the middle of the floor.

    My favorite part of the video was her description of the kitchen "We absolutely love it." ... "It has running water, which is very different from the van!" Only a true minimalist would consider running water in the kitchen optional.

    Thanks for posting, Ultralight. One thing I noticed is the lack of paper clutter, the bane of existence for us older folks. I'm wondering if their parents are keeping any boxes or file drawers of things like diplomas, birth certificates, school papers, tax returns, etc.

    And as has been noted, kids can easily increase the amount of possessions 10-fold. Will be interesting to check in with this couple in a few years to see if any kids or pets are in the household, and what it might look like then.

    But I'm very admiring of their lifestyle and it definitely seems to be working for them.

    I thought the video said that they had some stuff at their parents but I could be remembering it wrong. I have really been throwing out the paper clutter that I have. Came across a folder of college and work awards so looked at it one last time and threw it away.
