Extreme Minimalist Living with NO FURNITURE & Very Few Possessions – 10 Year Journey

Alicia is an extreme minimalist living in San Diego, California. Over the past 10 years she has gone through many phases of decluttering and this is the simplest she's ever lived. She is furniture-free, so there is furniture in her apartment (no couch, no bed frame). Just a futon mattress on the floor and a folding chair on her balcony. She also has a minimalist wardrobe, all of her photos and documents have been digitized, and she lives without a TV, computer or wifi (she does have a cell phone).

It allows her to spend more time practicing slow living, with time spent in nature, meditating, and listening to music. By reducing her shopping and bills, minimalism has allowed Alicia to pay off her student loans, pay off her car, and set some money aside so that she has financial stability. This lifestyle isn't for everyone, but Alicia has clearly put in a lot of time and thought into her decisions over the course of many years. And as she says in the video, this is not about deprivation or suffering. It's about finding the right balance, which is a personal journey for everyone. If she feels uncomfortable or misses something she has gotten rid of, she will welcome it back into her life.
