Kind of emblematic of our Generation Rent. If you're never going to own property, there's no reason to accumulate stuff that will burden your next move... Having so few clothes isn't a good idea, because it's not a full washer load. You're doing more laundry than you need to, and you don't have an alternative if you get them ripped or dirty. It makes more sense to have 10 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. If you can afford it, fine wool and synthetic fabrics are more durable, quick drying and travel friendly than cotton. I (somewhat nomadic; 3 continent moves so far) don't practise any kind of conscious minimalism, but here's my rule: if I haven't used it in a year, out it goes. That means I've thrown out or sold some nice things, but I don't accumulate crap. It also means I'm more careful about buying in the first place. I don't own books; that's what pdfs are for. Travel minimalism is another thing. If you spend lots of time traveling you also learn to pack for one single carry-on bag. I recommend turning sets of clothes and underwear into neat little one-day burritos: https://huckberry.com/journal/posts/how-to-skivvy-roll https://huckberry.com/journal/posts/how-to-skivvy-roll
