I was accidental semi-minimalist for most of my twenties. I didn't follow any philosophy or even knew about minimalist movement at that time. It was just my natural state. Main things I owned were a laptop, books, TV, PS3, DSLR, TV stand, coffee table, sofa, and a mattress. Space was not an issue for the most part as I lived in Dallas Texas. Even cheapest apartments are huge. In my early 20s, I lived with roommates but later I lived by myself in a huge loft style apartment. Having less stuff is really freeing. It was easy for me to travel, change apartments, let friends stay at my place etc. I had to get creative when I needed something for only a little while. For example, I bought various lenses for my DSLR that I rarely used. So I sold most of them and then in future, I would buy a used lens off Craig's List and then re-sell it after I was done with it. Most of my hobbies didn't involve a lot of tools. Photography, videography, video games, books, painting, running, and of course, programming. Now as a married man with a house, it is really hard to avoid collecting things. I used to sell anything that I didn't use often. I have so many things at home at I rarely touch like guitars, exercise equipment, different kitchen utensils. And to be honest, we are not hoarders, in fact, we still own less stuff than most people we know. It has been 4 years of homeownership and I am still not used to owning so many things. A lot of this clutter actually really bothers me. Many times I go to the kitchen to cook something but cannot find the right pan that I just give up and eat frozen dinner. So I have to say if you are naturally inclined to be minimalist than it would be great for you otherwise you may miss things or feel empty.
