I already feel burdened by electronic gadgets, so there's little hope in me caring about having a car or yacht. I'm not exactly a minimalist, but I have discovered that the "experiences not possessions" news trope does apply well to me. It helped that I started thinking about all things in terms of planning a design(what I'm doing and how) before buying anything. Besides making better decisions, it stops a lot of impulse buys. Usually the act of making the design tells me what I need to know, and possible alternatives. And the real bottleneck is often a skill I need to learn, not anything to do with money.
