There was an article that appeared on HN probably earlier this year about a guy who said he was a minimalist and only owned 15 things (apparently this included "toiletries" as one thing). If my clothes are one thing, then I basically own 3 things (MBA, clothes and cell phone) and it all fits in two suitcases which I take with me as I move about S. America. Having a second suitcase on Brazilian airlines means paying a pretty penny which usually equals the cost of the flight itself. It was only yesterday that I realized that it's possible what goes in that second suitcase is not worth the second suitcase fee. Keep in mind, I've already paid 300-400US in fees for it at this point with just 3 moves. Just because you are a minimalist doesn't mean you own the correct few items (correct for you). It's oddly easy to forget this.
