Merged threads: Distill your crap/any minimalist on board?

[GodOfOrder]

Not by means of effort or necessity, I have realized I only need/use a few thing that I own, and can keep my list of things well under ten. Perhaps it is the simple external world of the INTP that allows this, I do not know.

Anyways, how much of your crap do you actually use, and how much of it can you not live without? (this is of course excluding things like food/water/power)

Spoiler

I need/ use
1.Laptop; internet, and all other implied or otherwise associated, things mostly immaterial
2.Violin; sheet music, rosin, and all other implied or otherwise associated things
3.Books
4.Bed
5.Desk
6.Armchair
7. Car

Things like my TV and xbox collect dust. Thus cable, and other services seem like a waste of money, and I may cancel them in the near future; not for want of money but just because of disuse. Most other various and sundry items seem of forgotten importance, and could be lost without a tear, or perhaps even a thought.

Sadly I went through a growing up phase where I dispensed with my Legos. I do regret that decision.

Any Minimalists/Simplists on board?

Not looking for arguments over philosophy or culture lel, just curious.

No set definition for minimalist or whatever, open to interpretation.

I like having as little as possible, a car to me is simply a method of transportation or getting around from point A to point B. I don't really care about clothes too much, if I could i'd wear a white tshirt and jeans, eh maybe sweatpants, every day of my life. I'm really not into fancy stuff, foods, toys, whatever. I just like going places. When I get out of living here, I just want to live in a one-two room apartment/house forever and just travel.

I like my life to be uncluttered and simplified. What about you?

Spoiler

lol typologically speaking, you could chalk it up to lack of Se in functional stack, and the simplicity of Si, but whatever, doesn't really need discussion

It's also something I love about ISJs and ITPs, so damn simple, specifically the Si doms and the ISTP, so down to earth.

Also, I don't really care if you aren't minimalist, or you enjoy stuff, that's cool too. just not meh style

Arghh, I'm trying to decide how much Lego(it's plural already) I should save from my parents place, now that they are moving. I haven't had access to it or used it in years...
You need a fairly large amount of it in order to make interesting things. I think I'll just keep a selection of it for spaceship design purposes.
Takes up too much space though.


Otherwise my craps include:
-Computer and accessories(external monitor, midi controllers, drawing tablet, etc)
-Books(mostly art books, need to get rid of some)
-Art supplies(I only use about 10% of these regularly)
-Bikes
-Clothes
-Spork
-Sleeping bag
-Backpack and a couple other bags
- ...
