Wikipedia : Simple Living

Simple living encompasses a number of different voluntary practices to simplify one's lifestyle.

• These may include reducing one's possessions, generally referred to as Minimalism, or increasing self-sufficiency, for example.
• Simple living may be characterized by individuals being satisfied with what they have rather than want.^[1][2]
• Although asceticism generally promotes living simply and refraining from luxury and indulgence, not all proponents of simple living are ascetics.^[3]
• Simple living is distinct from those living in forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice.

 

Mahatma Gandhi spinning yarn in 1942. Gandhi believed in a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency.

• Adherents may choose simple living for a variety of personal reasons, such as spirituality, health, increase in quality time for family and friends, work–life balance, personal taste, frugality, or reducing stress.
• Simple living can also be a reaction to materialism and conspicuous consumption. 
• Some cite socio-political goals aligned with the anti-consumerist or anti-war movements, including conservation, degrowth, social justice, ethnic diversity and tax resistance.^[4]
