We all have to decide how to use our time and money, just like choosing toys to play with or deciding what to eat.
Sometimes we choose to buy lots of toys, but then we might not have enough time to play with them all.
If we choose to play with just a few toys, we have more time to do other things we love, like reading or playing with friends.
Being a minimalist is like choosing what's most important to us, so we can have more time for the things we really enjoy.
