For as long as I have been hearing people talk about living a minimalist style, I have never heard of anyone doing it and then regretting it because living a minimalist lifestyle will not just safe your from spending money unnecessarily but will also help you minimize the way you spend money on stuff. On the other hand, it will help you save cost in a better way. But to some people, saving costs is something bad because they feel that when you save costs, you are not willing to spend money, and they see this kind of person as being selfish.

There is a difference between being selfish and living a minimalist life. When you live a minimalist life, you will be able to see things from the angle of management, and you will be a good person to manage whatever you have, even if it is very small. You will be able to make good use of it and provide some tangible things out of it. Just like my mom does, and she thought so. She will always say that there is nothing too small. If you are able to live a minimalist lifestyle and then think broadly, then what you call little can bring out something productive and yield something good for you.

For some time now, there has been a scarcity of pepper, and we all know that this is one of the essential things every human will need and want to use. And judging from the environment in which I stay, there are a lot of fraudsters, which is why things are more expensive there, so I try so hard to live in that place. The cost of buying a cup of pepper ranges from just 100 naira to 500 naira and what they will sell for you at that price will not even be enough for what you need, so that means you will end up buying pepper for about 1 dollar just to eat in the morning alone.

I called my mom at home and complained about it to her because I knew she would surely have a plan for me to minimize the way I spend money on pepper. After calling her, she suggested that I buy dry pepper instead and soak it in hot water, even the dry tomato, and grind it to produce the normal Pepper I would have bought for 1 dollar. Then I followed her instructions and tried it. Lo and behold, I got the results I wanted, and this makes me even more interested in buying pepper to cook my meals.

Whenever I have discussions with my friends, both male and female, and they complain about the same thing, I just tell them what remedy I have been using and have been saving me much money, and then they are so surprised at how a guy's like me will be able to come up with such a minimalist plan and they as a lady can't do it. Ever since then, they respected me more as a guy, and whatever I say concerning minimizing cost, they take to it because they know it's a sure way for them to save their cost on whatever they spend on.

Thanks For Reading.
