I think for practical reasons it's a good idea to have some type of phone, whether it's home or mobile. Tbh I'm a bit of a minimalist, so I like trying to simplify my life and do without things I can do without! A few months ago I realised I didn't need a mobile phone anymore and I'm loving it; I'm not against mobiles, I don't mind if anyone else has one, it just struck me that I could do without. I will probably get a phone again sometime, just not in the foreseeable future.
As for luxuries such as electricity and Internet, that is most certainly what they are - luxuries, not necessities. I'm working on giving up my iPad and I try not to use the home computer too much. Eventually, when I move out of home I'd like to not have a computer at all. What works for some doesn't work for others, though. It all depends on your lifestyle.
Well, I don't have a home phone, couldn't afford it at this time. I guess you could say I'm an involuntary minimalist. Not too long ago, I didn't have running water. But I suppose the good thing about being a minimalist, or what might attract me to it, is it's having less stuff for others to steal or take away. The other side of it is I just can't pass up a good deal. I posted about the doll collection I started. Where I only got them because it seemed like a good deal, and I thought a hobby might be nice. Yesterday, I went to the flea market and alot of the sellers there was selling them as well. Even cheaper prices for nicer dolls than I got at that thrift store. Not being about to pass on a deal, I spent most of my money, and came home feeling like a slave to my hobby, or collection.
My cell phone has limited minutes added each month. I want my dad to be able to contact me on important things, you never know, and I sometimes list stuff on CL.
