Freedom in Minimalism: Why Less Means More When I retired, I faced a big decision: should I stay in my spacious three-room apartment filled with memories and belongings, or should I embrace a simpler life? I chose the latter.

I sold my large apartment and moved into a small studio. And you know what? I haven’t regretted it for a single moment.

For years, I believed that having more space meant more comfort. But in reality, a big apartment comes with big responsibilities: higher utility bills, constant maintenance, endless cleaning, and too many things I didn’t really need. The more space I had, the more I felt tied down by it.

Now, everything is simple. No extra rooms gathering dust. No overflowing closets packed with forgotten items. Just the essentials—just what truly matters.

Life feels lighter. Cleaning takes minutes instead of hours. My utility costs have dropped significantly. And most importantly, I feel free. I no longer worry about maintaining a large living space. Instead, I have time and money for the things that truly bring joy: traveling, hobbies, and spending time with friends.

People often believe that bigger homes equal better living. But the truth is, real comfort isn’t about square footage—it’s about how you feel in your own space.

I chose minimalism, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
