I'm not a minimalist for any moral reasons. I'm a minimalist because owning things stresses me out.

I could move to the other side of the world and carry all my belongings in a backpack. No storage, uhauls, etc. In fact, I have done it.

I could lose everything I own (apart from my laptop and phone) and it'd cost a few hundred bucks to replace. This happened when I got a horrible bedbug infestation in my backpack in Thailand. It was a bummer to have to start from scratch, but not really a big deal in the end.

Not sure what you're getting at with the tools comment. I have nothing that I would need tools to fix.
