Nice, I'm glad if my comment was of any help.

Hehe, I'm not sure if I'm a minimalist or not, since I'm not familiar with the term. But I've seen some people mentioning it when reducing the amount of stuff and items they own. So that makes me think that maybe in this context minimalism refers to something like living with a minimal / reduced set of material belongings. If that, then yes - it more or less describes my behaviour, although I'm not consciously following an -ism, it is more like a practical consequence of wanting to lead a low-budget life. When one doesn't have a lot of excess money to spend, it becomes more important to consider buying long-lasting durable goods etc.
