Can I live with only 100 things?

(note: this is an update to my earlier post, Is Extreem Minimalism Realistic)

For a while now I have been interested in the concept of a minimalist lifestyle but seeing features on people like +Andrew Hyde, living with only 15 things have really got me thinking, what is the least amount of stuff I need?

100 seemed like a nice round number, and its probably more realistic than 15! To kick this all off I’ve started a Personal Inventory, but soon realised I have way more than 100 things. Of course it really depends on what you define as ‘things’ so some ground rules are required:

It doesn’t include anything that has no re-sale value eg underwear. There is a large degree of common sense -

“The “rule” of ownership is the express-lane checkout rule. If you were checking out in a grocery store, what would be counted as one item in your bag? A six-pack of beer would be one, right? I count my things as resellable items I would be pissed if someone took.
Coffee cup? No. Jacket? Yes. iPhone and headphones? One thing. Simple enough?”

- Andrew Hyde (Extreme Minimalism)

For simplicity sake I’m going to stick to this rule and try not to be too anal about it. If your interested in following the progress I’ll be tagging future posts with #lessthan100 or #minimalism for wider articles.
