Wikipedia:  "Simple living (or voluntary simplicity) is a lifestyle in which individuals consciously choose to minimize the pursuit of wealth and consumption. Adherents choose simple living for a variety of reasons, including spirituality, health, stress reduction, conservation, social justice or to reject consumerism, while others choose to live more simply for reasons of personal taste or personal economy."
