Become financially independent
Right after I tell you I’m a minimalist I’m going to tell you about stuff I bought. But first I’m going to tell you I hate Garnet Hill.
Because I bought some sheets that showed up with cuts in them. So I contact customer service and they tell me they’ll issue an exchange but because the price of the sheets went up I’d have to pay the difference.

I’m sure you want to know my Restoration Hardware towels are 11 years old and were $60. I think they still look new.
