Think about it!  The Ultimate Frugal Jedi Minimalist was Yoda!

Yoda

Yoda was so good with money that not only was his thumb green, his entire body was green (as far as I know).

And as for Yoda being a minimalist (I’m not ragging on his size), he lived in a swamp using candles as lights!  You don’t get more minimalist than that my friends!

He had a cane, but I don’t remember him having his own car (or spaceship)…?

And as for his clothes…  If he did buy them new, the store must have been called “Rags R Us”.  I mean geez, the towels that I use to wash my car look better than the ones Yoda would wear…  Plus, I don’t really recall much of a variety in his wardrobe either.

And as for his shoes…  Yoda didn’t even have shoes!  Now that’s frugal!

Let’s talk about Housing now!  First, check out the model of his house in the picture below:

Yoda’s House

This house wasn’t very big huh!  I would guess that it’s the size of a six man tent.  I’m willing to bet that it was an abandoned house or a house that Yoda built himself.  This means that the costs to purchase or build the home would be incredible cheap!  It’s obvious that Yoda didn’t have any running water or any other type of utility either.

So in conclusion, Yoda was the first modern minimalist.

If you made it this far, thank for reading my silly spill about Yoda.  And now for my favorite quote from Yoda: “Do or Do not, there is no try”!

May the force be with you!
