I think people tend to equate minimalism (i.e. only having things that bring value to your life) with living in a smaller home. Of course you could like in a larger space without owning tons of stuff, people just have a bad habit of buying way more things than actually use and the extra space allows for that.

Personally, I went from owned a multiple bedroom condo with fair amount to things to only the things that would fit in a Subaru crosstrek. Following our weedding, my wife and I spent three months touring the country rock climbing. Frankly, the living conditions we're awful! It was cold and wet and crowded and traveling in the fall you are left with the dilemma what do you do when the sun goes down and you are literately sleeping in a space smaller than most coffins and you have to move all your stuff to the front seats in order to lay down in the back. However, it afforded us the privilege of visiting every state West of the Mississippi and the Canadian Rockies. I was an amazing trip that I wouldn't trade the world for! (side note: spending literally every moment with someone for 3 months strait in a very confined living space while constantly dealing with every day problems neither of you have encountered before is a really great way to break in a relationship) That said we now live in a 650 sq/ft apartment and life is a lot more comfortable.

That or just break it.
