A review of a documentary that walks through the Minimalist movement as a path to improve personal and financial wellness:


This article gives an overview into a man’s life who found happiness by abandoning what was once considered the American dream. It lays out his argument by saying the status symbol of stuff only feeds financial stress and mental illness. If this Minimalist movement were enacted at Huntington, how would it employ such thinking without imposing it onto customers? If less external clutter does lead to more internal freedom, how do we give people clarity in their choices while almost maintaining their freewill for the clutter they choose?

I believe what I can take from this is the value objects bring, whether it is positive or negative. Perhaps the goal then is to get customers to recognize this value within their own spending habits, that way they can put their money towards what they really desire. It is the experiences we seek, which banks can highlight by connecting the lasting impact of a purchase to both the physical product and the associated cost.
