My partner can fall asleep at any time of day. I'm jealous. I'd spend a lot more time unconscious if I had the option.

There's a great poem about this.
A man walked through his life with his Lord by his side. When he died, he looked back and saw that during the saddest and most troublesome parts of his life, he would only see 1 set of footprints, instead of 2. He asked the Lord "why did you leave me when i needed you most?" to which the Lord responded "it was then, that i carried you".
I think this expresses how besides our emotional side, there is also a much more enduring side inside us that takes over our consciousness when we need it most, so we only see the parts of life that we enjoy.

You got a house? 😭
One of my hobbies is making and drinking cocktails. I'm spending kind of a lot on it and I have a bit of an issue with actually storing all the bottles I buy (see: housing is expensive), but if I was drinking even half of those cocktails in bars I'd be spending several times as much. Drinks in bars are expensive, proper cocktails even moreso, and if you want ingredients that are better than bottom-tier ...
While it may sound ridiculous, I actually think there is some healthy outcomes of practicing minimalist lifestyles. Gives me a peace of mind and avoids having to spend so much time on 'managing my things'.
Although I don't know if I can go full on 100% minimalism... I do like to do things 🙂
