I wouldn't describe myself as a minimalist but over the past couple years I have become more of a neccessitist. I sold a business, sold a property and moved out of the city. Went from 3 cars (2 cars and a work van) to 1. I only go places or do things I deem necessary now. Since I am semi-retired I only take on work/projects that I want to do. I don't give a shit about vacations, if we are going away we will go to see my wife's family in texas and stay for a month or 2. I don't go to restaurants often, maybe a few times a year. I don't buy things unless I need them or really desire them and I try to buy the most affordable versions possible when I do. I have reduced my monthly expenses by around 3k a month since leaving the city and divesting of a property and car. This affords me the ability to only have to work part time to live a comfortable life and spend more time with my kids.
