Apr 21, 2021 at 15:50 | comment | added | A. Kvåle | The options provided in Benjamin Harman's answer are a bit unfit due to their connotations implying discipline being involved (not sure if non-materialistic has those connotations), but I think they may be the best you have. If you were to find a word that doesn't have connotations of discipline, it'd probably be a very obscure word, which diminishes its descriptiveness. You might be better off picking the most connotatively neutral word (which is think is non-materialistic), and supplementing with naturally, by nature, or something along those lines. | |

Apr 21, 2021 at 7:49 | comment | added | Stuart F | frugal or thrifty emphasis lack of extravagance or worldly possessions, but may not fit if you mean someone who'll spend as much as it costs to get something that works but not go beyond that. Unmaterialistic is probably the most directly relevant word, but a bit dreary. | |
