Yes.
The original impetus was a situation when I was a teenager, but it still applies.
Minimalism generally saves money. The arguments against this, are cases of downsizing so far that the person lacks an object that they actually need, so they have to buy or rent one (especially if it is on short notice and/or overpriced).
Minimalism saves time. This applies to physically dealing with your pile of possessions, and also to working for the money involved.
Minimalism enables me to comfortably live in small, lower-cost apartments or rooms. This not only saves money, but increases the number of options, giving the ability to move to a high-cost city in the future (as I have done in the past). Or it could be smaller scale things, like prioritising location for a short commute, or living in a lower-crime area.
Minimalism enables me to relocate with relatively low hassle, cost, and time required. This applies to my relatively frequent local moves, and also to a number of long distance moves. It is critically important, because mobility increases your available choices and opportunities, and broadens your horizons in terms of life experience.
Finally, minimalism makes it easier to be physically and mentally organised. This means less daily stress and worry.
