Is there a term for what I’m doing/thinking? Downsizing?

Minimalism. Would be what I’d call it.

I love the minimalist lifestyle and use my money to invest towards FIRE or to live the easy life when traveling

I call it minimalism. Nothing wrong with that OP.

Traveling light as a bachelor, men dont need much. We all want that. Minimalism might be the term you seek.

Liquidating assets. Yes, I've done that. Especially for things I don't really need or use anymore. Money can be used for a lot of things but most possessions have a fixed purpose.

Downshifting

You live with your parents yes?

Decluttering perhaps?

No problem with your actions. I quit the corporate world and started working as an independent contractor. Now I travel the US in a 30' RV and pickup.

Simple living.

Minimalism is great but not for everyone, it depends what you are after. I grew up living a lavish lifestyle, I lived with very rich people, I went to tons of nice restaurants, visited tons of nice places and wonderful countries and cities, none of that would have been possible if my father had been a minimalist. If you are a minimalist, you will only be able to afford to travel to third world countries, first world countries will be too expensive, you will not be able to go out much either.

I have huge ambitions, I want to go back to college, major in electrical engineering, build my career then start a business when I get a good business idea. My ultimate goal is to become a multi millionaire, I plan to achieve this through investing lots of money.

The smart way to manage your finances is to buy only what you need to be happy, and then you save the rest, you invest a huge chunk of it on the stock market while still keeping enough for a rainy day. The more money you make, the more you can invest, and the more profit you can have. That is why it is important to raise the value of your time through a good career, because the more your time is worth, the more money you make in exchange for it. And the more money you have, the more freedom you have to do what you want to do in life, we only live this life once, so we must make the most of it. I know many guys who are about to inherit a fortune from their rich parents in the coming years and since they arent aware of mgtow, they will most likely lose most of it through marriage. Meanwhile, I will be building my own fortune from scratch and then I will be keeping it to myself by staying a bachelor for life, as I age, my fortune will grow bigger and bigger. That is what mgtow says when they say that men age like wine, our finances have the potential to grow by an insane amount if we focus on our career in our early years and avoid women and avoid wasting money on things we dont need. Through the mgtow lifestyle and smart spending, many of us living in first world countries can become very rich as long as we are willing to work hard.
