some people who believe a minimalist lifestyle can help people safe more money believe that the cheaper your pleasure and lower your spending the more money you safe and even become richer. Does this principle apply to every situation in life or is it a make-belief? what is your opinion about spending less on pleasures to become richer.

Why does a person want to become wealthy? The answer is to enjoy more of what they desire! So why save in the first place? I can enjoy myself without depriving myself, unless I want to purchase something extremely expensive.

Hmm, I understand your saying, you mean one should focus more on the needs and not the wants.

I think it is important to enjoy life while you’re living it. Putting off things that give you joy in an effort to be rich some day is just chasing something that might never happen.
Obviously, it is important not to live a lavish lifestyle with fun hobbies if you don’t have the money, but I know that’s not what you are talking about here.

You made a wise statement there. Life is too short not to enjoy one's little possessions.

I agree. Saving money can help you buildup more money. My situation is that I don't have the money to spend but I still spend on things I could save my money on. And the result is debt!! I should sacrifice more and live in my means.
