The title has nothing to do with the two separate questions–tsk, and I was hoping you were going to ask about feeding two birds with a bagel...or was it a scone?

It's absolutely unclear what single question (which is all it should be) you're trying to ask here. You've asked two questions—and the title you used is additionally confusing. (What do two birds have to do with anything?)

mkennedy Sir, I believe this site is a great medium for research. And for the second question, my research findings are not satisfactory. That's why I posted it here. The questions though, have been edited for clarity. Thank you very much.

To answer what I assume is the main question, A person who lives their life as simple as possible utilizing the bare minimum to survive upon is most likely an Ascetic.
Similar to monks, Ascetics practice a form of abstinence from indulgences, meaning that they don't have any kind of luxuries in their lives to indulge themselves upon outside of their chosen way of life.
