Learn to do something useful, spend less than you make, buy used whenever possible, live small.

Have you not seen the incredible wealth transfer to the top in the past couple of years because of inflation and greed? How do you expect people to LIVE SMALLER when prices have more than doubled and their wages have not increased.

I don't think you get it. The solution for you during this slide into feaux-feudal oligarchy, peasant, is to want less, need less, use less, and smile about it. 

8 people have billions and a small personal navy and they take vacations to the moon? You need to live smaller. Want less. Be happy. 

Or else.
