It is much easier (and environmentally friendly) if we choose to reduce consumption than to attempt to increase income

This gets easier when I stop thinking about other people think. Or stop impressing other people that don't really care about me. It's really freeing. I just buy 2nd hand clothes, handbags, I eat simple home cooked meals and only spend on things that bring me joy (I even buy 2nd hand books).

My goal right now is to get paid the same or more lol and do less work. In this way, I can live more and save more.
