Going without isn’t hard when you observe yourself being shitty about consumer goods.
Once you get the perspective of yourself buying crappy plastic junk or food you don’t need or what a landfill looks and smells like you may begin the process of buying less.
If you’re poor you are really stuck without a life boat.
If you’re middle class it hurts more.
If you’re wealthy it hurts more because you realize things = status.
But in reality if you are not part of the 0.01% you are actually living month to month anyway so who am I kidding, shits not changing lol
