I don't feel as if I've given up much. I don't use public transit because it's cheaper, but because it makes more sense. And who wants the stress of driving if it can be avoided. I am going to move into a cheaper place, not because it's cheaper, but because it will give me more opportunity to produce my needs. I don't need new clothes, I need to learn how to make my own. I don't need to eat out, I need to tend to my garden better. I don't need the pub, I need to throw more parties. It's all perspective. Simplifying your life should be simple.
I know the current mainstream lifestyle is not sustainable and I choose not to feed into it. I am lucky to live where I do as we've been protected for the most part. But we know it won't last forever. We need to choose to make these changes before it is forced upon us in a most unpleasant manner. But we also need to help our fellow man in adapting if we want to weather the storm. If you can't work with your neighbors and community to build a better life, what kind of life are you trying to build?
What cutbacks have you made?
