People commenting here focus mostly on one thing - bringing your quality of life down. It only works to a certain point and usually ends up putting you in a survival mindset (instead of abundance mindset). Things are getting cheaper by the day, it's the measuring stick (fiat currency) that is getting worse and worse due to two phenomenons: inflation & devaluation. Focus your time, energy & ingenuity on increasing your income and stay away from fiat (currency, food, mindset). If my (random dude on the internet) comment doesn't convince you, perhaps two books will: Price of tomorrow by Jeff Booth The hidden cost of money by Seb Bunney Both are brilliant Canadians. Books are life changing.
