We the people can simply buy a little bit less shit, and be just fine.

In a free country founded on abundance and prosperity, it's only human nature to acquire and get accustomed to excess. Excess food, excess things, excess everything.

I've found that by cutting back on the amounts of certain foods, buying every item possible only when it's sold as BOGO - buy one, get one free - and reducing consumption of some non-essential things that had gotten excessive, we aren't living a miserable existence or even noticing the inflation debacle. (We both work at home too, so that helps a LOT, with the gas prices being artificially inflated in order to deliberately hurt everyday people.)

Vacations is a big one. Travel is now not only unnecessary and highly over-rated; it is OVER, since one very obviously can no longer safely travel—especially outside the US.

(We are both permanently freeface and freeblood; and not interested in ever being indefinitely imprisoned with no rights in some cramped, sweaty cruise-ship cabin with a malfunctioning toilet or in a nightmarish foreign gulag, thanks anyway—our dogs would miss us too much.)

No longer spending on travel, and associated expenses like clothes and entertainment while on vacation, saves thou$and$ per year. Pays for a lot of dog food!

We trimmed the fat and are doing fine. Probably we aren't alone.
