How much less though? Would you still be ok than less than the bare minimum to survive? How about at the bare minimum to survive? How long should we be put at that level?

I ask because most suffering today is caused by decisions made by people in power, not natural cycles.

A reasonable amount less. A small home, using public transit or specifically choosing a more fuel efficient vehicle, cooking instead of eating out constantly… I’m not saying we should be having less than necessary to survive, and wages are too low, but also good financial decision making goes a long way and learning to tighten your belt makes you more self reliant

I can agree with that. As long as we aren’t unnecessarily sucking the humanity out of things, I’m good with it.

Oh absolutely no sucking humanity out of things. More is learning to live within our collective means and learning to make that enjoyable and beautiful. And that includes making sure even affordable housing is clean, sufficient, and provides access to green spaces and the opportunity to garden.
