1. I use physical cash everywhere. This allows me to get a better grasp on the value of money and have real human contact with a cashier.
2. I avoid buying online and shop mostly in brick-and-mortar stores. This might not seem convenient to a lot of people, but this is what everyone used to do. It supports the local economy; it's very grounding when you go to physical places and see real people. I tend to make fewer unnecessary purchases this way, and it feels good not to be dependent on shady mega-corporations.
3. I avoid using AI. I lived all my life perfectly fine without it. I just think it adds unnecessary complexity to your life. It's much better to do your own research online, go to the library, ask people with knowledge, etc. I also don't like how it's supposed to steal our jobs.
4. I got rid of all those digital subscriptions (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.). Who need this entertainment ?
5. I got back to reading physical books.
6. Cancelled my gym membership and just walk everywhere now. This keeps me fit and healthy, without the need to buy all sorts of fitness programs, coaching, supplements, etc.

If you do these things, your life will become much simpler.
