I quit the office job and now I do music. I'm surviving on a tiny fraction of my old income, but I'm much happier.

I’m hoping that we make the guillotine great again but in the meantime I have some animals, I made friends with my local murder of crows and a garden

Library has better entertainment than the stuff I pay for, so I've got that going for me.

Get good at things.

The vast majority of our economy is an economy of convenience, taking money in exchange for doing the little things we don't want to. The thing is, most of us have never stopped to check if we actually don't want to do those things. Meanwhile, all the benefits of doing those things are being reaped for profits by assholes.

Get out there and get good at something, then find other people that are good at things, and help each other out.

I hope people will stop consumering. I hope they will start filling up green spaces again. Go for walks, talk to the people thy run into. Hopefully kids will go run around outside again.

I have been very poor, homeless, middle class and everything in between. As long as you can get a job (and here, you can always get a job of some sort) all things are possible as long as you can stuff enough wage earners into your household.

I like roller coasters and Busch Gardens usually does a buy one ticket, come back all year thing, there's a bus that comes from near me to near there. So that's some cheap fun (I don't buy anything there, don't stay all day, go early, ride, leave before big crowds)

Have gotten pretty good at gardening so if there's a yard there is some fresh food.

Lots of roommates, built in network.

Library books. Free concerts downtown. Whatever free events.

Enjoying the life we have is a luxury most people in history never got and it was anomalous that we got to witness the end of that era at all.

Now it is time to buckle up for the reversion.

what i currently do now? continuously lower my expectations and try to be grateful for what i have

it sounds bitter lol but honestly it's made me a more content, less materialistic person

I won't travel. I'll probably keep my Internet addiction. Maybe I'll grow my hair out again?

Hanging out with friends and pooling our resources to have a good time.

I've been spending my free time (more often, insomnious nights) reading and watching how to build and manage a kitchen garden. While I don't have a community garden near by, I do have space for a few planters to help offset some groceries or improve my diet.

I enjoy making things, whether in wood, metal, or printed plastic. So, I'm able to cut a lot of extraneous spending by just making what I need/want. It's a hobby of its own, so I get enjoyment from it.

Pretty much, if I want or need something, I'll learn how to make it myself. Recycle as much as possible. Scrap supplies often get turned into makeshift tools if nothing else. The solarpunk communities tend to be great resources on how to thrive with so little in this regard.

As to actually enjoying life? I found happiness joining art communities (specifically in VR) where creators share what they do best! There are very many lovely individuals with a lot of talent and these communities have been nearly all positive. It also builds a lot of inspiration to make stuff, too; feeding back into my own hobbies.

I'm saving a little but also just buying what I want if I can. Not worth hoarding money thats going to be worthless in a few years.

Survive...idk. Being a prepper hoarder isnt worth the stress. I'll just be a nomad and eat trash if it comes to that

Pinball, but I'm to broke to afford a real table so pinball fx it is. Sometimes fishing. And as much sex with wife I can

Try to survive as long as possible and enjoy simple things.

Scientific Socialism, thats how.
