    Instead of making more money, I hustle to spend less. Ride my bike instead of drive or take transit. Cook at home instead of eat out. Get clothes and furniture from the local Buy Nothing exchange group. Compost my scraps and grow produce in the garden.

      The reverse-hustle! Love it, great way to get to the same end goal all while being good to yourself and the planet.

      I do this too. I have not owned a car since 2019 or so. I bike or walk everywhere in town. I’m lucky enough to be near an airport and a train station. Totally get that many don’t have such an option, but cars (+insurance) are sooooo expensive. It’s hard to realize until you stop having one.
