Degrowth

Hello I'm thinking about how I can do the cool things my friends are doing (largely cosplay) withoutspendingg large amounts of limited resources on things I don't need. Like cosplay for me largely feels like it's about buying the right clothes and props, when there's probably more to it than having and wearing a costume that fits. Maybe I should try to socialize with tailors and makers instead of just sitting at home staring at my beautiful hoard of supplies?Like degrowth I want to interpret it as gaining skills while decreasing resource usage.
