You don't need to wait, you can start this now on your own. Is it easy? F*ck no. Can it be done? Yes, and once you are used to it, it's a great way to live.

Hell yes it's a great way to live.

If we implement government policies that incentivize simple living, and tax wasteful living exponentially, it's going to benefit individuals.

Wealthy people will be better off from having most of their wealth taxed because they'll have a more enjoyable simple lifestyle.

For real. It's the same with food.

Not that I eat healthy... Because I'm practically underweight so I'll generally eat anything. But after eating organic for awhile in the past I definitely favor fresh healthy over junk food. Regular Americanized food just tastes fake to me.

Same with my room/home... It's so much easier when you only have less to take care of.
