if we stop spending enough, inflation will come down. So don't stop living, but find ways to prosper. Learn new skill sets that contribute to your bottom line, from cooking and canning to DIY auto, home, and yard. Read. Tutor a young mind, you can guide a future. Learn a programming language. Take some online courses that are a bit techie, there's Linked-In Learning free in many public library websites, and some free and rigorous Google courses too. Play music, listen to your favorites, watch and read great liberal books and themes.

Most of all, know what makes you happy, and make time to appreciate that.
