Less debt.

Move in the direction of less debt in your personal life. This means ALL debt. Dont give me all that nonsense about how your mortgage on that McMansion is somehow good debt. Its not. There is no such thing as good debt in this system. In a solid asset-based monetary system that is a different story entirely but we are not in that.

So when I say no debt I mean it. No credit cards, no car loan, no home mortgage, NO DEBT. Someone who is doing this for the first time may simply sell some shit they have lying about to decrease their debt load, then target their smallest balance first and pay it off. Stuff like that. If you have a 25 year runway on your mortgage then you need to get out of that house to accomplish this goal. Sorry to say it but that is the case. No excuses there.

I suppose a good way to live without much debt would be to rent an place or buy it out-right, use only cash and a debit card, and to buy a cheap used car from a third-party dealer?

Work with others to make it happen. Yes... It will require a dramatically lower standard of living. It is not something that can be done easily or in a short timeframe, especially if you are older and have a family or not rich as fuck already.
