2. You've largely described how my wife and I have lived our whole lives

We rarely eat out - we love to cook. We grow a lot of our own food. Most of what we wear is thrift shop. I have a 2002 Tacoma with 130K miles on it that will probably last as long as I can drive (I am 69, and take good care of it). We don't like to buy stuff - we have what we need for the most part.

We get our joy from books, watching good series and movies, time in the hammock, our pets, our hobbies. We seem happier than nearly everyone we know (and most of them can't spend fast enough)
