Get a chest freezer. It's much more efficient for long-term storage than an upright fridge with a freezer because the cold air doesn't spill out when you open it.
Toss your incandescent and fluorescent lights. Get LED bulbs (not smart lights, just white LEDs). Where applicable, install timer switches.
Fuck cars, get a bike. A simple, sturdy one, like an onafiets. They run on toast and determination.
Understand the difference between having enough money to buy something and being able to afford something.

Maybe engage in some light tax evasion.
The efficiency trade off of a chest freezer is often broken by people’s inability to remember what’s in it. If you can’t reach the stuff at the bottom then it all goes bad. This is why an upright most likely makes more sense, even though it’s less efficient. You end up wasting as much food simply from forgetting what’s in there.
I consider not letting food go to waste as part of a poor person's ~~fiscal~~ financial responsibility.
Can I be pedantic? I'm going to go ahead: fiscal means tax-related, so probably just 'financial responsibility' is more what you're aiming for.
~~I don't know, can you?~~
TIL there's a difference, thanks
