I encourage people to do more and consume less, but reading 1st is a great idea. Let the capitalists overproduce. Only buy things that help you live your life, not things to escape life (it’s okay to treat yourself every now and then not everything is absolute, you need rest time.)
You are more capable than the capitalist wants you to believe. Don’t let them sell you false hope.
Can confirm, the one thing to porky’s credit is rich people are some of the most dedicated savings nerds you’ll ever find…hence why income inequality is bad. Google marginal propensity to consume.
The single act of rebellion I am doing now, and hope to carry over when I’m back on my feet is not buy a lot of stuff. Did it with my clothing, I got myself a minimalist wardrobe of good quality stuff to buy once, cry once.
If you have any thrift stores nearby, check out things secondhand especially if they’re vintage items.
If you must go online, Uniqlo does its best to marry quality and price, and its a good “general purpose” clothing store. Also, avoid repeating wearing the same shoe on consecutive days. It needs time to recover and dry out so the sole doesn’t get destroyed too early.

Also buying shoes with actual welts that can be resoled is a good idea.
Patagonia products are great quality, last, and it’s one of the few good corporations around
