ADVICE

Choose A Purposeful, Lean Salary

  • Set a deliberately low salary to increase freedom and donate more of your resources to impact causes.
  • Build a sustainable budget by minimizing recurring big costs and using upfront effort to find cheap, high-quality options.
ADVICE

  • Use a recurring grocery order and repeat staples to cut decision friction and save time and money.
  • Invest up front to test brands and recipes so your weekly shopping becomes a low-effort default.
INSIGHT

  • People accept analytical decision-making for consumer purchases but resist it for social and moral choices.
  • That inconsistency reflects discomfort quantifying values and leads to unequal rigor across life domains.
