The recycleables which are in your possession should be figured in as part of your net worth. Goods and services which have prices that are dis-proportionate to their costs need to be adjusted downward. Examples of this are clothing and accessories which are marked up tremendously due to name brand only or celebrity endorsements. A life of leisure will be enjoyable for celebrities as well. Professional athletes are getting paid way too much.
Consumers can help to readjust our economy by spending money wisely.
If a product or service is over-priced, then don't buy it. This is one of the ideological adjustments we need to make. We should all consider our personal time to be very valuable. We should take advantage of all the spare time we have for our own use. If an employer is going to intrude on our personal time, they should be required to pay handsomly for it.
