+1. Find ways to produce what you need.  If you need an item, and the

+2. Acquire what you need by trading with your network instead of with the

+3. Do without.  This one is simple enough - but the goal is abundance,
+   not austerity.  Material conditions will determine our actions,
+   and many goods are worthless.  Be stingy by default.
