Not sure if this is good advice. by joining the gamble, you’re (micro-)fueling the global suicide machine that’s causing all this. Someone has to earn the money that you make, and it’s usually either by destruction, exploitation or scamming.
I try to break free from all this stuff by downsizing. Second hand clothes, Repair Café, holidays at youth hostels like 40 km from my home, meeting/making local friends and very important: raising your kids to not be spoiled, entitled, materialistic cunts. That’s the power of No, thank you.
It’s so calming to switch to a lower gear and find happiness in baking a cake from handpicked apples than another TV and holiday in Asia.
