How might you put this into practice? Here are a few things I’ve done repeatedly for 3 to 14 days at a time to simulate losing all my money: ► Sleeping in a sleeping bag, whether on my living room floor or outside ► Wearing cheap white shirts and a single pair of jeans for the entire 3 to 14 days ► Using CouchSurfing.com or a similar service to live in hosts’ homes for free, even if in your own city ► Eating only A) instant oatmeal and/or B) rice and beans ► Drinking only water and cheap instant coffee or tea ► Cooking everything using a Kelly Kettle. This is a camping device that can generate heat from nearly anything found in your backyard or on a roadside (e.g., twigs, leaves, paper) ► Fasting, consuming nothing but water and perhaps coconut oil or powdered MCT oil (see here for more on fasting) ► Accessing the Internet only at libraries
