Very shortly.
Other things;
NEVER buy from Amazon, go product vendor direct
Do not invest in the SP500, instead invest in the Russell 2000 small cap index.
Buy used cars not new.
Do not patron corporate restaurants, private only.
Do not buy processed foods, from the likes of companies like Nabisco, Kraft, Kellogs.... make your own products
Bank with regional/smaller banks or credit unions
This is a good list. Some things I haven’t thought of. I think I will implement.
My high school senior needs a new cell phone; his broke. Wonder how fast the Gab one will be ready?
All good! Way to go!
Exclude Amazon from web searches, e.g.:
12 gauge elastic stock carrier -site:amazon.com
Works on DuckDuck and Gooogle (not that you would use Google)
No

Awesome. This list should be randonly inserted into FR threads, like the Freepathon banners.
Any advice for someone looking to switch their investments out of Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan?
Dropped Facebook, Netflix, Mozilla, G search and dropping Amazon very soon.
Have my own $5/month website, primarily for my email.
Got a good Stacker antenna w/preamp & rotor years ago.
My car buys have been 3 yr old, 30k cars for decades.
Make a lot of my own foods (bread, pizzas, kimchi, lard, canned goods, frozen veggies) already.
Switching from big bank to local bank very soon.
Think I’ll start mailing letters and send more (home-made) cards.
Might even go back to a landline with an answering machine for personal, and after retirement my cell will just be a cheapie in a can, for a travel emergency.
While all your suggestions are good ones, I like this one the best, as I’ve been doing that all along:
“NEVER buy from Amazon, go product vendor direct”
