People I know who make much more than 100K are very aggressively saving.

Buy Nothing Project is a huge draw. It is surprising how nice the items are that are swapped. It cuts down on the amount of things bought, and those that are trashed.

It is counter cultural and I think, goes deeper than just saving. The movement to buy less is also a very doable rejection of the current system. It is not a Save the Planet moment as much as it is a screw the billionaires and the horses (politicians) they rode in on.
