Downsizing Up: How Struggling Through Inflation Can Train You to Build Wealth Like the Greats

You don’t need more money—you need less waste, fewer payments, and zero financial illusions. Downsizing Up is your no-BS field manual for surviving inflation, escaping consumer traps, and building real wealth with discipline, not income.
This is not a book about budgeting apps or guilt-tripping you over lattes. This is about clarity. Control. And killing the habits that are keeping you broke while pretending to make you happy.
Written for the broke, tired, overleveraged reader who’s sick of feeling behind, Downsizing Up strips down the process of reclaiming your financial life—starting with cutting costs ruthlessly, living lean by design, and finally investing with purpose. You’ll learn how to rethink housing, eliminate lifestyle creep, kill car payments, and rewire your identity from consumer to builder.
If you’re expecting sympathy, look elsewhere. But if you’re ready to fight back against an economy designed to keep you poor, this book hands you the playbook. And it does more than help you survive. It teaches you how to use the struggle as training for a future where you don’t just break even—you get ahead.
Downsize your expenses. Upsize your power. This is your escape plan.
