Philosophy professor once wrote *A Philosophy for Lowbrows*. Not sure if this approaches describing a frugal-living sort of philosophy.

Can read an online version at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89094579349&view=1up&seq=39

What I find interesting is how "selves" are described. On pg. 39 he talks about different selves as bodily, play loving, fun loving, social, beauty loving, truth loving, and goodness loving. Thinks some conflict with others, some are more important to others, but all are in play.

Needs are a function of what other people have.
