I would suggest voluntary simplicity. It's a movement based on reducing all non-essential ownership and consumption. I moved into an RV and live on family property rent free. I have only small utility bills. I realize this is no solution for most, but downsizing everything is a start.

Next, men need to embrace the fluidity of gender roles and start learning to cook and think about efficient methods of cleaning and other chores. Eat potatoes, beans, rice, corn and peanut butter. Stop buying and eating all processed foods and begin to use staple items like the one listed above. The food is much better for you and less expensive. Avoid all chemical drinks like soda or other beverages that come in cans or plastic and go back to filtered water, tea and coffee - organic if you can find it. Make your own beer. Scan the internet for clearance sales on clothing. I have a big wardrobe of designer labels that I got 70% off. Stop buying DVD's and just burn shows off the DVR. Just a few ideas.
