I don't think of it as a personal sacrifice. I longer have the blood of innocents on my conscience. Also: I now own most of my own time, which is my highest value. Low consumption living isn't the sacrifice I thought it would be when I started.

To each their own.

Then they weren't really protesting anything. Just living normally.

Also, for me the sacrifice would not be low consumption living but rather riding around in an RV singing folk songs. Sounds like torture. As you say, to each their own. I actually really enjoy what I do for a living.
