While I think it’s very important to have less stuff, there’s a big difference between “doesn’t cost money” and stealing.

Practically any book is available free at libraries, music and movies on YouTube, and free movies with library services like Kanopy.
Illegal sharing, whether it’s wrong or right, isn’t the same thing as stealing (since nothing is taken), or selling someone else’s work.

Libby is a good public library app. For reading and audiobooks as well.
After essentials, I use money to buy time from having to work. I spend as little as possible. No electronics, clothing, etc. unless it must be replaced. I’m still using a 2013 MacBook Pro I got at a previous job. I only own two pairs of shorts, a few T-shirts, and a pair of flip flops. No video game console, smart speakers, microwave, Apple TV, or whatever.
My free time is spent on things that mostly don’t cost money. E-books are free, so are TV, movies, and music as they are easily pirated. I don’t spend money on games, as there are thousands of old games available for free using emulators.
Walking is free, biking is free, gardening and many sports can be free, spending time with friends and loved ones is free.
