People who play the game of escaping ego often sadly get trapped in a different kind of status game. Think of monks chasing ever great asceticism. Humanists chasing moral purity. Fashion evaders seeking indie brands, thrift stores or other enterprises with the lowest marketing spend.
It reminds me of the mathematician’s saying:
“When in doubt invert, always invert”
Not sure if that's the answer.
Probably the easiest way to do it is to try and live on as little money as possible, spending money on only things that can be logically justified. Of course you have to be honest with yourself, since self delusion in strong in humans.
I buy very simple clothes, no jewelry, the cheapest food, try not to own more than I need to and try to be rational about housing and a car.
It has the great benefit of not needing much money to live and the freedom that it brings. The rat race is a very real thing.
It doesn't really work if you have a family, or a certain kind of social life, but otherwise it's actually quite fun.
