Everyone wishes at some point that they could live their life like an action movie. But as ex-military nomad vigilante Jack Reacher proves in JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK, not everyone gets the off-the-grid lifestyle with all the 007 perks. Though maybe taking the law into your own hands is probably not the best idea, take your life one step closer to the action-packed lifestyle of Jack Reacher by taking a page from his book.

Make the best of what you got.

If Reacher tells you to hang up the phone... Hang up the phone.

For Jack, this might mean only having a telephone as a weapon and still kicking some major butt. For you, that means taking that single chicken breast, some EasyMac and stick of celery from your kitchen and somehow still making a cohesive meal for dinner. It may be slim pickings, but you still figure it out.

Reuse old clothes or borrow from friends.

We're glad Reacher is on our side. See the hard hitting action in theaters 10/21.

Reacher finds a use for his old military uniforms (or he simply “borrowed” them from someone, if you know what I mean), so you have a use for that old denim jacket you’ve had since middle school. Granted he’s breaking into a military base using that uniform, but you can “break” the mold by wearing clothes you haven’t worn in a while and passing them off as vintage

Don’t order takeout too much, and if you do, just get the bare minimum.

Ready or not, here he comes. #JackReacherMovie

Jack Reacher is the guy the waitress at the diner didn't count on because she's gonna get a bad tip from a guy who just orders coffee. Do you know how much a cup of coffee costs? Maybe two bucks. I’m not saying the way to be a badass is saving your money, but I’m not not saying that.

Take initiative.

Man of action. #JackReacherMovie

Reacher lives by the motto, “Act, Don’t React.” If you want something to happen, don’t wait for other people to make that happen for you.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK is in theaters and IMAX nationwide on October 21^st.
