It still baffles me that having a NOT "smart" phone is more expensive by far than a "smart" phone.
De-googling (FOSSifying?) my digital life has been very costly, not in money but in time, effort, and loss of convenience. I make it work for me just fine, I just wish it was easier to bring my friends and family with me.
Do you have any recommendations on how to effectively do this now that you've gone through it?
there are many guides out there that are going to be a lot more organized than asking a random user.

etc.
It really depends on your usage (which products, for what, how much, etc) and your tolerance for spending time vs money vs inconvenience.
Thanks comrade
I endorse what Chronicon posted, those guides are good. YMMV but for me the turning point was switching to grapheneOS on mobile. I've still yet to completely detach from Google but I'm enjoying the process.
