On the meta level, the simplest thing that could possibly work is usually paying someone else to do it.
Alas, you do not have infinite money. But you can earn money by becoming this person for other people.
The catch 22 is most people aren't going to hire the guy who bills himself as the guy who does the simplest thing that could possibly work. It turns out the complexities actually are often there for good reason. It's much more valuable to pay someone who has the ability to trade simplicity off for other desirable things.
