basically you are not allowed to just live somewhere and live off the land. every place is owned by somebody. Even if you own your own farm you pay property taxes and stuff.
To escape the hamster wheel you just have to be rich and live off of interest. Or be a landlord.
In all honesty, its prolly not possible for most of us. But if you have or want children, you can set them up to have a better life than you. Educate them financially, die before you spend more money than you make. Hope they dont spend it all on coke and iphones.
