  But you never have to pay for utilities, rent, taxes for schools or roads or services … obviously it wouldn’t be completely free.

    Ok, but if your plan is to live solo forever and not interact with society, you’d basically need to pay for it upfront. That means you need a lot of money all at once, otherwise you’ll still need income, which limits the ability you have to be separate from society.

      Yes, that would need to be the plan. One upfront payment then never paying for utilities or other things forever. That’s the only way this works.

      I think this is madness, but that’s how you do this.

        Right, and you get why this is impossible for most people? That was my original point. Most people, even if they want to do this, can’t. It’s unaffordable.

        The point is that your suggestion that someone is free to do this is just very much not the case.

      It’s almost as if we all rely on each other to exist. If only there was a word for that.
