Consider the following.
The best, most painless way you can live, is becoming a degenerate hikkomori loser. Anything more is a failure. You will wageslave away for the rest of your life, having just enough money to survive so you can work another day. Any form of work that isn't treated as a hobby is tying you down to itself. Any money you can "earn" is always only enough to sustain that same way you earn it. That goes for all social classes, races and genders. The only way you could live free for the rest of your life, is if you somehow acquired a large amount of money, enough to sustain you until you die. At least 500,000 $. If you ever manage to acquire that money, you have to hope that no big political or economical change happens, lest that money is rendered useless. And even then, you will have to live as a recluse and an outcast, for the only safe lifestyle you can maintain is that of the basement dweller.
The only possible form of freedom today is between 4 walls in front of a glowing piece of glass.
