Prepping for work, commuting, spending 8 hours there, commuting back... It takes so much time and energy. You're left with a few hours outside of that to really do anything.
For $100 you can buy a decent tent, another $100 for winter jacket, and for $200 you can get a used phone to scroll on all day.
You would need some odd jobs to get food money, but buying and maintaining those supplies is nothing. There's free wifi, public outlets, and endless free entertainment or study material.
Mooch off food banks, steal some toiletries, and you don't need to spend much time on those temporary cash gigs either.
The first week would be uncomfortable, but you could move your tent around to find a comfortable private spot. You would have all the time in the world to focus on other problems that pop up.
What am I missing? Why doesn't every drop out of capitalist society and live on easy street?
