I like those things, but proper traveling needs money

Not nearly enough for my lifestyle. But my salary is well into 6 figures and also a fairly easy job that I can do from home. So it's a no brainer.

I do get the appeal of what you are saying but wouldn't work for me.

Do you hitchhike around or something, hard to travel far without some money.

Sounds dope. Must be nice. Iunno, doesn't sound like having a 40/wk is worth it/necessary for you. It is for most of us. >_>

If you can survive without working you are living the dream.

Land Lords are basically people that have everything figured out. Little work, large returns. Get a 8-plex and you can do nothing but collect rent!

Your family is extremely wealthy. Most people can't do or wouldn't be seen as socially acceptable.

For someone like me to do that and not feel like shit about life, I would probably have to move to somewhere like the Netherlands. Apparently the government pays for housing for immigrants there, since their birthrate is so low. If you claim refugee status, you don't have to work either. I would realistically need a civil war to break out in the uS for that. Europe is also known for having government paid universities and healthcare. It honestly sounds like a great place if you want to try starting your life over.
