This is partly why I walked away from the job world a dozen years ago. I live off grid in a yurt in the woods, have no vehicle, no health card, no running water, etc., but I'm happier than I was chasing my tail for 25 years. My lack of income means I pay zero income taxes, so I'm not giving them anything. I may crash and burn at some point, but it'll be on my terms.
I hope you can resist the pull toward that awful world.

Stop that! You are ordered to consume consume consume, how dare you live a simple life and be happy!
