Our economic systems do not support that solution, and I'd bet my life on it this will never happen. In theory a lot of things are fine, reality is ugly, very ugly.

There are so many issues with this comment (I appreciate it though, wish we could have a full conversation about this). a) If you'd do some research you'd see that "100y ago" actually was often times better b) Getting off this planet? To where? Colonize Mars? To do what exactly? The category to that jeopardy answer is: Things that won't happen for 200

that's literally "ad hominem" & what kind of answer you want to hear now? a) yes I wish too b) lucky me ? in either case it doesn't provide any good points to a solution

Not in public, otherwise everybody will start doing it, more and more do already

Nonsense, you can comfortable and well live with <10k/y in Vienna, Prague and other big cities, in the countryside even less.

I am not even that frugal, I live reasonable, but I spend lot of money on sport equipment, obviously I am not driving a Maserati or live in a Villa with pool, but neither do I live like a monk or live in hostel dorms, my luxury is that a) I don't have to work b) if I work I do what I enjoy and as many hours as I wish (which is probably the best of it) c) I can go wherever I want whenever I want.

I live with 500-700Eur/month since multiple years and I live a life of luxury compared to most others (and with that I mean my friends from Western Europe) and that includes traveling. So that'd be about 25-30 years which I'd call enough for retirement. Don't forget: it's not like you'll never work again...honestly who wants to not work the next 30 years? there will always be some small jobs or part time projects which will produce some sort of income, even if not monetary

US numbers are funny, I could easily retire with 200k in most places of the world, including Europe. Gotta get me a US salary job I guess.
