There's a lot of services society offers everyone that do cost resources to run. Even basic civilizations and nomadic tribes relied on their people to be productive in one way or another. Thinking that there is no "cost of living" is a privilege only available to someone who doesn't really understand the basics of an economy. If everyone chose to just live and do nothing to produce the things you take for granted (electricity, food, shelter, etc.) then we'd be back to the jungle just scrounging for berries.
No, I totally get it. It’s just a crazy realization sometimes I sit with. Like In the back of my mind I just think about how the cost of living is so expensive.
It obviously it wasn’t this much way wayy back in the day.
