you mean they had property and were relatively self-sufficient, and also had a family.

>There are quite a few factors stopping the average person from those things and a lot of things they want to do.

I mean, that's just reality though. Sure, a billionaire's child would be able to hop from job to job, but it's doubtful they would excel at any of them. Jobs are all about who you know and how hard you are willing to work to get there.

For example, I graduated with a BA in lit and was facing two job prospects: either be an insurance salesman for Geico or travel across the country to Virginia to join a shady bootcamp with a 50% chance of passing and finding a job. I did the latter and even though it was hell, it was far better than the alternative for me.

Now that I'm situated in a better position in life, I can start to build the lifestyle I actually want. I'm moving to a single apartment downtown where I'll be able to cook/build whatever I want, but I'll also be able to walk to the cafe whenever I want and do some writing.

If you really really want to be a farmer, I'm sure there's some path you can take to eventually get there. Even though it will suck in the beginning, I'm sure you can actually make it if you are willing to put in the hours. You just have to be willing to make the necessary sacrifices to get there.

What the fuck? Have you studied ANY history? Peasants were the opposite of self-sufficient. They were basically slaves. Lords would kill them if they refused to work and nobility would rape their wives and they couldn't do anything about it.

Any book that has a cuss word in the title is bad. Every single time.
