A quality meme starts with a good idea and a little effort. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Say more.
Teaching yourself horticulture, buying a plot of land, renting the equipment to clear your living space and dig to install a septic tank, and either building or buying a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds and the returns are for life, and your descendents'.
Most people think it's too hard to do, but this life is less difficult for me than modern city/suburb life. It's more natural to what the human experience is supposed to be. Free of slavery/perpetual debt. And I used to work 12hr days of hard labour, yet still paycheck to paycheck, never advancing in life, deeply miserable.
Hunting, fishing, trapping, and foraging are easily taught invaluable skills that should be first-hand knowledge.
It really all depends on what a person truly wants out of their life.
Edit: bonus, you can always sell your goods at markets for extra cash if you need it.
Cool, got those numbers? Plus I want time investment required as well. You talk big, son.
"Lower your standards", got it.
With respect, I'm not going to argue with someone who doesn't want that life, but the numbers are leagues higher to live depending on purchasing everything, especially superficial purchases, and most people can't even afford a home within that system anymore, so they are forced to find other means of survival at this point.
You do you, so long as you're happy!
I must add that focusing your energy towards working for yourself is infinitely rewarding. All that time spent is time I enjoy.
You aren't going to argue because 50k isn't remotely close to achieving what you are talking about and you know it.
5-10 acres for 10k, tiny home budget 20k, about 5 grand to rent clearing equipment. But hey, I'm sure you've done extensive research and know 50k is more than comfortable already.
You can do this flat broke and pop a tent wherever you want on crown land for free. Some people are just trying to survive while others can afford extra comforts.
