Assume you rented a house for $2,000 a month. You own the home and it is completely paid off. You also live in another house that is also paid off. Would you quit your job (most likely a higher salary and benefits) to enjoy life and never work again for some money to survive? I would assume a very frugal life.

    Hell no. The housing taxes alone in my area are going to be like $7-8k for the two houses, average health insurance for a single person was about $8k in 2021, and average spend on food each year was about $9k. That’s already overbudget and we haven’t even figured in income tax yet, let alone utilities, repairs, and any other expenses.
