Yes, this is a valid choice. Live amongst your family and friends and everything you cherish, or become a survivalist and abandon all human connection.
You edited to add a lot of projection to your post. I am literally complaining about rent and bills in the city I grew up in and have been living in for 35 years. I have very few extravagances and am typing to you on a 5 year old phone with a small crack along the edge of the screen. You make it sound like I should sell one of my yachts and shut the fuck up. In truth I’m about to lose my contract job at the end of next month and am unsure how quickly I can find another.
And if you made 3million a year you’d make the same complaint. Are you angry you have to eat food and sleep too?
The issue is your personal offense that life requires money. You’re welcome to go become Amish if you want. But I don’t think you’ll make that choice.
Just like it was your choice to do contract work rather than find full time employment. I was in that situation myself once, I choose full time employment with an ‘undesirable’ company and it turned into a great career. People give me shit all the time about my job not being ‘real’ but I’ll take the fat benefits and the good pay over a ‘brand name’ job with shitty contracting gigs. The fact you even have investments means you are in the top of the economy strata.
Only person rescuing from your situation is yourself. The revolution isn’t coming to rescue from capitalism.
