Thanks to all who are reading this. I'm a long time-lurker who has been trying to understand the different views this subreddit has. As someone who was raised in a pretty conservative, Christian household, a lot of the ideas on here are extremely different than anything I've come into contact with. I've found it enlightening and thought-provoking to read a lot of the posts on here, so thanks!
Getting down to the meat of my post, though, is that I like everyone else, would prefer to do as little work as possible. As a US resident, one of the most likely ways to be able to do that with where I am in life is to maybe get a few investment properties, do some house-hacking, and get to a point where I can stop working because of a comfortable income stream from a handful of properties.
However, a lot of people on here seem to espouse the idea that guaranteed habitation/ownership of a home is a right and a lot seem to think it should be free as well. With that in mind, if I want to pursue being a landlord with a handful of properties so that I might achieve the “no-work” lifestyle that many want, is it actually a stark denial of the “anti-work” community? How exactly could I ever expect in our current world order, to do no work but make enough money for my basic needs? Aside from a full-out military rebellion that results in a restructuring more dramatic than the Bolshevik Revolution of 1918
