I can literally retire that way at any moment I decided to.
And I'm not even 30 yet. I'm that privileged.
I can very much be a urban hermit through my dad's inheritance, my sister's remittance and a wall of relatives keeping everyone else out of it to never bother me.
And, if I want a full blown off the grid style; I got like a piece of land that I have a rights to have a piece of it through my mom's side.
It's literally hectares of land used in farming, on one end was moutains and woods I can very much just be there alone.
If I so chose to be in a communal style living with practically no possessions -- I already knew few villages in my mind to go to.
This includes said parts of land from my mom's side; with literally a village full of my mom's maternal relatives.
... Heck, I can just go to a church, declare myself a calling to be a nun.
I can just literally do that and likely just succeed.
The only reason why I hadn't because they're all life altering major life decisions.
Main factor would be not leaving my mom alone or not making my dad worry.
In my culture, there's a designated caretaker, usually the elder daughter or underemployed/unemployed relatives -- they take care of children, the elderly or anyone disabled enough to be dependent on daily living task.
... And I volunteered a looong time ago. It's practically the best thing I can offer as an elder daughter who cannot make herself into a breadwinner.
I can very much declare myself to be a voluntary caregiver to my relatives and be dependent on their household, be a 24/7 nanny.
Only option I couldn't consider well is to be a vagabond. It sounded fun, but realistically likely not doable for me.
... But really.
I have countless options for living super poor, whether alone, dependent, off grid, etc.
