I’ll suggest you look up “Hell’s Angels” by Hunter Thompson.
There’s a section where he writes about the economics of being a hippie/biker/artist circa 1970. In those days a part time job could support this pair, and an ambitious person could get a good union job and save up enough in six months to live like that for two years.

Yeah but that was over 50 years ago, that’s like trying to be an actual cowboy today.
The world has completely changed and made that way of life untenable unless you’re extremely privileged.
I thought it was obvious that I was talking about the wealth gap.
Sorry that wasn’t obvious to me. To me it read more focused on historical accounts than current economics but I do see your point now.
