You’re an admirable man. Yet, I still have to ask you: don’t you think we need people to repair our A/Cs and potholes, sell movie theater tickets, serve our meals at restaurants, check us out at the grocery store, show us how to set up the tent at REI, put out our fires and jail our thieves, teach our kids, clean the bathrooms at the airport? Can all these jobs go exclusively to people under age 23, those who don’t expect to be married or own a home? Under the scenario you describe, police officers, teachers, book keepers, librarians, should be those who are in 2nd jobs, or providing their families part time income, or under house buying age. Not a realistic economic model….in other words, we need people to do all those jobs. Maybe people in those jobs should be content as renters and living a poverty level life style. Not everyone is entitled to everything.

I used to think $250K was a good salary, until I read about the thousands of people in New York who make over $200 million. $500 million is change for a hedge fund manager. That’s a whole different league. I bet they look down on people like us. So we shouldn’t look down on the $30K /year worker either, right?
