I agree with your mentality but shy away from your EXTREME-ness .. I wholeheartedly empathize that there is no point doing something you don't want to do in order to wake up the next day and do something you don't want to do.
If I were in SF i might be jaded enough to believe that "the maths just don't work out!" but where I live, i've been able to pay off my mortgage in about 2.5 years. I'm putting up solar panels so that i can reduce my monthly obligations to basically just a food co-op membership.
These aren't EXTREME or irresponsible, but they are easy, and get me closer to freedom than paying rent because it takes less planning or sleeping in the cold.
