That sounds great.

If you can keep your income low and lifestyle high; you benefit and don’t need to contribute to things like wars you don’t like.

Also, since insurance is now required, best to qualify for the free version.

Living below the poverty line with luxury is essentially the world that folks want to achieve with UBI and robotics / AI.

Perhaps it’s possible now.

It's only possible for them because of the population cap. Things would degenerate swiftly with a larger community.
