A LOT of kids finishing school would be quite content getting cheap housing, eating junk, and playing video games or hanging out all day every day. The longer they do, the less incentive to be productive.
I wouldn't "do nothing", but before meeting my wife I was on track to reducing my expenses to near zero with intention of "going off the grid" with vanishingly little interaction with & contribution to society.
BTW, a suitable gun is about US$500 - a lot cheaper than paying people enough to not hurt you.
A weapon for self defense as a last resort is fine, but I'd also want a good social net as well. The problem with self-reliance for security is that eventually, you must sleep.
