The problem that amount of money solves is having to trade your waking hours and obedience to bosses or clients in exchange for room and board.

  Is this meant as disagreement with my comment? To disagree with my comment, you'd have to argue that there is no alternative to getting hit with a big pile of money in order to deal with the problem of a bad job. Without even giving it much thought, I can list a few: change careers; get a better job; marry someone with a decent job, which will expand your employment options; start your own company; live a more frugal life and work fewer hours. The important thing to take away from the advice is that everything I've listed is a realistic solution but getting the big pile of money isn't.

    The problem isn't a bad job. The problem is having to have a job at all.

    I see the logic in your initial comment. But getting a big pile of money is as realistic as much of what you listed here. How is "Just marry someone wealthy" more realistic than getting a pile of money (not to mention that that suggestion is merely a roundabout way of getting access to a pile of money)? What if I'm already married? There are many reasons the other suggestions are virtually as out of reach for most wage slaves as getting helicopter money.

    > marry someone with a decent job You were so close. Marry rich is the answer.
