I feel like the best option in these cases is gathering money and then when ready, spend that to buy a good quality house in a developing country with cheap house prices and live like a king.
Otherwise I don't see how you can win in this free-for-all game in the US. And lets not even start talking about how a simple health problem can make you go bankrupt lol
Last year I marked myself as exempt and stopped paying taxes, I figured by the time those extra 80000 IRS agents Biden hired caught up to it either I will no longer be in US or already inside a concentration camp, basically not a difference that will make a difference.
I intermittent fast (autophagy) and dont get sick, at most I nebulize some nanosilver, dont need insurance and dont go see doctor.
I dont save anything for 401k, retirement, because I know that it wont be there for me and secondly I prefer to frontload life, and dont care to live to 85 or even past 65 like most people do.
Also I live with my parents and their house has long since been paid off
