How does that work when you don't live with your parents?

Rents are extremely expensive and would slow down the "build a safety net" part of the cycle.

I am a fan of the Travis McGee novels by John D. MacDonald. Introduced to them in childhood and still worth a re-read.

Travis was a 'salvage consultant' who would rob loot back from criminals, and then retire for as long as the money lasted.
