I've seen a bunch of these type articles lately.
But it's an illusion at best. Everything comes at a cost - it's just that these people aren't paying - somebody else is.
Others are paying the property taxes that pay for the schools, police and fire dept. People are paying utility bills so that there is an infrastructure to have a society. People pay for groceries so that their is a sustainable agriculture industry. I could go on.
You can sit back and scavenge for a living. Yes, you aren't using YOUR money - but you are using somebody else's. I see no pride in it. I see it as giving up.
