Sounds like you have not been lazy, until now. We'd all like to be independently wealthy and not have to work, that's just not likely unless you are born into the right family.
You have some options. Scrape up enough cash to buy some property, and live off the grid, making your own shelter, growing your own produce and hunting for meat. You could also try to convince your wife to make enough to support both of you so you can read and visit people, write and meditate.
My advice would be to forget it and earn your living like the rest of us, and make sure you put away a decent retirement so that as soon as possible you can get to where you want to be. Retirement does seem wasted on the elderly, it would be nice if we could retire at 30, then go back to work at 50, but no one is offering that yet.
find a rich wife while youre at it. oh you might have to pleasure her - it's part of the guy's JOB
what your 'degree'?

What are you talking about? I work...I mean, it's either that or the streets. But that's not the issue.
I don't give a crap about money and I resent being forced to. Pieces of metal and sheets of paper that I can't make, yet that I need to live? That's garbage. I don't accept.
My focus right now is on finding a wife.
Why doesn't the world just let me live my life and trust I'll contribute to it in my own way? Instead, why does it want to make me hungry, cold, and destitute if I don't do as it wants me to? Who is making those rules? And what makes him think he gets to?
Someone may die because of this. Me. Or someone.
This is a thinly veiled threat, OP. I recommend that you get some counseling.
Out of curiosity, what would your contributions be to those who provide food, clothing and shelter?
There are people out there that have chosen jobs that they like 'enough' or love, be it actors, musicians, doctors/nurses, (yes, hours can be grueling) but they say that they love their jobs because of the satisfaction it gives them. That could be saving lives, making people smile and/or laugh, or other self-fullfilling reasons. Not to say that there won't be some tough moments, or longer periods of time that you may find difficult to deal with but maybe there will be more days that you enjoy because it's something that interests you.
You said you would rather "meditate" than work. I encourage you to practice what you preach because meditating just might cure you of your leftover teenage angst.

Such is the nature of life that we have to do tasks we don't enjoy because the world wouldn't function if we didn't. There is a force called entropy where as everything in the universe tends to degenerate into complete randomness and disorder. It has to be contantly opposed with work.
