I understand it depends of the country laws and social choices. In France you can be freed from wageslaving just by depression. They give you 900 € each month for staying home + 250 € each month to pay the house / apartment rent. If you're paying a mortgage, they also give you those 250 €, which means the government literally gives you the property of your living place. All this also pairs with the medical system ; when they give you 900€ each month, you also gain the right to access any medical need for free (excepted for teeth, you can only have metal fake teeth instead of ceramic teeth).
As working depresses me, I'm eligible to so many things that I need someone to understand all that. So the government pays a social worker that just do all the administrative boring part. Honestly, I'd rather jump from a bridge than working a single other hour in my life. They said it should be a good thing if I worked again, but I said it was impossible because it was stressing me way too much. They didn't insisted.
In France we also have a huge amount of fake disabled. They have their 900€ each month and go to India or Thailand to live like princes. But the government prefers to lose some billions to these guys than seeing millions of disabled on the streets protesting for their rights, rioting and voting for the opposite party at the next elections.
i've seen many countries are now trying a thing called basic income, giving free money (around 1000€ each month) to every citizen, so they can never get poor anymore, lower crime rates, medical bills due to stress, lower enjailment, and so on. Germany, Switzerland and Finland experiments this and maybe you'll not be wageslaving your whole life. For cultural reasons, I'm not sure it would happen in the US tbh, due to the hard relationship between the government and US citizen.
