I have a good friend of mine who may be related to this comic.
He was a trucker and lost his job in the 2008 crisis. After that he decided he did not want to get a job anymore.
He set up a tent in the woods and lives there. He goes down town to read books every day and people give him some money. He has food, he has his place full of books and with the money he gets he can buy some wine to enjoy the day.
Cool guy to be around and have nice chats.
He’s got a good life he enjoys. What should he plan for? If he ever gets sick (and with his lifestyle he really doesn’t get sick) he can go to the hospital and they’ll treat him for free.
He’s got more clothes and stuff he may ever need as people just throw stuff away and he collects it. In fact he gifted me clothes, backpacks, pans and other stuff.
I do not think he needs to plan much more to maintain his lifestyle. I mean, some planning is good. I know he took down a few trees as he’s planning to make a teepee to have a better kitchen area. But I don’t think much more planning than that would significantly improve his life.
How is he getting free healthcare when no one else can? How does he take showers every day? How does he survive the cold brutal winters? The hot brutal summers? You know every square inch of land on the planet is owned by someone. A person can’t just set up a tent somewhere and call it home, with no expectation of being forced to git. You are romanticizing this a bit too much.

A working healthcare system makes a huge difference yes!
