Bring back the 70s hippies!
I think we had hippies in the 70s due to the exact same things we all struggle with today. It's a shame that way of life fell but the wayside. Did they not reject societal norms to live a life free of slave labour to the dollar? Free of wanting fancy houses and fancy cars? I don't believe that they wanted a life of laziness, I believe they just wanted true freedom that didn't involve money. They lived in communes where everyone chipped in, growing food, trading for things, living off the land and caring for each other. Maybe we need to bring back some of their ideology. I don't know how you would go about achieving this, but I love the idea of it. At the end of the day you would still need to outlay money to buy land and pay land tax at a minimum.
