I like staying in a city as I rely on all the people around me to pay towards the costs of garbage collection, water pumping, electricity distribution costs and supermarket logistics chains of getting food from factories to where I am.

Society requires everyone to produce more than they cost. The government invests in you in terms of free education and in some countries free healthcare.

Work is the resource that is renewable. Everyone is forced into a grind to raise enough to pay for everyone else's costs and your own due to the recursive relationship of costs.
