The reason why poverty exists is mainly because people dont own means of production and because people have high demands.

Each person has only 3 basic needs:
1. House
2. Food 
3. Water

All 3 can be easily solved. Person can own a small house and some land. On that land, he can have few animals which produce food.

So all 3 basic needs become solved.

I realized that in the future, if my expenses become too high, I can simply reduce expenses by living without electricity, internet, and TV.

I have calculated that 30 chickens are quite enough to live off grid.

Basically, 30 chickens will give you about 20 eggs per day. 
The food for 30 chickens per day costs about as much as 3 to 4 eggs.
If you sell 4 eggs, you already have enough to buy food for chickens for one day, and you still have 16 eggs left which is pure profit which can later be used to buy more chickens or more chicken food.

This simple economy requires that you live without internet and electricity, but it sets you free. You have to work less than an hour a day, which I think doesnt get any better than that.

But it does get even better, because you can plant trees and raspberries as well to have some variety in food. There is no much work around trees and raspberries. In fact, there is usually none.

Have you taken a SAT test yet? I think you would score very high.

Trump wasnt happy with all the billions he had, so he became president and gave himself tax cuts so he and his friends become even richer. So there is something about rich man's greed, as no amount of money is ever enough, but must always seek more.

Within the current social state of play, doing reasonably well in education and securing a decent job is perhaps the best way to live a comfortable life.

You've got to be somewhere doing something.

You would soon get bored with idling about, consuming a diet of eggs and raspberries.

My problem is that jobs require you to work 8 to 10 hours a day.

I need 10 hour sleep, otherwise I feel terrible.

So then I have no time left for myself, because sleep and job take 20 hours from my day.

Are they really? You seem to be quite naïve when it comes to human nature. You assume every person will do what is required to maintain what they are given. Half if not 3/4 of all the houses would fall into disrepair  and unlivable within 1 to 5 years because most will not lift a finger to repair them. The animals, those will all die or be stolen almost immediately, again because of lack of care and theft. 

Water, who will maintain the plumbing in the house. That to will fall into disrepair. 

Or will all houses be repaired free of charge with someone else's labor  and animals be replaced every time one dies because of neglect and theft  and who will pay to feed them again at someone else's expense? You just gonna confinscate paid for land and give it away? Good luck with that.

No, I dont.

I merely know what I would do.

As for care and theft, people were farming animals for thousands of years.

Those who wont care for animals probably shouldnt even want to own them.

As for replacing animals, profit made from selling animal products can be used to buy new animals.

"All 3 can be easily solved."   Poverty can never be solved, not ever, as long as sloth, irresponsibility and entitlement exist.

World is doomed. Satan has told me that world will become worse and worse until it self-destructs. But one can live in delusion that it will get better.

I guess.

I already have chickens. They produce eggs. What more can someone ask for? 

But yes, most people dont follow such simple economy. So it really wont get better for them, but they also drag me down with them.
