Interestingly, the one glaring exception to this is hunter-gatherer lifestyles. They had to work less hours than modern day workers. Hunter gathered groups tended to evolve cultural practices that lead to constant population. When you’re living off the land, the land only gives what it gives. When your area is already near its population carrying capacity, there isn’t a ton to gain from putting in extra work. You go and gather what you need for the day, and that’s it. Getting extra will just mean more food that is rapidly spoiling, leaving less for tomorrow. Better to just sit in camp, sit around the fire, sing some songs, and conserve some calories.
If you own/use as much as a hunter-gather owned/used, you also wouldn’t need to work very much.
Take away the fridge, tv, computer, phone, car, hvac, stove, microwave, water, electricity, gas, 95% of the house, going out to eat, etc. You are not left with many expenses. You can live that way, it doesn’t require much working to maintain that lifestyle.

Now afford a place to pitch that tent.

$7,500 and you fully own your 3.4 acres. That shit won’t take long to pay off. Now, you actually own more than the hunter/gatherer did!
Edit: Grabbed a different one to make sure there was no HOA
