It sounds like you basically just described retirement, and I see nothing wrong with that. I'm investing in my future so that someday my capital increases to the point that I can live off the proceeds. I absolutely don't want to work until I die.

Lmao no. I described ownership of private property. I described being able to own something, and get paid from people using it! The best scam in the world. Did you know you can just buy homes and get money from the people that wanted to buy it, yet not have to sell it to them? It's fucking marvellous - they live there, make it their home, and pay you for the privilege! And you get to be called a lord for doing this!
