"maybe the clothes are made of paper. The food is just nutrient paste...."

Or something like that from the Expanse. Sure, your needs are met, but living life on basic assistance seems like a nightmare.

    Another fiction to look at could be Star Trek. Pretty much everything materialistic is free. You study and work not to afford your materialistic needs and wants, but for the joy of doing it.

    And people do build careers and business, for the joy and the achievement of it.

    ... just to contrast your idea of badic income meaning barely surviving.
