I own my home and land, could in a fairly straightforward fashion produce enough food to feed ourselves (although we don't choose to 100% rely on that), and have quality barter type relationships to repair vehicles, and technically could get by just fine with a bicycle for 95% of our transportation needs (although we don't choose to do that either).

Nonetheless, there are more stressors from other things that come along with that... like making personal choices to assist other people with housing, food, and transportation needs, because that's just what you kind of do when you've taken care of that for yourself but you see people around you with various kinds of needs.
