For this market to resolve YES, I (the market creator) must personally feel that holding a job or earning income through work is necessary to maintain what I consider a decent quality of life in the U.S. as of the year 2045.

This includes access to housing, food, healthcare, social engagement, and general well-being.

For NO, it must be the case that I feel I could maintain this standard of living without needing to work—whether due to UBI, technological abundance, shared housing, or other support systems.

Resolution will be based on my honest self-assessment and will be declared by me in 2045.

• Update 2025-06-06 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): If the creator feels that a decent quality of life is totally unavailable in the U.S. in 2045, the market will resolve NO.
