I know we have our Marxist definition and all that, but it seems to be a really pervasive

Idk, I was a regular warehouse/factory worker for less than 2 years, and when I quit, I was able to cover my living costs for over a year.
If I had worked for 6 years and bought a house, and then another 2 years to fully cover baseline living expenses for at least the next 10 years of not working, would I no longer be a worker at that point?
Must be some very favourable conditions if that is the case. From where I am from, most people could not do a month unless they have savings beyond the wage. So this resonates with the people I am around well enough.
