Chores
Have you ever stopped to consider how many chores make up a life? We have a ton of conveniences and we still live in groups to split them up. Before tech was a factor the groups we lived in were larger, they had to be in order to survive. Hunting, gathering, clothing, water, food prep, cleaning, children, fire, transportation, housing, medicinal, and light make up the basic list. The amount of work it takes for basic survival is time consuming and backbreaking with no conveniences. Even with all our modern doodads, it takes a lot of time and money.
