I totally agree with you @charlie777pt
The best way to get our of the system is to have enough power to be independent of the system and anyone else, for that matter. That is why I think it is easier to be spiritual when you have enough economic freedom.
It is another question if that freedom will not corrupt you, but well, life is full of temptations.
As long as you can take care of your own needs, you are fine to go. Making someone else to take care of you, will never make you spiritual. At least that is my opinion based on all the observations.
