"Quitting working" is a little misleading. What they are quitting are typical career type jobs. They find the money to get by in a variety of ways.
1- "Gig" jobs: These are easy to get and quit, then find another when you run short of funds. Like Uber or Instacart. Low paying, but unmarried and often couch surfing they have low expenses.
2- Seasonal work: Up here, they'll work pn a fishing boat in summer and plow snow in winter. Or work in the ourist trade or construction in summer, and snowbird to FL in winter.
3- "Side Hustles": Usually some internet scheme. A Gen Z couple I met traded high priced Sneakers onver the net. Or they have a Podcast or are Tattoo artists. etc.
4- Mooching: If they run short, they take periodic donations from retired Boomer parent
5- Gambling- Professional Poker playin is popular. Making book on sportss betting also.
6- Illegal shit: Drugs, Burglary, Prostitution, Bootlegging, Scalping, Gang Protection rackets etc
