If you want to enrage yourself, get the book "Hell's Angels" by Hunter Thompson.

There's a long passage on the economics of being a biker/hippie/dropout/artist circa 1970.

A biker who worked six months as a Union stevedore could save enough to spend two years on the road. A part time waitress could earn enough to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
