The majority of people would likely be are feudal peasants, working under a warmonger family that owns the sustaining land by force. No upward mobility except through bloodshed.

FTFY

No you don’t understand, this 9-to-5 job that’s slowly but surely wearing me down is just a stepping stone to my millions of $$. That’s why I keep voting for tax breaks for the rich; because I’ve just been temporarily down on my luck for 30 years. /s

No, if you're lucky, clever enough, overwork yourself, or manipulate others you can live a somewhat comfortable life. Those methods don't require taking a life.

overwork yourself

comfortable life

Make it make sense

Comfortable as in "you have a heated living space, food on the table, and security." Don't be dense.

That's not living comfortably, that's the bare minimum everybody should have

100 years ago people round here still had no electricity and depended on wood stoves yet. You are really spoiled.
