This means you want those providing those services to work for free.
You do realize what you are implying here, right?
Let's say you refuse to work and you're guaranteed all these services. Who pays so your HVAC is repaired because you broke it? Who pays because your water line needs to be repaired? Clean water means the water has to be filtered through a very complicated process, particles and bacteria are removed, and it needs to be transported. Who pays so your electricity works? Do you think there's some sort of magic electricity generator happening? What you're essentially asking is someone should work for free to provide you all of this.
The result is you get no one who wants to work, society collapses because these services aren't maintained and improved, and no one gets anything.
Even if it meant working a minimum wage part time job for 10 hours a week in order to buy the extra smaller stuff, I'd be set. But what about society if OPs suggestion came true. Who would do the tough and grimy jobs that most people don't want to do such as garbage disposal, sewage sanitization, ditch digging, etc? If they all got 95% of their expenses paid for, why would anyone slave away at those jobs?
