Because so many people think you can have something for nothing.

Yeah, that's a nice one. Come back and tell us when all work is automated.

My way of seeing things is this:

You need 4 things to survive: food, water, air, and shelter

Now lets imagine air is of good enough quality and free. Now lets imagine that water is provided for free because huge treatment plants are all automated and maintenance is done by robots and negligible costs. Food should be close to free with basic grain based foods made easily and cheaply by robots harvesting wheat. Basic homes can be in the form of government housing serviced and maintained by robots. We have the minimal stuff required to live. The luxury items can be bought/traded for by learning skills that robots can't do. With enough automation we can get to this point.
