You can do that in first world countries as well, but you will be living in a hut and growing your own food and maybe hunting, so semi-retired, or living with roommates in a small town for full retirement.
You will not own a car either way. You will bike around and rely on public transit.
I used to ride an inter-city bus to work. I occasionally would see some boomer hauling groceries on a big box mounted on his bicycle like some third worlder. He would then put the bike and the groceries in the luggage space under the bus and ride the bus with us to the nearest station to his bumfuck small town and ride all the way back home. If you know to go dog mode like that and live frugally then it can work in first world countries.
