Could you survive without money?

I seriously doubt you could survive for very long without any money. You could increase self-sufficiency by growing your own food and raising your own animals, producing your own power and so on, but getting started in all these requires an initial input of money, skilled people to maintain, who will also cost money if you can't do it yourself, and, depending on what country you live in, healthcare will cost something, possibly a lot of something. In addition, all governments want something off you for the privilege of living there. Even if you have no income, and therefore no income tax, you will still need to pay stuff like National Insurance and Council Tax.

If i am living in the city i think i cannot survive without money. But if i am living in a province i think i can survive. It is easy to get and make food in province.

I don't think anyone truly can. It's not something that can be taken lightly anymore. You need money to live, plain and simple. For the past 10 to 20 years it has become something that has been embedded in us for survival. And the cost of living has gone up dramatically. You just have to find a plan that works for you so you won't get buried.

mmmmm i dont think so hehe.

I would not survive without a job or money. I have to earn money to pay for the flat, all bills and give all necessary stuff to my child and dog. As nobody supports me financially, I can't imagine my world without money. I need to be responsible and earn money to survive. I must be responsible for my daughter. In my country we don't get much financial support from the country if we lose a job or have no financial sources. It's really bad. One has to take care of himself or rely on family or friends to survive in case financial problems arise. Nowadays, I think it's impossible to live without money. How? We must pay taxes, pay rent and eat. How to do it all without money? Beg in the street? Be homeless?

for me i cannot live without money...in this days i dnt think that i cant survive on that.What if there's a problem on my health that you I really need to go to the hospital..?? how are Im going to do if i dont have money to pay my bills. even in water and electric bills.

I don't believe it could be very possible to survive without money. There are some people who may live off the land and camp in the wilderness. They might have a way of making it but I wouldn't want to do that. In this world it is very important to have a little bit of money. My family is just getting by right now and we do have a little more than the bare essentials, however living without any money at all would be very difficult. We try to save and be conservative regularly especially with electricity and water.

I guess for you cannot easily survive without money because the competition is tough.Well if you will live in rural area then yes you will but you still need a little money for food and stuffs that you need.We people work because of money so that we are able to eat,have a shelter and some extra things that we need in our life.Just imagine if you don't have a single cents.Well yeah you will survive but in hard way.GOd bless and have a nice day.:-0

i think in today's world we just cannot survive without money

Hi,In china , the society in becoming more realitic than before, that is truth, if you do not have much money, you can not live there,but in coutryside, the situation is a little bit better.especialy the house, you can not image the price,70% people can not afford that, it is terrible.

It depends on the place where you gonna' live. If you will live in the metropolis, for sure.. you will starv... bt if you will live in the countryside, there are lots of resources for a living.

No, as of todays world money talks a lot and without money a single person could not survive. The important question there if you don't have enough money is where you will get the resources for your survival? Nothing!

unfortunately, in this day and age, in western society, i think its extremely difficult (not impossible) to survive without money. If you were to go to a remote culture and live off the land then yes, its possible. Its one of the hardest questions - personally i don't like the concept of money - i like earning things through respect rather than an arbitrary object like money, but i guess im just old fashioned.

Absolutely not, I couldn't survive without money! Specially nowadays, it seems like money is the answer to most problems and needs in this world. I am not motivated with money but I just dont know how to survive without money. I would rather owe some money than living without it. Yes money is not everything, there are lots of things that are needful to survive but money seems the top of it in order to survive! Specially the world is in financial crisis now!

Hi there, I don't exactly know what exactly you mean "without money" but i can make you sure that as long as you are in good health there is nothing wrong in it.Years ago i just simply lived with 30 USD per day. I had to work hard each day seven days a week and the outcome of this job was simply around 30 dollars. everything was encluded there.I had to travel by bus every morning 9km then walk two km and when i got to work almost noone of those living close had come yet. I was the first to be there and when all the other members came then the work began. I worked eight to ten hours a day and then travelling back and forth about two hours as the buses were so old and other trobles on the way as well. I was married but my wife was a student and she had was helped by her own family although I had certain expenses going and visiting her every week end.She was 40km away from home.It cost me about six dollars every month.then let's not forget to add here 2-to 3 dollars every month for my bus monthly ticket and roughly 20 dollars to go on living for the rest of the month...Sure I could not sure myself up in the town so much not only because I was mainly away the whole day but secondly if you were out you had to spend certain money with certain people.I usually had my breakfast with me while for lunch I went to a small canteen (a place to eat cheap )and like this about 7-8 dollars more were left on it and as you can see or emagine or never imagine someone can possibly live but surely not every where .... ! Actually your subject is wakening me of such times... so I better go... Wish you never taste that way...

I think you'd need to have some sort of money supply, even a small one. You could do things such as hunt or grow your own food to eat but eventually, you would probably run out of things to use for growing or hunting and would need to buy some more supplies. Of course, if you could grow your own food, you could grow more than you needed and sell it for money. Of course, you could also do odd jobs for cash too. Those odd jobs wouldn't bring you a lot of money but if you could grow or hunt for your own food, you wouldn't need a lot. Of course there is the matter of having a place to stay. I don't know any places that are rent free. If you could find a place to pop a tent that had a pretty mild climate you'd probably make it ok. If you had access to water so you could wash your clothing and hang it to dry, you also would not need to spend anything. I think if you really tried to plan it, you could get by on having very little money but you would need a small supply of it especially in the beginning for some supplies.

Hello friend. I won't be able to live on without having any money with me. This is a very realistic society. Without money, you cannot move anywhere. It is a harsh society and we have to make our earnings by working hard using our mental and physical labor. Some kind of surviving skill of making money is greatly needed to make life live on.

why of course not but if u find out how to let me know, please.

I don't think that anyone can survive without money, unless you have someone supporting you. You have to have money for absolutely everything. I try to cut back on our bills mainly electricity. I don't see us saving any money on groceries. That's something we won't cut corners on, but it would be nice to save on them. I've been savig a lot of money lately, and that's mainly because I haven't been spending as much.

The answer would be obviously no buddy. Unless someone is ready to sponsor you or something like that. Now days almost everything you need for a living requires money. That's the reason people are working to earn a living. Yo save money people deposit their money in a bank where they could earn interest on that money. As far a resources and energy is concerned I switch of the lights fans etc in the room I'm not sitting in so that electricity is saved.
