Firstly, I would like to welcome you to myLot! If we no longer had money, I don't think we would be extinct/wiped out or however you wish to put it. The answer to this question is written in the history books, we would just go back to how we were a few hundred years ago! Trading grain, meat, fabrics or whatever resources we were growing/harvesting/making, in exchange for resources that we need!

Welcome to Mylot Sergey Yes we would still be alive. Long before we had money in the form of currency, coins, silver or gold, we had barter and trade. People traded for one thing for another, A horse for a cow, shoes for a couple dozen eggs, Clothing for wool, Pottery for tools. We would survive and make adjustments and many would be alive. Some might perish if they did not quickly learn the art of barter and trade. Barter has to do with your making a deal that is agreeable to both you and another person. Say you have a sack of potato's and you need some meat, The other person has four chickens. You offer him half the potato's for 4 chickens, he says no, one chicken, you say okay 2/3rds sack of potatos for 3 chickens and he says no 2 chickens and you finally both have a deal. You take the rest of your potato's and the chickens and make a meal. You bartered then traded
