Hypothetically speaking.If you didnt have a dime in your pocket,do you think you can get by.? In a city,seems impossible,if one has no source of income,probably starve,even homeless people have some nickel or dime to buy food. Like the native people who live of the jungle hunting gathering,they dont need money and they are fine,but for those born and bred in the city,if they were to be transplanted into the jungle,will they be able to cope without the usual creature comforts they are accustomed to but totally living off the land,like the survivor reality tv show. but not so extreme,because there will be more freedom of movement,still,city slickers in that environment,how long will they last?

Well i can't stay without money. Because for alive i need to eat food and need money to buy food.So i need it.
Well the people who live in jungle they also eat food for being alive and they don't need money as they are hunting. But one day they will also need money as before we also live at jungle. But when the day will come no body knows.
But now our place become city and we need money.

Well my guys I really think that it would be way way impossible to live and get by without money. Just imagine in this modern world. Imagine how money is demanded everywhere you go. Everything you do. Everywhere money exchanges hand and I don't think anyone can live without this.

It takes some time to adjust to an environment but I sure think that people from cities can live in a jungle for a long time. It's just a matter of adapting to the surroundings.

I'd like to think that, in that situation, I could get by. I wouldn't necessarily be thriving, but I would be able to survive. As long as it was in a land where they naturally had some sort of plant food substance I could do it. It would most certainly be difficult though as it would be a complete change from the life I have grown accustomed to over the years.
