If money is not a currency that is used as a method of exchange, I can proudly say that I can live without money. Your question actually has to be qualified, if the meaning of money is just money or is it richness. If it refers to the latter, I can absolutely live without being rich. I can be happy without too much money. I can enjoy life without being rich. In fact my country is so special because people take time to smile and be happy despite their poor status in life. They don't mind it at all.
Of course I need money for my son's education and our basic needs. But other than that, i don't really need too much luxuries in life.

Hi fey, There was a time when people lived without money and there may be a few places even today where one could manage. Money of itself has no worth, it's only useful as a medium of exchange. We have for the most part created a society where we need money in order to buy even food and clothing. Blessings.

Without money I have almost starved for about two years,in youth,not to mention the lack of good dress for attending interview etc.Due to lack of money I could not purchase the much needed books during my college days.Being without money,for even the basics of life is hell,let me tell you.

Well, not entirely. We cannot live without food and water, and money comes after that. We can get food and water from many resources, and money is one of them.

I don't have money right now but im still living my life like the usual days that i have money. And everyday i can see people living in the streets but they are still living even if they don't have money. I think it depends upon how the person would handle the situation or how one would see things his/her way.

For most people it is not possible.
But money is just a form of exchange, to help us swap our goods and services, easily.
Life can be lived with out money (if you mean coins and notes (bills)). Of course you will then probably have to offer your labour, so that people will let you have food and shelter, plus other things you might need or want.
Barter is also possible. You might make clothes, which could then be swapped for other goods that you require - how much or many other goods you would get for your clothes would of course be a matter of negotiation with the other party.
Hope that is descriptive!!! ;-)
