Ahh, had to trawl back a bit to see! I wasn't referring to Ecoprincess, who is clearly partially plugged into the money economy, I was referring to the very first post which posed the question was it possible to live without money for a year. I don't think this is possible in our modern economy to live without money as at some point you will have to make use of something for which you don't pay, like the public health system, but for which someone somewhere has paid. Even just cycling up into town you are making use of roads paid for by people's taxes.....

So unless you live on an island, and totally support yourself, including healing yourself when you get sick, its not possible to live entirely without making use of money.
