Living without Money

At first, I think that living without money isn’t something that you can just start doing right
away. You have to prepare it quite a lot and persuade a lot of people to barter with you, so it can
take months to start it. Also, you have to have some friends or people who understand your thinking,
because it could be very hard to set up those barters with someone, who doesn’t take this idea
seriously or something similar.

The next problem for me is that I could be quite limited by my age. Also, I don’t have that
much experience and skills that I could barter with and I still have to go to school. On the other side, I
could live with my parents, so I wouldn’t have to worry about rent or electricity and so on. I think
that one barter trade could be set easily at home and it works quite similar even now. It’s simple: You
help with housework and parents give you something extra, for example after some time they will
give you a new phone or something like this.

My other idea is that because I’m quite good at some subjects like maths, physics and
geography, I think that I could help someone, who has a problem with these subjects. I imagine it like
I help some people with for example physics, and they will get me something that I need for school,
for example pencils, as a payment. Next of my ideas is that I could help with lunches in the canteen in
exchange for lunches. It will help both to me, who would get something to eat, and the canteen
could operate faster.

Honestly, I don’t think that I could live without money, not because I would miss them, but
because I wouldn’t be able to persuade people for this, as I am not very good at it.
