Living with no money, also known as voluntary poverty or simple living, is the practice of reducing one’s financial needs to a minimum. Proponents of this lifestyle often seek to live more sustainably, reduce stress, and increase their sense of purpose.
There are many ways to live with no money. Some people choose to live off the land, growing their own food and building their own shelter. Others find ways to earn a living without using money, such as by bartering or volunteering. Still others choose to live in communities where money is not used.
