i would still work, but only when i want on what i want to do!. i guess the would still has to move, so people just have to work for the good of the community!.

my hope is that people would take on a more responsible lifestyle!. they would do thing because they wanted to and not because they had to!.

it's great question, because i wonder if money is what makes people more motivated!? it seems like many of the most brilliant people do want they do not for the money but because they have a genuine passion for something!. maybe people would become more passionate about what they do!.

whatever i want, i think!. it depends the availability of stuff that normally costs money!.
!.!.!. if everything was available, i wouldn't take much!. just what i need and some stuff like!. but so much pressure would be lifted off my shoulders!.

then i would focus only on enjoying a fun life doing stuff traveling, playing soccer and meeting new people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd be doing what everyone else was doing, living a short, brutal life as a hunter-gatherer!. Money is what makes commerce, civilization and progress possible!.

If anyone thinks that life without money would be great, kindly send all of yours to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

with out money i guess life would be awesome!!! since for me money is the source of all evil!! imagine without money we might actually learn how to give without having anything in return!. life would be more peaceful!. On a daily basis i guess i would draw, sing, dance, and borrow books from other people!.!.!.i could trade stuff from people(like books) for a day or two!. We would not be like cave men cuz unlike them we can care about others we can help each other to make all of us in the community happy and live in peace:)

We'd need some other means of keeping track of obligations!.
Money, or something like it, is really quite necessary to live
in a complex society!.
The trouble is that we've allowed governments to 'play about'
with our money, so that its value is not stable or lasting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The world wouldn't be that different as it is right now!. Money is only a lubricant for the products we buy and sell!. We offer for example labor and for return we get money!.
Without money we would get for example a bag of potatoes!. We would just trade products instead of using money!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think there would ever be no money!. It might go under different names and fashions, but it would always exist, in some way or other!. Likely society wouldn't be much different!. Perhaps instead of money for work we'd get bread, or milk!. But systems of payment would likely still be in place!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would survive!.
If there were not any money, people would use their resources and help each other!.
Farmers would supply the grain and food!. Builders would build houses Parents would lend a hand with each others children!. Etc, etc!., and those counting on having more than the most of us, couldn't handle it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have no idea, we could still have a similar technology on a barter basis, or we could not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Taking care of the sheep and oxen, the cattle!. I would sit under my own vine and fig tree and prune my vineyard!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.what i do daily!.!.!.
!.!.!.surf, live a good healthy life and help others to help themselves!.!.!.
!.!.!.to make a better world!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We'd be living pretty much like cave men, assuming we had no other tool of trade!.
