      Who doesn't like money, Grace?
      
      I like it for the freedom it allows me to have and not the power to control others.
      
      Consequently, I am not interest in baubles and the trappings of material wealth.

      Some need money to survive and prosper. Others need money to impress people or to dominate them. I find myself in the former.

      Money is a necessity for survival. The more the better until it becomes an evil necessity. Just my opinion.

   Money is what I use to obtain food where there's none growing, shelter from a storm and body covering where required.

   Interesting topic.
   
   I love the outdoors and have since I was young.  We left NYC a month before I turned 5. Lived with relatives in a rural part of Pennsylvania.  I've been hooked on the outdoors since then,
   
   This is how my statement relates to the topic.
   
   My friend and I about two years ago wondered if we could live in the wilderness without money.  So, we both went into the woods, built shelters, hunted for meat and foraged for wild edibles.  We made things and invented thing etc.  We took no electronics, not even cell phones. It was a great few months. Our families knew how to get to us. It was no problem.  We were on my friends property, and he owns a large amount of property.
   
   The sense of freedom from the modern world is difficult to describe.
   
   I learned you only need food, water and shelter in order to survive.  You need your imagination to enjoy things.  It certainly changes your thinking.  You don't worry about money but your survival skills.
   
   So, I shouldn't talk about money.  My focus on it early in my life is what makes my freedom possible.  So, I should shut up.
   
   So, anybody can live without money.  It's possible to survive and be happy as well as content without it.  But, our modern culture and influences blind most people to this reality.
   
   I don't worry about money.  I know how to survive without it.

      Great statement.   It is great to have an imagination.  Imagination keeps one vital & alert, not to mention that imagination keeps life very interesting.
