This is closer to living without money: http://www.amazon.com/Science-Dumpster-Diving-John-Hoffman/d...

I actually own this book. I bought it in highschool because I felt I was putting my money into things that I didn't need to, and so I could save money quicker for the cool stuff.

I should add, I ended up making money by fixing broken things. A lot of the things weren't even broken! I'd take books to bookstores too. If the homeless only had a place to store broken goods, a place they could fix items, they'd have a resource they could pool into.

There's an idea.

Also, a bag of produce was always a great treasure. Great for compost.
