In a completely unsurprising story out of Manhattan, NY, the words “money isn’t everything” were just spoken at brunch by someone who, conveniently, has lots of it.

Ehh. Plenty of places you can go buy land and try, but you need a decent population mass (i.e. commune) to actually be somewhat self sufficient. Without money, you're not going to be buying any tools, construction materials or any other supplies.

Medical treatment also ends up being questionable - if you're in the US, you probably get nothing unless you're about to die. If you're elsewhere, other people's taxes pay for it...
