possible, but if getting out of the cash economy means when you actually need 
cash you just expect someone else to come up with it for you, there's 
something wrong there.  To
  me, getting out of the cash economy means using the resources you have to
  put yourself in a position to not have to ask others to be responsible for
  you.  Whining about not having the education to get anywhere is
  unproductive, uncreative and useless.

 Wow!  Maybe you ought not to be so harsh with my daughter.  She lost her dad 
to cancer, and any help he might have given her with her education died with 
him.  She gave up the chance to graduate from high school in order to take 
care of her sister's son when his mom went off the deep end and we had to 
take care of him with no notice.  
 
 Liz has donated every dime she's made for the last three years to help pay 
off the debts that her sister ran up and/or stole from us.  Liz worked in the 
opposite direction from me and at different hours, so she had to walk two 
miles to work in all kinds of weather.  She is brave, generous and determined 
and has know grief and hardship that not many could endure.  I could not have 
survived ( I have five children) and we would not have a roof over our heads 
at all if she had not been willing to help.  
 
 Someone gave her a lousy car and the first thing she did was sign up for 
classes so she could get her diploma.  The car died and she had to drop out 
again.  She is constantly studying everything from diplomacy to paleontology, 
is actively involved in bettering herself, and yet seems to run in to brick 
walls everytime she tries to make things better.  
 
 Her grandfather has almost a million dollars in his savings account, he 
could easily LEND her the money.  She has promised to sign a contract in 
order to pay him back.  He gave all kinds of money to her older sister and 
Lizzi has never asked him for anything before.  She is an idealist and she 
wants to make the world a better place, she talks about how this or that 
could help people like us.    
 
 She deserves better than criticism from someone who is so quick to judge.
