Thank you for the break-down. I now see the difference clearly. Indeed, I was hoping for something far more romantic than that.

That being said, I'm still curious: can you live without money (or, at least, with the absolute minimum)? Have you ever heard of people doing that? I've heard of one vagabond posting of his penniless living online, but I never dug any deeper than that. I know that one can get odd jobs as they travel (since they have no shelter) - and, even though unreliable, this is somewhat feasible (and I understand that the pay is shit in this case - it's just better than nothing). I have no idea about where one would sleep/rest and other such activities, though.
