well Money was first used in 1200BC, So you dont or didnt need money to live back then.
It would be interesting to see or live in these times, Where all you did was Barter, So if you grew say Potatoes and someone else Grew Tomatoes you would just exchange some of your for some of theirs ect.
Here is the first use of money, And I think it is rather sad what it was first used for...lol
"So Who Invented Money?
The first written records of the use of money date from 1200BC, in the area of land now known as Southern Algeria, although then it was covered with water. Inscriptions in stones record that 'twelve shekels' were paid into the bank account belonging to Algar Hammurabi, in return for 'use of his daughter'. Twelve shekels in today's money would buy you hundreds of prostitutes, all better looking than Hammurabi's daughter, who was by all accounts rather dull.
But let us not get too carried away, because a monetary system existed long before Hammurabi's daughter was bought and sold. That was a system known as bartering. "
