Is it possible to live and operate financially without a bank account?

Not technically out of the banking system, but definitely 'under the radar' of the tax man:

Knew a handyman guy who owed back taxes, etc. He always showed zero income, but his elderly mother made good money.

He lived with and cared for his elderly mother, so wasn't completely odd. When working a job he would say "Hey, I owe my mom that much money, just make the check out to her please."

I also knew a guy like that, his mother passed a few years ago and he was totally fucked. Haven't heard a word out of him after.
