> if you fail to pay the bills, you aren't going to die.
I don't know where you live, but in certain places failing to pay your bills means you end up in the cold rain with nothing to eat.

That's still not the same as dying. There are homeless people who still manage to get by for years on, despite having no means whatsoever.
In my mind, that's not a different perspective. It's the same perspective, applied elsewhere.
Many other people would not make it long term in such a situation, and I'm not trying to imply it'd be an enjoyable life, but I do wish more people had skills to survive the environment just outside their homes.
you're not going to freeze to death in southern italy
For example, you might quite easily freeze to death at the top of Mount Etna! (And/or burned to death).
I do quite fancy visiting Sicily & Syracuse though!
