You have the freedom, if you have money. Otherwise you don't. You just have the freedom to be homeless and starve

That is generally how it works in most of the world, except for primitive hunter-gatherer societies that live beyond modern civilization.

Except that most countries do have social services to support the needy. If you are poor in the USA, you can get free food and free healthcare from local county governments.
