Coolness: 145310	If a serious person puts their money where their mouth is then Mark Boyle is the world's most serious man. Inspired by Gandhi's famous words to be the change you wish to see in the world, the economics graduate from the U.K. has been living entirely without money since 2008. He has written a book about the experience titled 'The Moneyless Man: A Year of Freeconomic Living' in order to share both the philosophy which led to his drastic decision and the tactics he has used to survive. Living in a trailer given to him for free by someone on [ freecycle.org ] Boyle cooks food which he either grows himself, barters for or forages from the land. He bathes in a solar shower, uses a compost toilet and even makes his own paper. Despite his challenging lifestyle, Boyle has no plans to return to civilzation. He says the time he has spent away from money has been the happiest of his life. Learn more about a moneyless life from Boyle himself in the video below. [ ca.news.yahoo.com ]

Coolness: 178755	cool :) I try to do that also (since I'm broke), but of course on a smaller level. I mean, I often try to get free food (easier in summer with plants!), second-hand stuffs and DIY clothing. But, I wonder, is it possible to live entirely without money in our climate? It's not UK here, winter is harsher and in 2010, not every home has a fireplace. Also, some things just requires money, for example medics. I'm not sure going to the pharmacy and trying to trade fruits for meds would really work... ;) Of course people have been living here without money for a long time, but then, the whole society was organised differently.

	I'm feeling / right now..
