Man Has Lived Without Money SInce 2008

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.
I'm sure Mark is telling the absolute truth. When you have no money you're free. You have few responsibilites, no bills to pay, no one to answer to; obviously no taxes and you don't have maintenance and upkeep on property.You also don't have to worry about neighbors or doing any kind of service for your community.
 All of this changes though if you get sick or need a root canal or it gets extremely cold or if you can't find a meal. What if you can't park your trailer for free anywhere? And what if you needed some intellectual stimulation and you couldn't even afford a library card? What if you meet someone you care for? Would you wish your lifestyle on her or on any children she might have by you?
This is a life best lived completely alone. And as long as you follow it, that's how you'll remain; alone.
