Man lives without money for a year
Man lives without money for a year
A man who lived for a year without spending any money has said that it has been the happiest time of his life and he intends to continue living without cash.
Mark Boyle, 30, has lived for the past 12 months as a true ‘freeconomist’, leading a self-sufficient lifestyle in a caravan in Timsbury, near Bath, growing his own food and reusing junk that people have thrown away.
He has pledged to continue living without cash because he says he has become a happier person for it.
He cycles everywhere, his phone only takes incoming calls, he has solar-powered showers and cleans his teeth with toothpaste made from washed-up cuttlefish bones.
He grows or forages for his food and gets his clothes from bins or from the Freecycle website. LINK >>
Mark 6:7-11
“And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
