A Year Without Money

I read an article about a man who lived entirely without money for a year; no income, no expenses. After finishing the story I began to try and fathom all that this would absolutely require, the bear necessities of life. Shelter, Food/Water, Heat, Tools. While this doesn't seem like much (because in the end when you strip down to living with only what you NEED it's very little) it's still a pretty difficult task. Food and water collection alone would take up probably eighty percent of your day; you would be forced to live for the most primitive of purposes, survival. There's something unbelievably simple in that, and I think that simplicity is beginning to appeal to more and more people. No bills, no car, no worries. Still, it's almost so simple, too some, it's complex. The simplicity challenges what most of us (especially Americans) know and love, consumerism. 

This article definitely inspired me. I have hopes of one day living like this. To be off the grid and on the land, what could be better...
