Fifteen months without touching a penny
Mark Boyle got his economics and business
degree, entered the rat race, then jumped back out. For the last
fifteen months, he
has lived without spending a single penny. His experiment is a
bit too extreme for me, but I like to see that the lifestyle is
possible. He writes:
Ironically,
I have found this year to be the happiest of my life. I've
more friends in my community than ever, I haven't been ill since I
began, and I've never been fitter. I've found that friendship, not
money, is real security. That most western poverty is spiritual. And
that independence is really interdependence.
If you're entrenched in
the rat race and can't see the way out, I recommend you read up on Mark
Boyle. Our Microbusiness Independence book provides a milder path
out of the rat race, but if you try either method I suspect you'll be
happier and healthier.
