| Collectible old Philippine peso bills and coins |
Daniel Suelo, is
51 years old and does not have any money in his pocket. Neither does he have money stashed away in his house or in a bank. He wants it that
way and he's happy..
He had decided to stop using money
altogether. That meant no "conscious barter," food stamps or other
government handouts. His mission was to "use only what is freely given or
discarded and what is already present and already running," he wrote on
his web site, Zero Currency.
His home is a
cave on public land outside Moab, Utah. He scavenges for food from the garbage
or off the land (fried grasshoppers, anyone?). He has been known to carve up
and boil fresh road kill. He bathes, without soap, in the creek.
Is he merely a bum or some crazy
vagabond? Hold your judgement. Read
more about his somewhat Christ-like existence here.
Please note:
I very much
appreciate my articles and photos appearing on fellow bloggers' sites, popular
broadsheets, and local broadcast news segments, but I would appreciate even
more a request for permission first.
Thank you!
