The Moneyless Man hit the news in 2010. He is Mark Boyle, the founder of Freeconomy Community and the author of The Moneyless Man. In an update in 2015, he says it was to be a one-year experiment in ecological living. It is said he started this on Buy Nothing Day, November 28th. At the end of the first year, he found himself "more content, healthier, and at peace". He has gone on to lead many initiatives in this area. He is known as an activist and writer.
German Heidemarie Schwermer decided in her early 50s to leave her job as a psychotherapist and live money-free. This has been documented in the film "Living Without Money." She too decided to live one year without money. "I only wanted to try to do an experiment and in that year, I noticed a new life," she said. "I didn't want to go back to the old life."
"Her schedule is pretty strict. After a week, she's off to somewhere new, usually running the lecture circuit at speaking engagements around Europe and lately helping to promote her documentary. The only payment she accepts, however, is enough to cover her train fare. "I'm always thinking how I could make things better for life in the world," she says. "I am something like a peace pilgrim. I go from house to house sharing my philosophy."
