Living without money

on Sunday, July 17, 2011


Remember the lyrics from Price Tag song: It's not about money money money
or the lyric from old song Money by : Money makes the world go round.



Another post for surviving without money, this time in urban area.
    Heidemarie Schwermer proves that you don't need money to survive the world.  For 15 years, she didn't use money. She  lives according to the principles of Gib und Nimm ( Give And Take). She venture a place where anyone could trade stuff and skills for other things and skills they needed, without a single coin or banknote changing hands. Old clothes could be traded in return for kitchen appliances, and car service rendered in return for other services such as doing various chores for accommodation in the houses of various members of the Tauschring, and loving it.
   Heidemarie doesn't own a health insurance. If she's a bit sick, she rely on the power of self-healing . She even pen 2 books of her experience living without money and all the royalty goes to charity.  It was supposed to be just a 12-month experiment, but found herself loving it so much and  she just couldn’t give it up.
