The Man Who Quit Money opened my eyes to so many things in society that I never questioned before. What really touched me was when you said something about feeling free when you finally quit money, feeling more free than Bill Gates probably ever feels. Though I must admit that I have no intention on giving up money in my lifetime (Unfortunately, I'm a believer in the dollar bill illusion), I have started to reevaluate my priorities on making, saving, and spending money. I don't know if you will ever read this, but I would just like to say that you have touched at least one person from that book written about you. I'm in awe of people who have the guts to choose to live their lives (what is considered) unconventionally so that they can be happy. <br />Good luck in your many future adventures & Thanks for being you :)That Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12139639317878413762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-42925755453897309962012-06-15T10:13:39.834-06:002012-06-15T10:13:39.834-06:00hi daniel - libby here (i stopped you on your bike...hi daniel - libby here (i stopped you on your bike to tell you about the blm coming to your cave...) - i haven't gotten to your book yet, but have been admiring you from afar (no, from aclose...i'm here in moab :-) anyway, it seems you have no shortage of friends - what a blessing! - i hope to be included, soon. i'll stop you again, when you come home, and hopefully, we can have a lovely chat. until then - libbyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325962080418208434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-81866112685363184692012-06-14T09:20:35.672-06:002012-06-14T09:20:35.672-06:00I grok you, Suelo.I grok you, Suelo.NancyHankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967999905820138867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-10505278765417334182012-06-13T13:56:32.022-06:002012-06-13T13:56:32.022-06:00THAT VIDEO WAS HILARIOUS!!!!

Thank You for doing what you do, and writing about it. <br /><br />I think I have heard stories of you from other Moab, UT travelers. I love that part of the world! <br /><br />I searched "how to live without money" because I am trying to do it too. I am just starting, and de-creasing my dependence on money slowly, and you are such an inspiration.<br /><br />I started a blog earlier this month called - the money-free living project - and you are welcome to see it if you want here http://moneyfreeliving.blogspot.com<br /><br />My name is Sofie and maybe some day we will meet. I look forward to reading your blog and learning a lot from your lifestyle. I quoted you on my blog's home page, I hope you don't mind. What you said about freely giving and receiving touched my heart in a very special place. <br /><br />Mahalo!

If we but look inside, we see that thinking about money stifles our creativity! What the money system does is hijack creativity and mass markets it. Notice how inventors & artists are mostly anonymous, often poor, rarely reaping monetary rewards. Of course, this is the dilemma. It's the marketeers who've spread our creations. Then our creations usually become too much, and we become slaves to them. e.g., Cars. But because of marketing you know about me now! Is it possible without marketing? Maybe our creations would spread more slowly & be in balance, serving us rather us serving them? Cottonwoods are propagated for miles by the wind, coconuts by sea currents, without marketing, after all.Suelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739011165937473840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-81522765977440366192012-06-07T11:41:01.888-06:002012-06-07T11:41:01.888-06:00I am half way through reading the book.

I have always, always, always had a desire to give up material wealth and live as you do, but I never realized that people in this day in age actually do it. I thought that was something that you could only do in stories. <br /><br />You have inspired me, and I hope that I can follow in your footsteps and one day live without money. <br /><br />I hope that I can meet you some day. As for your critics, they clearly do not understand.

I bought mine so I figure Mark got something freely given (my money lol!). The final person who gets the book will be my best friend for her birthday, although she lives with money she does not use like the normal american, she tries make everything from scratch and buys what she cannot. So her journey is more about not buying into commercialism and consumerism. So she will be tickled pink when I give her a book that was first read by many before she received it!

You are one of the few people to see beyond the immediate brick-wall illusion of monetary wealth. <br /><br />I agree nature does not operate on monetary wealth, it is a shame most would barrage you with negative comments while hiding behind a mask.

For all who have not yet read it, it is not exclusive to Suelo it is about society, religion, new and old forms of self sufficient life styles. Mark is telling a two fold story mixing how one man (Suelo) made his personal/spiritial quest to where he is now, but also side lines to where it appears (and I would personally agree) we are as a country/civilization and where it appears we are going, the picture is bleak and we can learn a lot I feel from men like Suelo and Mark Sundeen.
