The Hippy Plan for you

Daniel Suelo lives in caves in the canyonlands of Utah. He survives by harvesting wild foods and eating roadkill.

He has no job, no bank account and does not accept government welfare. In fact, Suelo has no money at all.

Suelo may have shunned all the trappings of modern American life, but he is not an isolationist.

Since abandoning money in 2000, the former cook from Moab, Utah has remained an active member of his community and avid blogger.

Mark Sundeen, author of The Man Who Quit Money, admits many people would regard Suelo's alternative lifestyle as bizarre. But the 2008 financial crash has led many to question the value of money. He explains some of the lessons found in Suelo's philosophy.

Hmm . . . partially squashed possum.

You can tell the truly out of touch . . . they go on and on about hippies or commies or how precious it is that "the little woman" wants to join the workforce.

!967 called, OP. They no longer think you're . . . groovy.

I like that guy. I wouldn't mind doing that some place that wasn't hot as balls.

So... he has no money, lives outside, and acquires goods through panhandling and dumpster diving. What separates him from him and the homeless dude I always see outside the train station? Though I suppose it's commendable that he refuses social assistance. Mind you, I'd hate to get sick or break my leg out there. He'd be screwed.

I wonder how he takes a shower.
