    Have you seen the dvd or books anywhere? its very interesting. I cant say personally id be prepared to give up EVERYTHING because i like security of having a roof over my head but ive definitely been thinking more along these sort of lines lately.
    Everything is always better after a cup of tea
  • No I haven't there is a link to the DVD with £5.00 postage and you pay what you can afford. Which I may do I just love the idea of not having any hang ups about money but HATE the idea of living without a safe haven ie home. Very interesting concept though.

    Thanks for posting that link - very interesting!

    I have no interest in living that way, but it would do no harm to live a lot more simply. I guess, too, that with the current financial situation, a lot of people are having to do just that, and a fair number of them are probably members of this forum. Hmm, definitely food for thought.
