Thanks for that link Aril. I was wondering how it would be possible here in the UK, bearing in mind things like council tax, but I notice that he has a link to a guy over here who's been living money free. I'll be having a look at both sites.0 -

In most counties free internet is possible.....libraries offer it free, and also do taster courses in internet and family tree searches :money: All you need is a library card, which is also free.0

He writes his blog for free at the library. My only comment [not a criticism just an observation] is his lifestyle is in part dependent on the rest of society buying and throwing away.
