Logging in to a laptop I had not used in a year (so it's on the list of things to give away or sell), I found that I had this article open:
https://www.capitaldaily.ca/news/pennil ... hout-money
I did a quick search on the forum to see if I had found it here and I don't think I did. Short version: guy trips on acid, decides that money is evil, lives without it.
Some quotes I found interesting:
"he expects that soon he’ll lose his bottom front teeth. Chunks are already missing, and he’s preparing himself mentally for not being able to have dentures."
"Most of the sacrifices are easy to roll with. But the big one—the one he says he thinks about every day—is the loss of contact with his children, whom he hasn’t seen in about a decade. They were born after he’d stopped using money, and now one is 10, and the other is almost 14. While he says their mother knew before they became involved that he didn’t use money—and was warned that he wouldn’t start using it, even if she got pregnant—it became a problem. “It drove her mad,” he says, “like no matter how much we tried to make it work, not using money was not going to allow it to happen.” It made him unreliable as a father because he couldn’t promise his children consistency. How would he know if he’d be able to get to them at any given time for pre-planned visits? And where would those visits take place?"
I wouldn't want to live like this (I like having teeth) but I admire his conviction.
