Not to get too Ayn Rand on your ass but have to agree with Jermy here. I don't really understand this idea that money is evil and it is a virtue to live without it. Money is a medium by which one can exchange your own useful skills and ideas for those of others in human society. By rejecting the need for this exchange you are is essence rejecting the idea that goods and services have value that is abstractable. I guess if that is this guys choice, whatever, more power to him. All the nice things about modern society like health care, technology, commerce, white collar jobs, higher education, etc, etc, all depend on the financial system to survive. Without it you would be reduced to living in caves eating squirrels and berries, oh wait.
