MY LIFE WITHOUT MONEY

At the age of 54, Heidemarie quit her job as a

psychotherapist, gave away all her money and her
apartment, and threw away her credit cards. Today, aside from some clothes
(three sweaters, two skirts, two pairs of shoes, and a coat) and a few personal
belongings, she doesn't own anything. It all began as a one-year experiment. In
her home city of Dortmund, she set up a "swapping circle" where people exchange
services without using money, for example, a haircut for a mathematics class. To
prove that this could work, she decided to give up using money for a year. But
when the year ended, she continued and has not used money since then. At first
she house-sat for friends who were on vacation. She stayed in their houses in
return for watering the plants and taking care of their animals. At the moment, she
is staying in a student residence where she can sleep, take a shower, or use a
computer in return for cooking for the young people who live there. She also
"works" as a psychotherapist. "Before I treated very wealthy people but now I help
anyone who turns up. Sometimes they give me something in return, but not always
Heidemarie says, "I can live thanks to my contacts. A lot of people who know me
understand what I'm doing and want to help me. When I need a bus ticket, for
example, or a new tube of toothpaste I think, 'Who can I ask? What can I give them
in return?' If I want to go to the movies, I might offer to take care of somebody's
children for the afternoon. It is one of the mistakes of our society that most people
do something they don't like just to earn money and spend it on things they don't
need. Many people judge you according to how much you earn. In my opinion, all
jobs are equally important You may not earn a lot of money, but you may be worth
a lot as a person. That's my message." So what did she do with all the money she
earned from the sales of My Life Without Money? "I gave it all away.

ACCIDENTS

I one how many accidents I’ve had in my life. I’ve had a few serious ones
where I’ve ended up in Job . Traffic accidents are the worst. They’re always
painful. I have had too many work-related accidents. I suppose
that’s because I do work and that’s not so dangerous. Most of my accidents are
those around the house. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve hit my thumb with a
hammer. I’m also really good at standing up and heat my head on something.
I’m not as bad as my friend happen . He’s a real accident looking for somewhere to
happen. Almost every time we meet, he has some story to tell about his lite
accident. He’s question unbelievable. I think I’d be very if I were his
mother.
