This Man Has Lived Without Money For Fifteen Years: See How!

Since the autumn of 2000, Daniel Suelo has not used money. He lives a life of homelessness by choice, camping in the desert caves of Utah.

Last year he told The Atlantic: “Our whole society is designed so that you have to have money. You have to be a part of the capitalist system. It’s illegal to live outside of it.”

Suelo, Spanish for soil, is the name that Daniel adopted when he gave up using money.

Yet for 15 years Suelo has lived outside it, albeit illegally.

He has made his home in the dozen or so caves in the canyons near the Arches National Park in Utah.

He’s lived there in the desert since 2002, two years after quitting money.
