Publisher's Summary
Imagine a year without spending - or even touching - money. Former businessman Mark Boyle did just that and here is his extraordinary story. Going back to basics and following his own strict rules, Mark learned ingenious ways to eliminate his bills and discovered that good friends are all the riches you need.
Encountering seasonal foods, solar panels, skill-swapping schemes, cuttlefish toothpaste, compost toilets, and - the unthinkable - a cash-free Christmas, Boyle puts the fun into frugality and offers some great tips for economical (and environmentally friendly) living. A testament to Mark's astounding determination, this witty and heart-warming book will make you re-evaluate your relationship to your wallet.

Highly recommend!!
Wonderful audiobook that has opened my eyes to living with less money. The story is told very well and points to many areas that we as humans can live a more enjoyable sustainable life with less impact on the planet. Highly recommend!

Very interesting
His story and perspective made me think deeply about our modern lifestyle, food production, transport, and how the economy works. While I’m not sure the idea of returning to a moneyless society will ever happen, we can definitely take on a lot of aspects he speaks about- sharing, helping each other, mending instead of replacing, asking ourselves if we really need something, etc. (I’ve pondered alternative housing for many years, but the councils in Australia seem to be very against it and there are so many laws. One needs to be quite rich to build an alternative home that’s in line with the building regulations. Very sad.) I would recommend this book.

Good prep for the next pandemic
Listened to this in preparation for my escape from society mid pandemic lockdown. Good tips for the unemployed and unvaccinated mid lock down/mandatory vax period.

Great book, wrong narrator
This is a great book and well worth a listen.
I just wish they had chosen an Irish narrator (eg Gerard Doyle, as per Boyle's second book The Way Home).
