In this story, we meet a man who lives without money. Grand Junction native Daniel Suelo isn't stuck in poverty. He's found a way to live, comfortably, without buying anything. Suelo lives in a cave in the Utah desert, near Moab, and fills his days doing volunteer work, reading, and spending time with friends. He dropped out of the financial system more than a decade ago for philosophical and spiritual reasons. Suelo’s the subject of a new book by author Mark Sundeen, called “The Man Who Quit Money.” Ryan Warner talks with Suelo and Sundeen.
