Money money money: Let’s take back the control

Heidemarie Schwermer, a German woman, has lived without money for 16 years. Doing odd jobs in return for food and clothes, Heidemarie claims it has made her happier and that money distracts us from what is really important. While an extreme example, I agree with her sentiment. Money does distract us and also scares us. And whilst I don’t think we could all live without money, I do think we could all change our attitude towards it.
