Model life in which money does not really matter

Money rules the world? May be. This is the choice of each person, and not necessarily to worship them, making them the meaning of life. Money tightened and changed man, his relation to the world and other people, but at all times were and are people who voluntarily refuse from it.

An example of their neighbors in the evolutionary ladder

Economist and a psychologist at Yale University has once again conducted an experiment on primates by teaching carefree monkeys to use money. Pack of Capuchins, savvy and voracious primates learned to work (hard to pull the lever) and receive a "salary" - colored circles, for which you can buy grape soda and other goodies.

After primates accustomed to the money in their relatively peaceful society having purely human behaviors: one monkeys become workaholics, others - bandits, consuming honestly earned circles, and among females appeared prostitutes.

Monkeys changed the character - it appeared the features that are unique to the human greed and cruelty, rage at upholding money and suspicion.

Morality can bring any - money makes us human or money makes us human beings. Culture of consumption and does not think himself run out, and it does not matter, want this one for us, or whether we do, but there are people who volunteer to speak on this.

Daunshiftery. You have heard about these?

This movement resembles both carefree hippies and something esoteric, with the installation of a wind perfection. This is when a person suddenly begins to enrage office, career, expensive car and stylish things, he has no desire to move up the career ladder and buy what is considered fashionable and a status.

After that, there are a few scenarios: he went to live in a village or in warm countries, in India, for example, or in Thailand. However, it is possible to stay in his native city, but life is still changing dramatically.

What do they live?

There are many ways to make money without burning through life on the nervous and unloved work. Someone tired from the system after a good cook and it Navariya enough money - they can live on their savings, while owners of respectable apartments in Moscow or St. Petersburg can take them and live in a shack in ocean. The movement has spread only in the two capitals, although their daunshiftery in every city.

If a person leaves in Russian village, he can get anyone out there, for example, hay mow. The city can also be found less than hard work, for example, become a freelancer with a flexible schedule and to choose how much work and how much money is needed.

Someone call daunshifterov rogue and losers, but some of them are well-known characters, for example, Uncle Theodore from Buttermilk, historical figures - Gaius Aurelius Diocletian from Diokletii and Siddhartha Gautama.

Simply modern daunshiftery refuse what is considered prestigious: career growth, new gadgets, fashion and fancy cars, but at the same time and from the eternal struggle for their status. Instead, they live for themselves and their families, care about their health and do what they want.

What is so good about it?

1. Everyone knows that stress - is the first step to a hospital bed. Daunshiftery removed many reasons for stress. Of course, between "forget about career and greed" and "to know the Zen" an abyss, but when there is no shouting Chiefs, burning time and a wild desire to receive the award and to buy a new iPhone, life becomes calmer. Returning to the topic of accidents Capuchin, without the pursuit of money people are becoming softer and kinder, cease to be greedy and angry at everything and everyone.
2. There is time for reflection, an opportunity to try his hand at something new, to discover new talents and to think, what would like to do actually. Some are beginning to worry about their health, have healthy food and exercise.

That in general is not good?

To sell something unnecessary, one must buy something unnecessary, but we have no money.

To opt out of the recognized value system, you must be very brave man, because most people, including the most intimate, it does not understand. A person who voluntarily gives up good prospects on the job, can be called a wimp, a rag, a fool and other less respectable epithets. Can break ties and relations.

In addition, a person must know exactly what it is ready for such a life - downshifting involves sacrifice higher income for the leisure and tranquility.

If the person is conscious, but not for the sake of fashion trends, abandoned the values ​​and status, he had the most modest earnings - if not, will be to put it mildly, unpleasant.

In any case, this is akin to enlightenment, and is always around the corner will be trapped:

1. The threat that the wife / husband and friends will say: "Come on, goodbye"
2. Threat to understand that you still important status and fool that left work
3. The threat of losing the meaning of life and sleep

P.S. This article does not agitate anyone to go to the village - just know that you can live, or leave like the idea of ​​"just in case".
