Dan Price is a man in his fifties as of now from Kentucky. He had a wife, children, a home and a job and a life, but he left all of that behind to move out and be free.
He currently lives in a place that he has described to the media as his "Hobbit Hole", and makes his way through life for only $5000 a year.
All in all, it's rather impressive that he is able to make it on so little, but it turns out you can do a lot when you are willing to downsize your lifestyle.
What's his secret to making his money last?
Well, for starters he doesn't have most of the luxuries or comforts that we all take for granted, like indoor plumbing, more than one room, or refrigeration.
One of his most common meals is cereal or granola eaten with water instead of milk.
And as for his day to day activities, he works as a caretaker for a local cemetery, clears trees from the land on which he lives for only $100 a year, and works on his hobbies, which include the publication of a small book on a semi-regular basis.
If you're interested in supporting Dan, you can purchase his book called My Tiny House, his journal called the Moonlight Chronicles, or look around the net for more of his work!
He isn't a man of the stone age, though. He pays $53 a month for a cell phone, and has a MacBook Air, an iPad, and an annual round trip to Hawaii where he spends his winters.
Not a terrible way to live, if you can manage it.
Have you ever heard of something similar?
