A man without money – Listening comprehension

The American who quit money to live in a cave (https://www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-17762033/the-

american-who-quit-money-to-live-in-a-cave)
Daniel Suelo lives in caves in the canyonlands of Utah. He survives by
harvesting wild foods and eating roadkill.
He has no job, no bank account and does not accept government
welfare. In fact, Suelo has no money at all.
Suelo may have shunned all the trappings of modern American life,
but he is not an isolationist.
Since abandoning money in 2000, the former cook from Moab, Utah
has remained an active member of his community and avid blogger.
Mark Sundeen, author of The Man Who Quit Money, admits many people would regard Suelo's alternative lifestyle
as bizarre. But the 2008 financial crash has led many to question the value of money. He explains some of the lessons
found in Suelo's philosophy.
