Woman Hasn’t Used Money Or Credit in 15 Years – With Video

Heidemarie-Schwermer-550x356.jpg

Heidemarie Schwermer, a 69-year-old woman from Germany, gave up using money 15 years ago and says she’s been much happier ever since.

Heidemarie’s incredible story began 22 years ago, when she, a middle-aged secondary school teacher emerging from a difficult marriage, took her two children and moved to the city of Dortmund, in Germany’s Ruhr area. One of the first things she noticed was the large number of homeless people, and this shocked her so much that she decided to actually do something about it. She had always believed the homeless didn’t need actual money to be accepted back into society, only a chance to empower themselves by making themselves useful, so she opened a Tauschring (swap shop), called “Gib und Nimm” (Give and Take).

Her small venture was a place where anyone could trade stuff and skills for other things and skills they needed, without a single coin or banknote changing hands. Old clothes could be traded in return for kitchen appliances, and car service rendered in return for plumbing services, and so on. The idea didn’t really attract many of Dortmund’s homeless, because, as some of them told her to her face, they didn’t feel an educated middle-class woman could relate to their situation. Instead, her small shop was assaulted by many of the city’s unemployed and retired folk eager to trade their skills and old stuff for something they needed. Heidemarie Schwermer’s Tauschring eventually became somewhat of a phenomenon in Dortmund and even prompted its creator to ask herself some questions about the life she was living.

She started to realize she was living with a lot of stuff she didn’t really need and initially decided not to buy anything else without giving something away. Then she realized how unhappy she was with her work and made the connection between this feeling and the physical symptoms (backache and constant illness) she was feeling, so she decided to take up other jobs. She began washing dishes for 10 Deutchmarks an hour, and despite many were telling her things like “You went to university, you studied to do this?”, she felt good about herself, and didn’t feel like she should be valued more because of her studies than someone working in a kitchen. By 1995, the Tauschring had changed her life so much that she was spending virtually nothing, as everything she needed seemed to find its way into her life.

So in 1996. she took the biggest decision of her life: to live without money. Her children had moved out so she sold the apartment in Dortmund and decided to live nomadically, trading things and services for everything she needed. It was supposed to be a 12-month experiment, but found herself loving it so much that she just couldn’t give it up. 15 years later, she still lives according to the principles of Gib und Nimm, doing various chores for accommodation in the houses of various members of the Tauschring, and loving every minute of it. Schwermer has written two books about her experience of living without money and asked her publisher to give the money to charity so it can make many people happy instead of just one. She’s just happy being healthier and better off than ever before.

All of her belongings fit into a single-back suitcase and a rucksack, she has emergency savings of €200 and any other money she comes across, she gives away. Heidemarie doesn’t even have health insurance as she didn’t want to be accused of stealing from the state, and says she relies on the power of self-healing whenever she gets a little sick.

  • Instead of money we could have a welfare card. This card to every single person, but parents could use this card for their children. In this card "everyone" could get what is needed. This card pays for health, food, school, etc.

    I believe it was Martinus who saw a future with welfare cards. This system will be good and benifit us all. No one would be slave of money. People will still work, but lesser. This in combination with new technology will be good for planet earth.

    Dark Cabal has a Satanic solution with no cash, but with microchip in hand or head. This, will never be a reality, i suggest and hope.

    I also believe the Inner Earth has a good solution for us, NESARA or a NESARA type system..

  • Money and Religion are one of the main problems that are holding us in 3rd Dimension and both need to be out of our system as we are all one and should live equally among ourselves. Some Religions may have some good points but mainly greed, business and politics have taken over instead of Unconditional love and devotion
  •  

    These two videos are just to give you some ideas what systems people are trying but EVENTUALLY WE NEED TO GET MONEY OUT OF OUR LIVES...NO CURRENCY BUT BARTER AND SHARE AND CARE SYSTEM

  • The Inner Earth Beings barter, share and care for each other and this policy is what is required for Surface people as well and the sooner the better.
  • Hi,

     

    Really a very beautiful one ...

     

    Hoping that this will soon come into our lives. ....

     

    It will make our lives extremely peaceful ... as the worry to earn more and more will be gone ...

     

    Lets see .... what happens :

     

    Let Love, Light and Divinity fill us all ............................

     

  • I really enjoyed this!

     

    Koa Windsong hasn't set foot in a bank in 25 years. 

  • Like rune handberg commented:

    Money are one of many layout which hold us in 3-dimension, duality. Thats obvious. Money, Religions, Governments, Bankers, Education system, traditions, culture (Some of it), military, police. these are all stones in duality 3-d, and it will be a hack of a challenge to get free from it. But we will during the next months/years, because in 5-dimension Earth we have to live without, like the people in Inner Earth and our Star family do. We go in that direction !

    WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE NEED FOR MONEY, RELIGIONS, GOVERNMENTS, BANKERS, EDUCATION SYSTEMS, TRADITIONS, CULTURE ( some of it ),MILITARY, POLICE....and a few more TO MAKE OUR WAY CLEAR TO 5TH DIMENSION LIFESTYLE

    One suggestion is ASHTARCOMMANDCREW has a meet up group..IN THE SAME WAY WE SHOULD FORM ASHTARCOMMAND COMMUNITY GROUPS ( that live together as ASHTARCOMMAND COMMUNITY )THROUGHOUT THE WORLD...that would start living a 5th Dimensional lifestyle.



  • We have to work out a plan for FOOD, CLOTHING, ACCOMMODATION, without needing money....THE IDEA IS... SIMPLE LIVING HIGH THINKING....by High Thinking i mean leading a Spiritual life following the Spiritual Hierarchy
  • We need to form a Group on this site ON WAYS TO LIVE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR MONEY...we need to get rid of money from our lives to get to 5th Dimension
