On Friday I went to the 27Dinner with Telana and Mongezi.  I love telling people about about my crazy ideas and I was really looking forward to seeing how the geeks would respond. I got one response in particular that I did not expect!

The gentleman featured in the video below was fine with me living without money for 5 years…but when he heard about my other goal he was rather skeptical to say the least! If you don’t know what I am talking about let me refresh your memory.

Living without money doesn’t mean I can’t earn money, it just means I can’t use any of it for my own needs…I have to give it away. In fact, my idea to live without money evolved out of my idea to give as much money away as possible. A few months ago, friend suggested to me over coffee that I should make my goal measurable – so I came up with a number…a really really BIG number!

R555 555 555.55

That’s right! Five hundred and fifty five million, five hundred and fifty five thousand, five hundred and fifty five rand and fifty five cents!

When I told the guy in this video that I was going to give so much money away…he didn’t quite believe me. Now that is quite understandable, I don’t expect many people to believe me (sometimes I even doubt myself…not often but it doesn’t happen often…LOL). What did surprise me though, was the degree of his disbelief and the lengths he threatened to go to if (and when) I do succeed. Intrigued…

I hope you enjoyed this video…there will be more to come. Thanks Telana for playing camera person!
