A free and easy life

AFor many people, life is about working and having a lot of money and possessions. Without these things, your life isn't supposed to be very good. Some people disagree, however. Paul Cortez is one young person who lives an 'alternative lifestyle'.

BPaul lives in a very expensive city, London, but he doesn't mind not having money. He stays in a squat*. It's not his home and he doesn't pay rent money. In many countries, this is not allowed, but in the UK, it's not illegal. He normally spends less than £1 a day.

CPaul doesn't use public transport, and he hasn't got a car. He always rides a bicycle. 'It's cold in the winter, but I prefer it,' he says.

DPaul doesn't have a paid job, but he's not bored. He is allowed to study very cheaply, because he hasn't got a job. He also works at a charity shop. He meets some fascinating people there.

EPaul says that local cafés and supermarkets throw away a lot of good food, and he eats this. On a typical day, he has sandwiches and fresh fruit. Does he miss his favourite foods and drinks? 'Well, a really good coffee, maybe!' he says.

*squat - a squat is a home with squatters in it. A squatter lives in somebody else's home, without permission, and without paying any money. You can do this in the UK, until the home owner tells you to leave.
