I think that Heidemarie is right in her opinion about our society. And many people may think that she’s utterly controversial person because our society doesn’t like being criticized. I agree with her that all jobs are equally important. It’s really hard to imagine world without, e.g. doctors, nurses, teachers but also dustmen, cleaners or shop assistants.

She’s right that most people don’t like their jobs and work just to earn money. It’s easy to imagine happy society, people doing what they like but it’s hardly possible to do. Most people judge you according to how much you earn so they want to earn as much as possible and spend as much as possible to be respected in community. That’s the biggest mistake which people make and it makes them unhappy.

Heidemarie is really intelligent and nice person. I’d like to read her book My life without money and maybe meet some day. As I said I think that she’s right so I share her views about money and society but I’m not so brave as her and I think that live as Heidemarie would be for me impossible.

I personally think Heidemarie Schwermer is right in her opinion thal all jobs are equally important.I can't imagine world without jobs like opticians,teachers,car mechanics or doctors.It's impossible.It happens often that most people don't like their jobs.People do something what they don't like,they do it just to earn some money and spend it on things,which they don't need.

I agree with Heidemarie completely that people judge you according to how much you earn,so they want to earn as much as possible and spend it in a short time to be respected in the community.I think that Heidemarie is very intelligent,sensible and nice woman.I would like to read her book,which she has written about her experiences.It's called"My life without money".I'm sure if I read it,I will know how did her life look.I would like to meet her and talk about her experiences.I think that I would be her friend.Live as Heidemarie would be impossible for me.

I agree with Heidemarie that all jobs are equally important. Some of them seem to be less important, but I it isn`t true. For example, how would streets look like if there weren`t any dustmen? Maybe only those old jobs like a potter aren`t needed now, but they were important in the past.

I don`t think that people don`t like theirs jobs. Nowadays people want to be successful, so they do lots of things and finally they find what they want.

There`re some people who judge anothers according to how much they earn, but I recon
that they`re exceptions. Now we judge people according to their skills, job or just personality.

Heidemarie is a person who wanted to change her live and she managed to do it. She could be an example to follow but not exactly in living without money but in fulfilling desires. She`s unusal and worth a lot as a person.

It can be a very interesting experience to have a friend like Heidemarie. I could definitely learn a lot from her like how to respect people`s labour and help each other in everyday`s life.

Yes, in my opinion all jobs are equally important, because I think of our society like of an enormous mechanism. If any, even the smallest piece of this machine is missing, then the whole community will suffer.

I know many pepole who love thier jobs and they work with true passion. At the other hand, there are even more people who don't even know what they are working for. However, we don't live in Middle Age – if we really want, we can easily find a satisfying and suitable job for us.

It's true that there was a tendency towards judging people according to how much they earn. But this eerie trend have died off. My generation pay a lot more attention on one's character and
how someone behaves. These things are much more important.

Heidemarie is an interesting person with uncommon lifestyle. I'd like to meet her so I can understand her way of thinking. I can't imagine myself living like her. However, I think it would be fun to try this 'life without money' style for a week or two. It would be great experience.

The story of Heidemarie made me shocked. Why? Before reading that text, I had always thought about living without money as the worst thing which can happen to someone.
I’ve found out that money isn’t the most important.
What I agree with Heidemarie in? Obviously, that all jobs are equally important. How could the butcher work without cattle reared by farmer? Most of jobs are addicted of other and many would be meaningless without existing another one. On the second hand people don’t like their jobs, because sometimes choice of work isn’t their will. They have to earn money doing something what they don’t want to do. The next problem, people’s habits are strange, and most of us judge others by measure of thickness of a wallet. It’s silly, mainly when those ‘judges’ earns not really more. Thing that Heidemarie did was the best exam of existing without money, great experience which gives us example, that real people’s personality is shown, when they need no money, but the help and care of others. Heidemarie showed that the most important in life is living with people in a friendly manner, helping them and taking help without any payment, so it’s obvious that I’d like to have her as a friend.

Heidemarie finds all jobs equally important and I do agree with her. Just like in Tuwim’s poem, someone has a work to do that the next person could do his job and everyone could was glad. As I said „ The baker must have shoes, so he must go to schoemaker. But if not baker, the schoemaker wouldn’t have bread.”

Most people don’t like their jobs ? I could partly agree with that.
Of course there are people who work just to live and they don’t have many choises. Nevertheless there are people who love their job, it’s their hobby, so they can work and have a good time at the same moment.

People judge you according to how much you earn. Unfortunatly I must agree with that.
Just like in proverb „A friend in need is a friend indeed” when we have much money we have many friends, but when we’re broken they stop to meet us.

I think that Heidemarie proved us that you don’t have to earn a lot to be worth a lot as a person. I also find she could be a great friend because she does see human as a human not money.

I think Heidemarie was right in her opinion that all jobs are equally important. None of us can't imagine world without job like doctors, teachers,cleaners or dustmens.
I don't agree with Heidemarie that people don't like their jobs. A lot of them are doing what they want to do and what's their hobby.
Furthermore many people think that money brings happiness, so they want to have a good job. A lot of think that good work fulfil them. According to them, thanks to money you can forget day on day, down to earth problems.
I think people unfortunately judge you according to how much you earn. And when you've got a lot of money they simulate your friends.
I think that Heidemarie is person with absolutely individual character. I think I want to meet her one day.

I think Heidemarie’s opinion that all jobs are equally important is right. Why? Because someone must do food, or be a policeman, fireman, lifeguard etc. Without some jobs life would be much harder or absolutely impossible.
That isn’t true that most people don’t like their jobs. Of course sometimes people hate their jobs, but in world exist a lot of interesting jobs like sportsman, soldier or teacher;). On the other hand, I understand people who don’t like their jobs, if they are a streets cleaner etc.
That’s right that people judge you according to how much you earn. They think that poor people aren’t important in our society. However everyone has own story, and everyone is a valuable person.
In my opinion Heidemarie’s brave and original person. Her decision about her way of life is strange but interesting. Also she’s resourceful because life without money isn’t easy, I think. Meeting with Heidemarie would be interesting experience and she would be my friend because her opinions about life are similar than mine.

I agree with Heidemarie that all jobs are equally important.
I think that life is not dependent from only one executable profession by somebody, but from other also. Important is pursuant person not only important profession , but also persons pursuant unimportant profession.

People are often educate for earn a lot of money. When they earn a lot it does not prevent that they do not like their work. I think that better earn less and like own job than earn a lot but do not like own job.

In my opinion people judge others according to how much you earn. Nowadays people grant estimate people who earn a lot of money, but I think that thickness of briefcase it does not important but this how kind of people we are.

I am sure that Heidemarie is a very courageous and nice person. She also must be charming old women because people help her and they give wanted things for her.
I would like that Heidemarie become my friend because she is very interesting person with interesting views about money.

I agree with Heidemarie that all jobs are equally important. We need garbage workers to have clean streets, baker to have bread, accountant to get help with book-keeping, policeman to feel save etc. Without all this jobs life will be more difficult.

I know many people who like their jobs, for example my parents and some who works just for money. It depends on what this person wants: money or job satisfaction. But if someone is qualified worker he/she would find a job where he/she would be a good worker what means to be satisfied of this job, too.

There is some people who judge us according to how much do we earn, but there are the others, too and they judge us according to how do we look like, what personality, job or friends do we have.

I think Heidemarie is a very brave woman and determined to live without money for that long. I admire her, because I can’t even imagine how could I live without money and she’s doing it for ten years!

I’d like to have her as a friend, because I’d like to learn how to really live life don’t matter about the money.

Heidemarie Schwermer has lived without money for the last ten years. She has written a book about her experiences called "My live without money". All the money she earned from the book she decided to give away.
I admired her because she give up with comfortable life. I want to have a friend like her. I can think like her. Many people think that money brings happiness. In my opinion money have nothing to do with happiness. You can buy clothes or car for money but I believe You cannot buy love, friendship or health for any money.
A lot of people have a well-paid job because want to have a lot of money. People who spend whole days on earn money affirm after years that money doesn't make them happy and that's why they don't like them job.
People judge you according to how much you earn. Many people want to have rich friends. I think that it isn't important that my one friend is rich and have a good job, and second is poor and he's unemployment. For me important is what person he is.
I agree with Heidemarie that all job are equally important, every career is equally need. I can't imagine world without doctors, teachers, cleaners or dustmens.

To begin with, i want to say, what mean for us job or work? Alongside with changing world, people and jobs are changing too. Work’s a part of our life, usually gives opportunities develop of career. But sometimes it can be hard.

And we’ve first question : Are all jobs equally important?
In my opinion …yes, there’re. All kind of jobs are dependent on themselves and important. Can you imagine, world without doctor or policeman?- A lot of people will die or many flats can be rob. We need bakers or managers, because we can’t do everything ourselves and we must care about our world.

I think most people like their jobs, but also there’re who don’t. Usually people search jobs when they’ll have large salary and (second) they do what they’re interesting in.

Is correct, that sometimes people are judge according to how much earn.
Of course, most of us would like have friends who earn lots of money, but also is matter personality and create.

I’m sure, Heidemarie’s interested person. She can prove, that we can live without money, and forces about thinking. She can be my friend, but she wouldn’t teach me her opinions, because I have different view about money.

Well, I think Heidemarie is very wise woman and I can’t deny that she is right. Obviously all jobs are equally important. Some of that are even addicted to each other e.g. a driver and a doctor. Seemingly this first doesn’t look indispensable but we can see that sometimes it helps a lot! Also without some jobs life would be really hard. However everybody makes them easier.

I agree that many people don’t like their jobs, but is it really majority? We can’t dispose this ‘phenomenon’, it depends to people characters. Some people just wanna earn a lot, but we can’t forget about they who do something cause they like it.

It’s also true that people judge us according to our money. If we haven’t got cash, we’re often unnecessary. They treat us like worse ‘race’. People believe that money give us happiness and authority so they want to be closer money and exploit it to raise their status in society.

I truly admire Heidemarie and her determination. She’s a kind of person from whose we could learn much things. I would be really enjoy to meet her one day.

Well, I think that Haidemarie’s opinion about jobs is the same as mine.I think that all jobs are equally important because without some of them we couldn’t correctly perform. For example I think that living in today’s world without doctors, teachers or builders is impossible.

Most people don’t like their jobs. I think it’s because not everyone are educated exactly how they would like to be. They do what they have to do, not what they like to do. Second reason: people are always more greedy than sensible. That’s why they do anything to earn as much as possible.

Of course, most people judge you according to how much you earn, but not all of them. I think that many people judge you according your skills and experience. I’m personally trying to judge human by looking at his personality. I think it’s more important than money you’ve got.

Haidemarie is very interesting person. Hers life style is originally but to difficult to me. I wouldn’t carry on it, but I’d like to have her as a friend.

I think that all jobs are very important because widaouth some jobs live won't be as good as it is now for explane if there are no cleaners our schools and streets will be very dirty and in short time there will be so much garbage that you won't go thru it.

I agree with that most people don't like their jobs. sometimes people must do some kind of job even then they don't like it, because they must earn money to live. Very often young people who just end school must quikly get a job to buy their own house ano have money for parties. But some lucky people heve work which they love and go to it with smiles on their faces.

I think that there aren't many people who judge another poeple according to how much they earn, people don't care about how many money have another man more important for them is that what character have this man.
