There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees. Charles grows some vegetables and a few flowers. He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops. But Charles appreciates this change. He was pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man. He was tired of being a person who had everything in a world where many people had nothing. He made the choice to give all his noney away. And this, he said, brought him happiness. "a few years ago," says Charles, "I was a millionaire,but was aware there were a lot of hungry people in the world." Therefore he gave away all his money o charities. When he had two thousand dollars left, he gave away samll bank notes in the streets of local poor areas. Did he feel like Father Christmas? " It was a lot of fun," says Charles. Charles believes that many people want to earn a lot of money so that they will not have any worries. However, most people never make much money. Charles Gray decided to drop out and has discovered that having only a little money makes you free. Are there any things he misses? "No, I'm much happier now. I wouldn't go back to being rich for anything -no way."
