[00:01.43]There is a small garden outside
[00:03.01]with a few fruit trees.
[00:04.89]Charles grows some vegetables and a few flowers
[00:07.78]He gets his clothes and a lot of other things

[00:12.16]But Charles appreciates this change.
[00:15.12]He was pleased to give up the lifestyle
[00:16.88]of a rich man.
[00:18.43]He was tired of being a person
[00:19.60]who had everything in a world
[00:21.70]where many people had nothing.
[00:23.99]He made the choice to give all his noney away.
[00:26.88]And this, he said, brought him happiness.
[00:30.33]"a few years ago," says Charles,
[00:32.81]"I was a millionaire,but was aware there were
[00:35.89]a lot of hungry people in the world."

[00:43.15]When he had two thousand dollars left,

[00:47.22]in the streets of local poor areas.
[00:50.41]Did he feel like Father Christmas?"
[00:52.76]It was a lot of fun," says Charles.
[00:56.34]Charles believes that many people
[00:57.92]want to earn a lot of money
[00:59.41]so that they will not have any worries.

[01:04.87]Charles Gray decided
[01:06.22]to drop out and has discovered that having
[01:08.43]only a little money makes you free.
[01:11.23]Are there any things he misses?"
[01:14.08]No, I'm much happier now.
[01:16.85]I wouldn't go back to being rich
[01:18.31]for anything -no way."
