Do the Amish people use money?
Yes, but their wealth is based not on how much money they earn, but on how much money they keep. They do not buy things that are not needed, such as electrical gadgets, electronic gizmos, cars, insurance, etc. The money is saved for the purchase of farm land or to start an Amish business. So while the average non-Amish becomes a slave to the debt master and the task master, the average Amish owns land and/or a business and their only master is God.

Answer2: The Amish are descendants of a group of 17th-century Anabaptists. Their name derives from their leader, Jacob Amman, who lived in Switzerland. From their study of the Bible back then, these God-fearing people recognized that infant baptism and military service were wrong. Because of their stand, the government persecuted them. A few even paid for their religious conviction with their lives. Persecution continued to increase, and a number of them were forced to flee to other parts of Switzerland and to France. By the middle of the 19th century, thousands had fled to the United States. With them, they brought their culture and the Swiss German dialect.
