Bartering

Yes, it's back or at least it's more popular again. My daughter recently exchanged personal training sessions for getting her apartment cleaned. During my pet sitting career I had a wonderful client who was an interior designer. I exchanged pet sitting services for interior designing consultation! Believe me I could never have afforded her expertise and taste level otherwise. My living room never looked better! You just have to figure out the cost exchange!

Free Stuff

Travel and explore the world - Read!
Your local library is one of the best places and the easiest to get free stuff and books are an easy and inexpensive way to travel and explore the world without really leaving home! Libraries are fabulous places that not only have regular books you can borrow! Most have audio books, e-books, videos, DVDs, computers, training courses, meeting spaces and lots more. If you haven't visited one lately, you don't know what you're missing! And go to more than one - the closest one might be convenient, but another one in your county might have different things to offer! And all for the price of a library card - also free! Overwhelmed when you first walk in with everything there is to offer? Ask at the desk, most often they have the nicest folks working there who are happy to help you find what you want or didn't even know that you wanted.
