A Web Site that Helps You Save Money – and Space
Hello fellow money handlers! I think the crisis in recent years has helped us develop strategies to reduce our spending and focus on where it really matters. Here is a way to do that and have fun at the same time! I have recently come across the web site, NeighborGoods, where its community promotes the continual use of already used goods. You know that thing you always felt too bad to throw away, hiding in the back of that kitchen cabinet or in a storage box in the basement or even worse…the garage, taking up perfectly good car space? This web site has paved the way for a new online community, where those items can be bought, sold, and even borrowed. I have discovered people on this site to provide anything from a vintage guitar to a cheese grater. Although, I doubt one was exchanged for the other. The point is, it can be! Photographs are posted by members, giving their “neighbors” an idea of what they’re getting into. They also provide the terms and conditions that neighbors borrowing must accept upon consideration.
The next time you decide to do a good house/apartment cleaning, I hope this message will be in the back of your head encouraging you to confront that fear of dealing with those mystery boxes you have stewing around, as I know we can all relate to. Clearing the load is just a mouse-click away, and the best part is you get to meet people, build the community you want by inviting your friends, and keep a little more money in your wallet while you’re at it. Happy savings!
