Instead of paying each other back with money, my friends and I exchange crafts, lessons, car rides and meals to repay one another. I find that the things I have received in exchange have always felt more worthwhile and useful in the long run :)
Money is overrated. Lets TRADE!!! Just like pokemon cards. I forget too often how much I love bartering then I remember and get filled with such joy. someone gives you a ride? Forget money. give them their favorite candy. Bake them some cookies. Wanna spend nothing? Draw them something cute. use your skills!! take them to the park!!
I love bartering π«Άπ«Άπ«Ά

a pound bag of coffee beans I got free from work in exchange for tuning up my bike.. yes please
the circular economy my friends n I have created xx (idk what circular economy is but it sounds right)
