Bartering


What is bartering?

Bartering is an exchange, is when you change something for another something. Bartering is a trade.


Why did the bartering begin?

I think that it began by the necessity to save money. In this moment all the things are much more expensive than ten years ago. For that reason is convenient to do bartering, and at the same time to save money and to get the things that we wished.


Do I have barter network in my community?

I do not have bartering in my community but I think that it would be a good idea because all the people need some things. Also it is a way to save money. Also is a form to know new people.


Do I prefer to save my money or spend my money?

I prefer to save my money because it is very important for me to always have money. When I need something or I have an emergency it is too hard not to have money in that moment. For this reason I do not use credit card, only debit, because it is too hard to pay each month much money.


Do I have some other form to save my money?

Really I do not know if I have a for to save my money, but what I do is buy in especial stores. For example in Outlets or in thrift stores. The clothes are very cheap and you can find many brands. Also you have to know to choose your cloth very well because sometimes is old the fashion, but going to outlet is a good form to save money and get good clothes.

You're very good at money management. Many people get into debt for using credit cards.

Hello Grecia!!!!
Well first I think that you article about bartering said a lot about that. I don't like really bartering. But people in the past needed to do that because that was the only form to get somthings. Right now I think the best form is the outles that you said, because you buy new things in low prices.
That's all at the moment
I see you late
bye
