So in our old neighborhood, there was a community Facebook page and it was fun to see people just posting things up for free.

We actually got a $400 play set for free.

And then when we moved, we passed it on to another neighbor.

So I just really want to challenge people.

Pay it forward.

to pay it forward but also just think before you just go out and buy something think through you know is there a way to potentially share this and get it for free just like change your mindset from the instant buys to more of a community and you may be able to do this in your church in your neighborhood maybe you join a local buy now group or not by now say bye now

Buy nothing.

Buy nothing, group.

Opposite of buy now.

But change your mindset around that.

That's one of the greatest things with frugality.

I think a lot of our grandparents did this naturally, right?

Like we're millennials and we're sitting there going, we came up with a group.

It's an official title.

We're so clever.

But this is something that people did naturally.

just naturally back in the day but our generation has amazon we have all these one-click ordering solutions where we just buy so quickly but stop and think you know how can we share more as a community so we're not constantly just spending money that's not necessary this is like take a penny leave a penny for the modern world i miss those you know you were short you're like oh perfect there's a little little thing of pennies right there i don't have to come up with the extra change

Does it make you less angry than the Starbucks like pay it forward movement?

We all share.

Yep.
