This is something that has almost been forgotten about, but in the hard times that we have now it might be worth checking out. BARTER AND TRADE. You have to have something of value that you can trade for what you need. If you have that then this might be of interest to you. Think a service that you can do, printing business cards for an example. Do you have something to trade, a motor home that you do not want any more is an example of this.
Some of them are nation wide, others are more than just this nation. A community of small businesses trading for what their business needs and their family wants... without spending cash. A trusted system. A better way to do business.
These are some of the businesses that you could barter or trade with:
Accounting / bookkeeping
Car repairs
Dentists
Lawyers
Message therapists
Restaurants
Vacation rentals
printing / stationery

It is something to think about when times are more difficult than in years past. How has this helped you? Has it been worth your time and effort?
