9. That's why I'm starting up a co-operative living village
When we're all out of jobs with no homes and no more money in the bank you're right, we'll be screwed with nowhere to run.

I'm starting up a village now. I'm looking for others who can see the growing danger(s) and know that there is safety in numbers.

Why own a washer/dryer when you use them only 4 or 5 hours a week? Let the co-op buy it and you use it for free.

Why own a million other things that you will honestly not use that much? Let the co-op own those things and you use it for free.

Some people wouldn't mind sharing a car, co-op will buy one and we all share it. Others need a car (or feel they do). Ok. Go ahead and buy your own and have it only for yourself. The village isn't going to force you to save. Freedom is shared, too.

The co-op village let's you save on the things you want or don't mind sharing. Like a riding lawn mower. Or power tools. Or a power washer, etc. Going a little farther, we all contribute $20 a month for solar panels and share the savings on our electricity bill.

Who will stand with me to build a common cause effort that will save us all money.
