It's a simple idea, but it has powerful implications for folks who are trying to stretch their money, are unemployed or who have specific needs they can't afford to hire out.
If you want to save $$, have skills you are willing to share, and want to get a great deal, this is an idea for you.

Wow, Linda! This is such a great idea. It gives equal value to each person participating (because all of our time is valuable) and allows us to be supported by the time we give----always a conundrum for those of us who want to give but need to support ourselves as well.
I hope to get involved with this more in the future. I've shared it on my Facebook page also: Creative Focus | Caroline Quintanilla
Hi Caroline
Time Banking sounds like a wonderful concept and there are some time banks in the area. We all have skills which are "easy" for us but really difficult for others. Let's make some connections, save $$ and make new friends.
