20 Ways To Survive The Current Financial Crisis

8. Barter With Friends

If money is tight for you, see if there are creative ways for you to get what you need by trading with someone else.  For example, maybe you know someone who is a hairdresser and you can offer to clean their home in exchange for a haircut. Some of your friends may have also purchased more than they needed, and both of you can trade things. By trading with your friends, it becomes a lot easier to save money.

However, keep in mind that as a society, we are encouraging social distancing. Simply by leaving your house and visiting friends, you are exposing yourself to other people. At the end of the day, you can’t control where they have been. So calculate your risk of exposure before you choose to trade.
