Sex + Resourceful Adult = Trade

Men want money & power.

Why?

Because they want to get laid. They want sex.
They cannot fight their biological urge, which is to leave offspring.

You can easily assume they tend to want to go over the edge on their
sexual drive --->

Go get females to have sex.

Women want security.

Why?

Because they want to save themselves and her offspring.

Yes, so they tend to go after men with money and power = *security*

What we have here is:

- Men want money and power for sex to leave offspring.
- Women want security for sex to save offspring.

*offspring* is the common word in both sexes.

We want our offspring=children to live
in happiness, in natural, clean and beautiful environment
that we have been enjoying somewhat irresponsibly,

like oil spill, earthquakes, flood and storms are just
symptoms of Mother Earth being clogged of
toxins that we humans excrete.

If we want our children and the future generations
to have the same happiness of
hiking in peaceful mountains,
swimming in a clean sea,
skiing in the real snow,
walking in a virgin forest,
looking at the golden sunset over the horizon
and looking at the morning sun rise above the horizon again,

we must upgrade our life.

In our new upgraded life, we:

---> Buy (consume) less and thus spend less money so we work less.

When you work less, you have more time for our family, friends and ourselves!

You may have less money to spend to buy stuff because you are not working as much.

But don't panic. You have more than you have in your hands, literally.

One of the things you do when you are low in cash supply = use different supply of resource:

Trade (barter) - Direct Exchange of Service/Goods with no middlemen(=hidden cost), like money.

If you cannot pay for things, say, a 2nd-hand bicycle for $100, try to see if you can do something for the bike owner (shop or person) in exchange for the bike. See if you have any skills, cleaning house, massage, making clothes, repairing things, running errands, babysitting, cooking, or helping with whatever for him/her/shop, or exchange some stuff you don't need anymore.

I know it may sound a bit strange first, but try it anyway. You got nothing to lose but having an opportunity to have what you want with no cash and end up helping someone and getting to know more people in the process.

The more middleman (money, retail shops, export/import companies, transportation for the stuff to the shop) you eliminate, the closer you are to the true cost of the stuff.

Not for everyone, I know. But if you are a bit on the shy edge, you can try to do the whole transaction online so you would have less exposure to direct rejection (it's only business..).

Okay, let's put it into practice:

1) Think of 3 skills that you can exchange for stuff.
2) Find some stuff you like to have on the internet at a local online classified.
3) Email the contact person and ask if they are open to bartering (use your service/time as money) opportunity.

That's it!

You'll start to figure out the way to write an email that catches people's attention and make you appear trustworthy of your professionalism that you say in your initial email offer.

And of course, you have to deliver your service in utmost professional manner like you are getting paid for it (and you are, directly as a payment of the bike!).

Good luck in your transaction!
