When working out your personal finances, there are many methods you can use to get creative with saving money.
I want to know the unique ways you've cut back on spending by sharing with others.
Maybe you were able to afford a home through purchasing a place with a couple of close friends, and you're now happily living together.
Or, when you and your S.O. go out for a date and need someone to watch your kids, you could invite your neighbors to join you while their child hangs out at your place. This way, you all can enjoy a fun double date, and everyone saves on babysitting costs.
Perhaps your group of friends chooses to share skills with each other in lieu of payment. For example, your buddy who's a chef makes food for your special occasions, while you provide some household services they need help with.
What are the innovative ways you've learned to save money or afford things by sharing? Tell me in the comments below, or if you'd prefer to remain anonymous, fill out this Google form here. Your response could be included in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
