Sample issue

Hi there,

This issue's idea: a street tool list

Most households own a drill, a ladder and a few garden tools that sit unused nearly all year. A simple shared list for your street or building, showing who has what and is happy to lend it, means nobody else has to buy one.

Something worth sharing this month

A bulk bag of rice or a big tin of coffee, split three ways. The unit price is often lower, and nobody ends up with a year's supply. See Bulk buying with friends.

Reader question

"My coworker drives me every day. What's a fair amount to pay?" A common approach is to split the real costs: gas, parking, tolls and a little for wear. Our carpool calculator helps you find a number you both feel good about.

Better together,
