Sometimes I feel that too much of our lives are put out there through social media. I have cut back on what I share and have even tried to unplug from electronics. However I learned I can't stay unplugged for long.
Through social media I am able to see what friends up to and ways they are saving. It's great to have a circle of friends who share photos of their shopping trip with how much they spent out of pocket for the pictured items. More and more I am seeing these types of pictures popping up on my newsfeed and it warms my heart. Knowing others are saving is great. Whether or not I had some influence on them deciding to check out coupons, savings and ways to save or not doesn't matter. Although I would love to hear that because of what I do, I inspired someone else to do it.
In my opinion social media could be used to share tips, stories, what worked for you, what didn't and just encourage each other. Hmm...That gets me thinking. Maybe I should create a group on Facebook to do just that.
I don't know if I consider myself an expert or not, but I do know that I can learn from what others do. I am always open for tips and suggestions on ways to maximize my savings and places to donate items to.
What are your thoughts on Social Media and Savings?
