Our economic reality has changed recently because of shifts in the financial landscape. Using what you have, replacing things you want with things you need is all the rage these days. It is also becoming clear that there is value in things that you already have. ...that movie you will never watch again might actually be worth something. ‘The Magic Choo Choo Train’ might be someone’s favorite movie in the whole world. You can sell the movie to a local Media Marten owner and make a few dollars. Then take that money and put it in the kids college fund. A DVD that you use as coaster just contributed to your child’s education. Finding the value in things you already have can be fun and beneficial.
