Sound financial strategy: being really pleasant

[resonant]

Spouse: Wonder if I have enough trust in the economy to invest in the stock market?
Me: Wonder if I have enough trust in functional local governments to invest in municipal bonds?
Spouse: Is it gold bars under the bed time already?
Me: Your best investment this year may be the gas card you gave your neighbor to say thank you for shoveling the driveway.

The Buy Nothing hyperlocal economies movement is built on this principle. Being Really Pleasant is a good strategy regardless. :)
