Don't Buy/Borrow

My co-worker complained that she wanted to do more with her kids, but that it was too expensive to take them to movies or buy them things. I suggested she go to the library and borrow books and movies. I go to the library almost every week. I don't think I've rented a movie, bought a book or game in several months, not when I can borrow them. Books and movies are free--unless you get a late fee, which I do sometimes. As far as video games, I never have to purchase those as long as my fiance works at GameStop, where he gets to borrow them for free, not to mention our friends who are generous about loaning games they haven't played in awhile. Speaking of borrowing, it's a good idea to borrow halloween costumes and dresses for formal occasions whenever possible. Why buy something you only get to use once. Rylee looked really cute in a leapard costume a co-worker of mine made for her grandaughter, and I'm sure she was happy to get some extra use out of something she spent so much time making. Math is not my strong point, but I figure I save hundreds of dollars a year borrowing instead of purchasing.
