One of the cool things about time banking is users are encouraged to spend their hours because they don't earn interest and it does you no good to 'save' them so you can get out and try all sorts of cool stuff and trade offs that you may not have ever thought you'd try. This is a great 6 min video on a popular Vermont Time Bank that discusses the benefits and interviews users http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3kJ5QB6Htk You may also want to check out our <a href="http://ccmag.net" rel="nofollow">Community Currency Magazine</a> each month for more info.

Interesting to see all of the innovation that comes from a down economy. Can't wait to hear about how this works out. Makes sense to me.

It's a trade -- I put in so many hours to write a brochure for you, and that time "earns" me an equal number of hours that somebody else does yard work for me.
