Would you like it if, instead of money, you were paid for your labor in goodies? I think it would be fun. Every two weeks, instead of a check, you would receive a sack of goodies (that is, randomized essentials for the average citizen: toilet paper, toothpaste, beans, etc). Yes. Pros and cons could be discussed in the comments, if you'd like.
A sack of "goodies"? That sack of goodies every two weeks won't cover my cable bill, my Internet bill, my mortgage, my water bill, my electric bill, or my credit card bills. Am I supposed to exchange beans for electricity?
I would hate this. I need control over what food is in my house. Also, I'm a vegetarian, and I have medical expenses.
What about things you have to save up for, like a car or a house? Would you just pay for that in bras and coffee filters or whatever?
As long an my landlord is willing to accept two roosters and a goat for rent, i'm down.
Not really. People have bills to pay, and they can't do that with toilet paper or beans.. Besides, with actual money you can choose what you want to buy. I don't want someone to give me random things that I may not even want.
Money was invented to make trade more convenient than barter trade. All you want is to backpedal. If you like toothpaste so much just buy it with your money. Problem solved.
Oh, I like this. I really, really, like this. Of course, those goodies need to involve whiskey, tequila, condoms, lingerie, rope, duck tape, bacon, you get the deal.
I live alone. What do I need bras and maxi pads for? If If I have a girl, *I* don't need to be the one getting the bras and maxi pads, especially if I still keep my place. What if I don't need dog food? What if they pay me in dogs? What if the TV is too small? I assume I won't get another one for years. What if I want 32 GB of RAM and can afford that but don't get it until things many times better come out, because right now it's too rare? Did you get this idea from video game loot drops? I guess you have a gambling personality. But plus 1000 for interestingness.
You can't gamble at a casino/racetrack witha bag of goodies.Maybe you can barter withyour landlord and utilitiy companies depending on what the 'goodies' are.
I find this question cute only b/c you used the word 'goodies' ima pinch your lil cheeks!!!<333
Amazing things can happen when you use food and beer as a motivator. It isn't always about the money.
It's how the world originally traded, when I was a kid, my neighbours would supply us with the best vegetables from their vege patch in return my parents would baby sit their kids.
