This Could Be Your Life!

A guide to a shareable life. This could be your life: You wake up and whip up omelets with tomatoes fresh from your SharedEarth.com garden before dressing your toddler in Gap cargo pants you scored on Thredup. Your Zimride whisks you to the office where you race to your Freecycle laptop to book your anniversary getaway-a cozy Parisian flat-on AirBnB. To zip around to the afternoon meetings you arranged at LiquidSpaces, you unlock your VW RelayRide in the parking lot. When you realize you forgot to buy those new nightstands, you hire a runner on TaskRabbit to swing by Ikea, pick them up, and assemble them with a drill borrowed from NeighborGoods. After this exhausting day, you arrive home to a hot filet mignon dinner for two from Gobble and two copies of Fodor's Paris BookCrossing resting on your new nightstands. Does that sound good? George Jetson esque? It is happening right now in America and will be the new marketing of products, services, and change the way we view ownership for the future.  I pose this question to you...do you really need to own a car if you only drive 1-2 hours each day?  Could it be better to reserve a car from a pool of vehicles for the times you need one or must you be able to look out in the driveway and see that baby sitting there?

Do we own stuff or does it own us? This Purple Heart Stamp thing really set me off and to thinking about what we Americans do honor.

We get praise and pats on the back for buying a new car or truck no matter whether it is electric or not, boats, swimming pools, home theater systems you get the idea. All material things that in themselves have no meaning at all. Do we seek to congratulate the Dad or Mom that purchases life insurance to provide for the family if they die prematurely...of course not, that's no fun. How about the family that plants a big garden and teaches their kids how to raise their own vegetables or take them to the local farmers market to learn about farming and raising quality good food...nay, that's no fun. We are so brainwashed and trained by the News Media, Madison Avenue and Wall Street to behave and perform like trained seals when we, or a friend buy their products...convincing us that our quality of life will improve if we just own stuff! Well I say to hell with them I won't behave anymore like their trained seal. I will create my own whenever I can and buy from the little guy when I can't make it myself. Then I will feel proud that I own the best thing to own...myself and it ain't for sale anymore
