What are the ways that rich people give away free stuff? Every year trillions of dollars - you read that right - are redistributed as the rich of the world throw away, sell for cheap, donate or invest. There are many examples such as the Giving Pledge founded by Warren Buffet and Bill Gates with total charitable donations surpassing 350 billion dollars.

"Another month passed. The urge to buy is decreasing. Sometimes I see good deals and I'm seduced in a jiffy. Mostly about clothes." Thus wrote Jannie Spruit on her blog Eenvoudigwit (in Dutch) in February 2012 about her initiative to not buy anything for one year.

Nothing is more fun than making and repairing your own clothes. A sewing machine is a great tool to do this and it's not hard to handle. You just have to learn it!

You can patch pants or make a bag from old t-shirts. Or make your own pants. Sewing is also fun to do in a group. There are likely to be more people in your neighborhood that like sewing. You can learn from each other. The only thing to do is to find them. Ask around in your group of friends, check Meetup or post an ad in your local supermarket.
