Rebeca and Emily,
Loved your money-saving tips for your household and your emphasis on including others and having fun!
Great….some really innovative strategies for saving money, having fun, and developing strong relationships with housemates and the community.
Great ideas! Save money and create community.
Love it!
Are you guys trying out for a Portlandia skit?
Great money saving ideas and it sounds like you’re having fun along the way!
This is great. I’m definitely going to hold a clotting swap.
These are not only great for saving money but for building community and protect the planet
This is a great video. I’ve tried to vote for it for a couple days now but the “Vote for this video!” button is not working
Thanks for voting in the contest. The vote button resets once every 24 hours. All of the finalist videos were posted yesterday, so you’ll have another chance to vote soon. Thanks again for voting!
Love all your ideas; especially love the ‘working together’ ethic. You are building a lasting relationship with your friends and your community. I applaud you. Video is great!
I can’t tell if my vote went through! Thanks for the inspirational ideas. I like that you are connecting personal and community.
Fabulous ideas. I’ve got to organize my network of friends now!
Nicely done ladies! Simple and sweet..
it’s great to teach people to save on family …
very good ..!
Some good ideas on savings for people of all generations. There is an old saying: “That money speaks, I cannot deny – I heard it once – it said goodbye”. Spending wisely is important.
Guys, keep up the great work.. Very useful ideas and suggestions on how we can reduce the cost of living.
Excellent tips on how to economize. Not depending on TV and cable is a tremendous savings that we might try in the future also! Voted!
It’s like to TV show Portlandia, except I keep waiting for the jokes, and they never come.
This is the second time that I’ve tried to vote for this, and haven’t been able to.
I really enjoyed watching your video and hearing about your great ideas for saving. We will definitely give a few a try in our household. Great work!
soup swap boyeee!!
Great ideas for how to save money while still having fun. Clear and engaging presentation as well.
Great video ladies! Chock-full of practical and fun ideas to save money. Bravo!
This video gets better with age. Young people with wisdom as well as energy, can’t beat it!
Felicidades Beca, Tu estas inspirando a este pais a vivir de una manera diferente.
Although the voting has been extended through today, the 29th, there doesn’t seem to be any way to vote. Each time I click on the Equifax Finance Blog and then go to this video, there is no place to vote. When I click on continue, it just circles around again. Frustrating. I had trouble yesterday, too. Is voting still open through today or not?
