Could exchanging skills with friends help save money?

I read somewhere that a girl and her friends are exchanging skills with each other. For example, one friend can cut hair, another can cook, and a third can paint nails. Meanwhile, she bakes cookies. They exchange their skills for free; she bakes cookies while her friend cut her hair, and so on, at no cost. I think it's a wonderful idea. What do you think?

If you have a friend who agrees to this, then yes it's a good way to save money but not everyone would be willing to do this.

That is a good collaboration. Using complementary skills and help each other. That can of course save money for each one of them.

That's a really powerful idea! Sharing skills without money is a way to help each other and save money. It's like having a team of talents—one person does your hair, another cooks for you, you bring your delicious cookies. It increases friendships, builds community, and everyone benefits. This is a real-life example, not everything has to be a business. With people like that, life is easier and happier. We need more of this in our communities—collaboration instead of competition.
