Good morning 0410

Yesterday, I attended an online English meeting. There were four members, three of us were Japanese, and the other was Taiwanese.

The topics were "Trade"

◆When was the last time you did some sort of trade with money?

Probably my husband and I did “trade” when we bought a new car three years ago.

◆Have you ever done any work where you paid with something other than money?

When we bought the car at a dealer, a strange thing happened.  We were going to pay in cash in a lump. But they asked us to pay in installments. They didn’t add any interests, on the contrary, they gave us a discount. We paid mostly on the spot with Yuki’s credit card, and this year we are going to pay the rest. It was not a monthly installment plan. 

Two of the members talked about stocks.I am not familiar with stocks, so I just listened to them.

It was a good time to learn and use English and current topics.
