Collective buying power

Imagine you and your friends want to buy some candy at the store. Individually, you might not be able to afford a lot of candy because it's too expensive. But if you all pool your money together, you can buy way more candy than each of you could buy by yourselves. This is called collective buying power!

It's the same thing with adults and big purchases. Sometimes there are things we need to buy that are really expensive, like a car or a house. If we try to buy these things on our own, we might not be able to afford them. But if lots of people work together and pool their money, they can buy things they wouldn't be able to afford alone.

For example, let's say 10 people want to buy a house that costs $100,000. Individually, none of them could afford it. But if they all pool their money together, they have a total of $1,000,000! They can use that money to buy the house together and split it up however they want.

Collective buying power is all about using the strength of a group to get something that would be too expensive for any one person to buy alone. It's a great way to save money and get the things you need or want!
