Paying it forward is nothing new. Though the concept has been espoused by such giants of history as Benjamin Franklin, the idea really wove its way into pop culture with Catherine Ryan Hyde’s “Pay It Forward” novel and the (some say shamelessly sappy) movie it inspired. It’s a simple idea: When someone does something nice for you, instead of returning the favor, you perform a good deed that will benefit another. So, rather than in a transactional economy, in which you owe debts directly to your lender, the pay-it-forward economy tags a third-party beneficiary who then, ideally, tags another.

Starbucks.
Profits down.
They can use all the ads they can get.

The truly needy need blankets, vaccines and food.

Pay that forward, say those who work the system.

totally love pay it forward and will do it when I can

if i have an extra coupon I will give it away and ask the recipient to pay it forward

if I loan u a quarter I will ask you to do the same for another, and in my old apt building (a small unit where we knew each other ) everyone would leave an extra quarter on the top of the dryer...and we would fold each others clothes...payin' it forward (I miss that place even tho it was not as nice a place as I am in now just because of things like that we'd do...like we would all do stuff at Christmas...I always picked a neighbor and left them angel gifts...I never had to carry in my own groceries, someone was always on he stoop to chat to, and so on)
