Find inexpensive or free events sponsored by your city or town. There may be more than you realize. Check with your city recreation department for activities that might be fun for you and your friends. You might find, for example, that the community center shows a popular movie on Friday nights or that there’ll be a free music festival in the park next weekend. Donation-based yoga classes are available in some areas. Many cities sponsor free art exhibits once or twice a year. Museums may offer free admission every so often. Board games are a great way to have fun while spending as little money as possible. After the initial purchase, it's free entertainment forever! You can have food or drinks at home, play with friends, and have just as much fun as going out on an expensive date.  Try the classic games (Life, Monopoly, Sorry) as well as newer ones (Apples to Apples, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc.). You and your friends can have a weekly Game Night and rotate it among your homes. Cards Against Humanity is another good money savers option because it's available for free download at home. This game may not be appropriate for kids (or extremely polite society), but many people find it exceptionally entertaining. Reading is fun, cheap (or free) and a great way to spend your time in a fulfilling way.  Start with easy-to-read classics, like Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, if you’ve been away from the literary world for a while. Get a library card. Borrow books for free. With the appropriate reading device, you can borrow e-books for free. Cheap, used books are available online and at many bookstores. Additionally, many older books in the public domain are available for free and can be read online or downloaded to a e-reader. Instead of buying expensive movies, start a small movie theater in your living room for your friends or family. Get everyone to chip in a little, and then put together a big party, complete with movie, popcorn and games. You wind up owning a free or cheap movie, and you have fun with your friends! Traveling nationally or internationally doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive. There are lots of ways to cut expenses, making travel cheaper than you ever thought possible.  Carefully choose where you stay. Check out hostels, AirBNB rooms, and campgrounds to save on lodging. Plan your travel in advance to save on the cost of tours. Planning ahead will make the trip more fun, and you will be more knowledgeable about the location when you get there. Travel during the "off season," when flights are cheapest. You can research your tickets, find good deals, and buy at least six weeks in advance, so that even if you are traveling during the busy season, you'll pay less than regular price. Tourist areas are typically expensive, but you can get by more cheaply in less popular areas. This kind of travel experience offers  more “adventure” and authentic experience than just going from landmark to landmark.
