When you are trying to get a handle on your finances, it can feel like you’re not able to do anything fun, right?
Wrong!
You may have to look a little harder to find things that don’t cost any money but I promise, they exist! Here are a few ideas to get you started!
Go for a picnic at a local park. Some might even have a splash pad or creek to play in!
Go for a walk in your neighborhood. Slow down and enjoy what you don’t normally see when you’re in a car.
Read a book - get the book from the library for free!
Speaking of libraries, check out the free classes and activities yours offers.
Take a nap!
Get creative in the kitchen - have a Chopped-like dinner challenge. Make tonight’s meal from random ingredients in your pantry!
Go for a hike - leave the electronics and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views!
Look for free community events. Check Facebook events and local groups to find ones near you.
Go Geocaching - basically scavenger hunts! Fun for all ages (my husband and I do them!) and you may discover a new place you didn’t know about!
Play a board game or do a puzzle. I’m a huge jigsaw puzzle fan! But we also have a game night with friends every so often. Bonus is that we do it potluck style and share dinner together!
Organize that closet or drawer you’ve been meaning to get to for ages.
