Tip 5: Free Fun

Try an experiment: go one week without spending any money on fun.

In just one week, you will begin to think outside of the box. Entertainment will become an adventure. The time the you spend with your family and friends will be more meaningful. You will also save a lot of money.

Now, expand that experiment beyond a week...maybe a month, or even a year. The traditional formula for entertainment (dinner and a movie) can be replaced with free concerts at the park, picnics, hikes, bike rides, floats down the river, game nights with friends...

Or, look for calendars in free magazines or newspapers. You can normally find them near the front door at your local grocer. Other great resources are your local library and community center.
