Some libraries even have an online community board to find things to do. <BR/><BR/>Also, check out local colleges and universities, especially if they have music programs. Students often offer free concerts, or even theatre productions for very little cost.mzmunynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-43986604576068148372007-12-02T21:37:00.000-06:002007-12-02T21:37:00.000-06:00Good post, Kevin. I have cheap fun! Today I went to the YMCA and worked out. Then I ate pho soup for five dollars, and read the Wall Street Journal over coffee and a cookie. Total cost: $36/mo for the Y, and $11 for the rest. That's my relaxing Sunday fun.<BR/><BR/>When I really get down, I might treat myself to a movie. But if I'm in debt, and especially if my debt carries interest, my fun better be cheap. The ends don't always meet, but I must try to make them meet.<BR/><BR/>Last night I stayed home with my friend and we played with Lego blocks and stuffed animals. We also watched a Netflix movie. Big fun!<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's a lesson they'll have to learn themselves, Kevin.JohnDiddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05790137091661859754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-19012093949058353312007-12-02T21:33:00.000-06:002007-12-02T21:33:00.000-06:00Just thought I would check in and say hi....I finally have a few minutes to read some blogs and of course, yours is one of my first!<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you. We always want it now. I am so glad I have changed the way I see things. It is so much more exciting when you save up for something and then get to buy it. You work for it and then you realize whether it is worth the money. <BR/><BR/>I hope you get your debt gone before 2009 for sure!!LeighAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368496806584235888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-79213511032937380072007-12-02T17:47:00.000-06:002007-12-02T17:47:00.000-06:00In the summer, a number of the suburbs in Denver have free outdoor concerts in one park or another. You could hear a new band almost every night of the week all summer. If you like sports, there are always recreational teams playing at various parks. People watching is always free. I second the movie rentals at the library. There are lots of opportunities if you look for them.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-68598207330095610092007-12-01T19:03:00.000-06:002007-12-01T19:03:00.000-06:00Go to Library and check out a movie for free. Go home pop some popcorn and watch the movie for a movie night.Seannoreply@blogger.com
