Wonderful suggestions. I love board games and will enjoy that one tremendously. No matter how broke a person is he/she should find little things that will enable happiness and enjoyment in his/her life.

I have to say I really agree with numbers 8 and 6. Picking up a paperback book at the local bookstore and spending less than $10 will provide at least 5 or 6 solid hours of entertainment. As opposed to going to a movie theatre where you’re charged about $10 per ticket for a little over 2 hours worth of entertainment, a book is an incredible bargain.

And does anyone really have any idea how fun Monopoly can be with a couple of friends (especially with a few beers)? I mean, when you invest 3 or 4 hours into a board game like that, it really starts to get intense.

I completely agree there are so many things you can do around where you live or nearby that don’t cost a lot of money, but are still great to do on your own or with family and friends. Great article.

I love walking along the beach shore, especially in the beautiful islands of my home country – the Philippines! Watching for the cool and peaceful waves is mesmerizing. I can’t wait to take a summer vacation.

I’d like to add my all-time favorite! >>> ‘Stargazing on a clear night sky’!

I completely agree with you about the fact that you don’t need a lot of money to enjoy life or those subtle moments, but imagine adding money to those already enjoyable moments…

Sure, walking on the beach is enjoyable, but how much more enjoyable would it be to DUNE BUGGY down that thing? Riding your bike is nice…through the Sahara Desert. Walk the mall…and buy everything in sight!

All you really have to do is make making money enjoyable. Too many people hate their work nowadays…it’s too bad really.

There is a lot of nature (explorable nature, anyway) in the area we live, so many of your suggestions fit perfectly. It’s definitely good to get out of the house, because if you stay in, you’ll just end up in front of the computer, TV, or cleaning.

You mention board games as a way to enjoy your family, but we’ve also found that it’s a great way to get a core group of friends together for some free fun. The art of board/activity games has definitely been lost in recent years, and we’re fighting to get it back.

Two of my favorites that really get the crowd going are Pictionary and Catch Phrase.

No waves or beaches nearby, and I don’t own a car. Limits the options quite a bit- now spending time with the family and surfing the internet, that I can do in style! I’ll also second writers coin in that I hate boardgames 99% of the time- there are more enjoyable activities to do with the people you care about.

Volunteer!

Do this with friends and family or make new friends while volunteering.
- Often volunteering causes no expense besides
- Sometimes it does.

I volunteer with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). It does cost me some to volunteer with this group but it is more then worth every penny. The satisfaction I get from helping teens, doing Search & Rescue and disaster response and adding to my education through free Air Force and CAP Professional Development and Career Development courses is invaluable.
- I have volunteered with varying commitment levels over the last 7 years…

Check it out: http://www.gocivilairpatrol.org :
“Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with 58,000 members nationwide. CAP performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and was credited by the AFRCC with saving 91 lives in fiscal year 2008. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counter-drug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to the more than 23,000 young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs. CAP has been performing missions for America for 68 years.”
