Making the most of life... On a budget

1) Volunteer work... There are lots of opportunities out there. Picking up garbage or reading to senior citizens are not the only options you have! I encourage you to research topics you feel you have some interest in or passion for and see if there are opportunities. It's also a fantastic way to meet people. You can even volunteer online.

2) Get into DIY. There are so many things you can do yourself! Go on pinterest or do some googling... This can turn into a great hobby. You can learn how to sew etc. etc. You can also watch youtube videos to learn how to do almost anything!

3) Take some classes. I, for example want to take aerial classes and lyra hoop classes. I did some research and 1 month trial of classes is $65 which includes about 5 classes and 2 open practices. If you really define your needs and wants, it is a lot easier to make a budget that includes this kind of stuff. There are even free classes if you just do your research.

4) Go to a local park or a local swimming hole. You can have a great time hiking or jumping off a rope swing! Just google! You can go tubing on a river which is loads of fun for a small fee.

5) Try WWOOFing!.... You go to an organic farm anywhere in the world and volunteer! Most places offer basic accommodation like food and shelter. You do work for 4-5 hours a week and then you can explore the local area. You just have to pay your own travel fee.
