It’s hard to waste money when you’re too busy to do it. A full financial re-evaluation is a great chance to pick up a new hobby, or maybe even an old hobby that’s fallen by the wayside. The key is to choose a hobby that’s not too expensive.
Free or affordable hobbies to consider include:
If you already have sporting or outdoors equipment, dust it off and hit the trail or court. Whether you pick up a hobby that’s solitary or communal, you might find it’s a good excuse to connect with friends, whether it’s to discuss your latest activities or swap supplies.
For an extra challenge, track what you spend on your hobby and see how close to free you can keep it. For instance, if the nearest art museum doesn’t charge admission on Tuesday evenings, round up your fellow art lovers and visit then.
