Some hobbies require a lot of money for equipment and expenses. I try to avoid these. For me, it is hard to enjoy something that costs a lot of money when I have bills to pay. I look for free or cheap hobbies that I can enjoy and feel good about. Some of my favorite cheap hobbies include:
* Walking
* Pets: dogs and cats
* Hiking
* Biking
* Blogging
* Writing
* Gardening
* Reading
* Watching free TV
* Repairing things
* Selling things on eBay, on craigslist, at consignment stores
You’ll notice that some of these hobbies actually can make money. This book is focused on ways to spend less money- in a future book, I plan to explore easy ways to make money.
Take a look at your hobbies and how much you spend on them. Consider switching to less expensive hobbies- you may find that you enjoy them more since you have to worry about spending less.
