Having a social life on a budget isn\u2019t as hard as you think. You can still see your friends, do some weekend activities and even have a night out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some ways you can still be social without letting your budget get the best of you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saying no to plans can really be a let down especially when it has to do with being on a budget. If you are the organiser with your friends you can make plans that are cheaper alternatives or cost you nothing at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can include things like going on a picnic, going to a no-cost museum, take a hike, go to the beach or have a look at your local council website to see what free concerts and events are on around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set a trend with your friends to have a night in at each other\u2019s places each week. You can watch movies, set up a platter or nibblies that you\u2019ll already have at home and even cook dinner together. By starting this trend saves you money on eating out and each person will have a turn to host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join a gym together, look for places around your state that offers you scenery for a nice day hike, start up a beach volleyball team, or take up a sport. This will cost you a fee to start with but it will save you on spending money going out to places that will cost you a whole lot more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a bit of creativity and a willingness to adventure out and try new things, you can definitely maintain a social life on a budget \u2013 and it will be more fun too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
