40 Hobbies That Won't Break The Bank
40 Hobbies That Won't Break The Bank
Some people spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on their hobbies—photography is one of those hobbies, ask me how I know. And that's great, if that expenditure is continuously affordable for your budget. But sometimes things change and we need to look for new ways to enjoy life that won't come at such a big expense to our bank accounts. Here are 40 hobbies that won't break the bank, but are enjoyable all the same.
Getting Out For A Hike
If you have a local hiking trail (or network) to explore, then your costs are going to be close to zero to begin hiking with a few friends or by yourself on the weekends. Even if you have to travel a bit, the rest of the hobby enjoyment phase is free! And, exercise is good for you, as is getting out in nature.
Going Camping
Take the kids or some friends, snacks, and drinks and do some camping. While your expenses are going to be gas and food, it's an easier financial pill to swallow for the quality time you'll have. A tip just in case you don't live near the woods or accessible campground: Go camping in your backyard and make a big deal out of it!
Knitting & Crocheting
Knitting isn't only an inexpensive hobby for the elderly—if you enjoy it and are good at it, you can make a bit of money, or at the very least not stress about gifts come Christmas time. Knitting and crocheting can also be very therapeutic.
Play Board Games
Do you remember your favorite board game as a child? Chances are you can find it at your local second-hand store or on Ebay for a few dollars—or you can find out which board games your friends would be interested in playing and make it a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly occurrence. Bring some drinks and order a pizza. Some classics are Monopoly (choose your favorite variation), chess, checkers, or Scrabble.
