I don’t love high interest rates and inflation generally speaking, but I always chuckle at the hysteria around the rate decisions that the Fed makes and the corresponding effort that everyone makes to interpret the Fed chair’s facial twitches for future clues.
I just keep my savings parked in a 5%+ money market fund and go on with my life.
Gym.
My local gym membership is $400 a year and I go 3-4x a week. Good way to stay active and meet people.
Dang! That works out to ~$2.50 per visit. That’s a pretty great deal!
What are your favorite low budget hobbies?
Hiking, although I did go down the rabbit hole of ultralight hiking/camping. That’s where you end up paying a premium for tents, sleep systems, and packs.
I do enjoy going to the library. We also have a few breweries around with a dog park so it’s pretty easy to grab a pint and sip on it while enjoying the weather for a few hours.
You guys have time for hobbies? 😅
I’ve got very little free time these days period, but some of my low(er) budget hobbies include running, coding projects (did some fun raspberry pi projects with old hardware obtained from a local buy nothing group), and listening to audio books / podcasts.
For myself, my main cheap hobbies are taking long walks with my dog through the neighborhood and reading books from the library.
