Cheap things to do with broke friends?
« on: September 12, 2014, 12:35:58 pm »
I have two weeks left and I want to spend it with friends and my special other... but

we are all broke college students...

And these past few days have been a terrible start of my summer vacation...

Take a couple of hours and get together somewhere that has Internet Access and brainstorm a few ideas that can help your fellow students in the same boat. Then write up a short report about each solution and sell them online for 50 cents or a dollar. When you get set up, let your friends on Facebook know what you did so they can buy a report or two.

This can produce INSTANT money to your PayPal account and then you can go have a success party!

Hi! Go on a nature hike, or the beach for that matter! It's amazingly refreshing, loads of fun, and best of all, all you need is gas money! I like to take my own food and snacks. It makes a huge difference on my bank account because eating out is so expensive. Hope this helps!

I agree with Mart2618. One of the most fun things to do is to go to a state or national park with friends and go on a long hike. Bring lunch along to share on the trail. Or go camping overnight together someplace. Outdoor adventures are always sure to please everyone in the group.

Some theaters have free movies during the day. Check your theater. Hang out at a friend's house or go to the mall.

I like old Buddy plan to make a little extra cash.  Just getting together is nice also.

My very first thought was to pack a lunch and go explore a national or state park. There are so many that are free and beautiful to explore. You could also get together and play games ( either sports or board games. Have everyone bring a snack food.

Well staying in and playing board games can be fun if you got the right people. We've had a blast doing that and it cost no money! :)

Volleyball, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, watching movies, cooking and eating. As long as you're together, you'll be having fun and laughing.  :D

Be grateful that you have so many friends to do things with. Not all are so fortunate. Have a great time!!!!

  Do not hang around broke people because they will bring you down. Earn your own cash and be financially independent. Do not forget: Money makes the world go around!

Get your friends together for Movie Night at home.  Watch a movie that you and most of yours friends like and pop some popcorn and have each person bring their drink of choice.  :)

You can't go wrong with movie night! Also, research dollar theaters in your areas.  Go to a Dollar Tree and gather supplies for a girls night in (nail polish, facial cream, hair products, etc.), go to the park and play like you did as a child, or throw on your exercise gear and go for a nice long walk.

Museums in my area are free, exhibits cost, but just going through the museum doesn't cost a thing. The library is a good option too-lots of books, peace and quiet. Getting in some exercise, like a hike, a game of tennis or a bike ride. Good luck.
