With the economy being so bad right now it’s really hard for anyone to find a job, especially for someone under the age of 18 (I speak from experience). With no job, this probably means you have no extra money and with no extra money this means you can’t do anything fun right? WRONG! There are tons of awesome activities you can do for little or no cost…you just need to look a little harder.
You could plan a game night with your friends; have each friend bring a snack, a game and BAM, the perfect party without hiring a caterer or breaking the bank.
Another activity for those of you who love the wintertime is sledding! Most parks that usually charge entrance in the summer are closed in the winter and are therefore completely free! So get a bunch of your friends together and hit the slopes.
Here’s one for all of you fashionistas out there, get a group of your girls together and go window shopping You can have a contest for who can find the craziest outfit, or maybe all search for your dream prom gown, or try on something you would never wear and take crazy pictures. It can be a lot of fun and it doesn’t cost anything!
If you’re more of a sports person why not plan a pickup game? Have a guys against girls sports day or all head to the beach for Frisbee and volleyball, whatever you choose remember that it’s all about having fun whether your team dominates or loses by a billion points.
There are so many things you can plan for free, put on your thinking cap and come up with something you and your friends would enjoy doing. Good luck! Have fun and stay safe
